Vláďa Foltán shared a statement from a man he called the best defense minister in the history of the USA. He stated that he served as a captain in Afghanistan and at the headquarters in Kabul, he saw 50 flags of countries involved in the NATO alliance mission and the ISAF mission. However, according to him, only about five countries were actually contributing to the mission, and by the end of combat operations, only one or two were involved. He added that soldiers jokingly interpreted the acronym ISAF as a claim that they saw Americans fighting. Foltán then ironically wrote that such an approach was a "superb way" to secure support from allies in the future, and he doubted that they would eagerly get involved again with such a grateful and loyal partner. https://t.co/JBjoHcewQQ #NATO #Afghánistán #vojenskáhistorie (translated)

Kamil Krilov criticized Andrej Babiš for his statements about agricultural subsidies, contributions to the EU budget, and the adoption of the euro. He wrote that Babiš praised Ireland for not interfering with national agricultural subsidies while simultaneously criticizing net contributors to the EU budget for their reliefs. According to Krilov, Babiš also stated that the Czech Republic will never adopt the euro. Krilov interpreted Babiš’s stance as others having to pay while Agrofert will draw support and the Czech Republic will not fulfill its commitments to Europe. He accused Babiš of promoting his own interests and privatizing the Czech Republic through his influence, while blackmailing Europe. He pointed out to Babiš’s voters that they expect a change for the better from him. He claimed that under his government, gasoline and mortgages became more expensive and that the situation with doctors did not change. He also wrote that Babiš gained power and will use it for his own benefit at the expense of the entire country. He labeled support for Babiš’s private interests as support for the voters' own impoverishment. https://t.co/e15Pdh2AFb #politika #Česko #Babiš (translated)

Petr Holec noted that former German President Christian Wulff resigned on February 17, 2012, after just 20 months in office due to allegations of corruption and receiving benefits from entrepreneurs. According to information he cited from Echo24, Wulff, a CDU politician who was pushed into office in 2010 by Chancellor Angela Merkel, faced criticism for his contacts with business people during the time he was leading the government of Lower Saxony from 2003 to 2010. Holec also stated that there were suspicions that Wulff accepted invitations for vacations and other benefits. Investigators, according to him, focused on his relationship with film producer David Groenewold, who allegedly covered some of Wulff's hotel stays on the island of Sylt and expenses related to a visit to the Munich Oktoberfest. Wulff claimed that these were private friendly relationships and that he subsequently paid the costs. Holec further wrote that Petr Pavel is allegedly set to announce his resignation as president on Monday at 9:00 and to apologize to the public for its undignified performance. #politika #korupce #česko (translated)

Kutil Tona ironically wrote that the conflict of interest of Andrej Babiš, the ANO scandal, the Turkish finances, the poor state of the budget, the postponement of defense, and the disintegration of the country were overlooked, while the privately paid vacation of Petr Pavel was considered, in his view, a real scandal. He compared hypocrisy to such a rich source of electricity that it would be possible to shut down Temelín because of it. #politika #skandál #česko (translated)
