President Zeman Tells Washington That the Czech Republic Is Not an American Protectorate

European governments are regarded by Washington as vassals who behave according to Washington’s wishes.

 

As readers know, I have emphasized for years that European governments are regarded by Washington as vassals who behave according to Washington’s wishes.  It has been 70 years—two or three generations—since former world powers, such as Great Britain and Germany had an independent foreign policy.

 In addition to this ignobility, European governments are also vassals to the EU, so on the sovereignty front European countries are twice damned.  They simply have no sovereignty.

This is why it is so easy for Washington to spin a web of lies and drive its vassals into a “crisis” with Russia that does not serve the interests of Europeans.  Washington’s European puppets don’t count.  Only Washington counts.
Next month is Russia’s Victory Day celebration over Nazi Germany.  Washington has told its puppets not to attend, and many including German chancellor Merkel have complied with their overlord’s demand.  But not the President of the Czech Republic.
