well I was being sarcastic, thats the capital of my country, I was mentioning that because the report wrote its Bratislava, I guessed most peeps would have no idea where it is. Central Yurop heh.
Many dont know Czechoslovakia doesnt exist for some 16 years.

On topic- our defence minister seems to be a real naive man, when he thinks the AMD would help us...It helps being a target thats for sure.
One thing is sure however: Expect no good will from the west. The devil is in the details.
