Brave citizens of Prague and Trokavec “stay foot” as they the in the US Army! The mayors did a very good job and so you did! The US and their local puppets and a specific “foreign” minority will come back for the realization of this project. Politicians have to look first after their carriers. Among the reasons that US have temporarily retracted may also be the folloing: 1. - It is not the right time when US suffers an economic crises provoked by themselves, when millions are jobless and homeless, when the eighty military US bases around the world cost too much and when the country’s debt is rising. The US citizens may react violently this time, like they did once in L.A. for a great number of similar reasons...2. - They retract to manage the reactions better by propaganda, by buying or disciplining people, by manipulating etc. Do not step back! You have a lot to loose: your health {radiation} and eventually your life and your property, because it is only logic to bombard such areas. It is primarily an area problem. That means that it should be decided by the area people and not the whole country. table. Once US military set foot in your country they will define exercises and real war standard procedures, but they will prefer the real war procedures pretending that NATO computers were malfunctioning. As they are maniacs of manipulation they will corrupt your military and political personnel. I give you an example: When they manipulated the Turks to invade Cyprus so that “Israel” could have free access to the military airports of North Cyprus to attack Syria etc., they demanded that we should not move the units from northern Greece, because of an eminent invasion by Warsaw Pact. Our Secret Services and Generals, acting as foreign mercenaries in their own Patria spread the same lies. The Ambassador of US demanded the return of our navy and air force. NATO said school books should not refer to these events..

For 2 years the Czechs and the Poles were fed BS after BS that the radar is vital and will increase security and protect the country and the world from terrorism. The issue was beyond debate. Now, the US has scrapped it. So obviosuly it was not all that important. Now all these politicians look like a bunch of idiots and liars.
