It’s refreshing that these Slavic states are stepping up and know what it takes to really understand Freedom. They seem to realize it’s not a buzzword or something that is magically bestowed upon them. They know it takes fucking hard work and long term dedication. That’s how freedom endures, that’s how it’s born.

The Iraqis have Sov-style weapons just like the Czechs make for themselves. Where the west-euros just see a morass, the Czechs see an opportunity, I wish them well.

Glad to see the Czech on board!
The more help Iraq gets from the international community the better. Iraq will come together and be strong.
