Slovakia’s parliament has approved a polarizing defense treaty under which the US will use the country’s Malacky-Kuchyna and Sliac air bases for 10 years and pay Bratislava $100 million to modernize them.
After a round of loud debates on Wednesday, 79 members of the 150-seat Slovakian legislature backed the agreement, while 60 voted against it.
Now NATO can further extend their march onto the Russian border, since the defensive Warsaw Pact was resolved after the Berlin Wall came down, and try to accomplish what Napoleon and Hitler failed to do.
The deal, signed by Khazarica US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Slovakian Defense Minister Jaroslav Nad on February 3, 2022 still has to be ratified by the Central European country’s president, Zuzana Caputova, who apparently supports it.
Several political parties have fiercely opposed the agreement, while thousands protested the deal with Washington outside the parliament building in Slovakia’s capital on Tuesday.
Thanking his colleagues for their vote, Nad was extremely proud that, despite the pressure from trolls, the fabricated pressure on social media, and organized protests, the members of the [ruling] coalition have realized what is important for the Slovak Republic and the next generations?
The US and Slovakia are military allies through the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The agreement with the USA was signed amid the ongoing standoff between the Western military bloc and Russia over Ukraine and the bloc’s expansion in Eastern Europe?
Former Slovak prime minister Robert Fico, whose socialist SMER-SD party opposes the agreement, promised to collect signatures in order to put the treasonous deal up for a referendum.
I believe the citizens of the Slovak Republic will say no to the agreement, Fico said. We have handed over our airspace and airports [to be] under the control of the USA, while Russia was the one that had liberated the nation from Nazi Germany.

Doesn’t look like ordinary Slovaks shaking in their boots, fearing an imminent Soviet invasion. That parliaments in EU countries decide against the will of their population however, that’s pretty normal though.
Bordering with Hungary and Germany is a strategic gateway to the front in Ukraine?
Clever, they get hundred million to become a nuclear target for ten years, terrific idea !
Next bordering nuclear NATO arsenal in northern Italy.
Fortunately they still have Russian military equipment operational?
