Not only does the Czech Republic have free elections but if you look up and compare life expectancy, Czechs live 10 years longer on avg than Russians do. Sure Milos Zeman is not a slave to the E.U.-crats in Brussels, that’s a good thing.

Do I like that he’s a former communist and buddies with Putin and crew? No. But from my understanding, he’s ultimately a Czech nationalist and he helped usher his country into the E.U./NATO fold. So what if he’s critical of NATO? So is Trump. The criticism is healthy and only forces the institution to get its act together.

I don’t think Zeman will bring his country to a dead end the way Putin has, and now that Trump is president, Czechs have more reason to trust America again.

Also: while influential, I hear his role is more ceremonial than anything. Unlike Russia, there’s actual balance of power in Czech govt.
