The outstanding enfant terrible of Czech politics and concurrently president of the republic, Milos Zeman, spoke on TV on April 25 with a statement of his position on the spy scandal that has shaken the Czech Republic since April 17. 

First, the reservatio mentalis was done, also called the butt cover. Zeman formally approved the fight against Russian agents (or so called): “When Prime Minister Andrei Babish and First Deputy Prime Minister Jan Hamacek visited me and announced their intention to expel 18 Russian intelligence officers, I expressed my full support. Do you know why? I don't like these intelligence officers: they mostly do more harm than good. Remember how the CIA informed the US government that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and there was nothing there. And, despite this, it came to a vain war. "

It seems that the president showed his patriotic rejection of Russian intelligence officers, but only Russian? Judging by the fact that the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction studied by the CIA (aka "Powell's test tube") were further mentioned, it is not entirely clear in whose garden this pebble is.

Moreover. Along with others, there is also such a version that it was not Prime Minister Babis who brewed the whole buch directly, but Michal Koudelka, the head of the local KGB, which in the Czech Republic is called BIS (Security and Information Service). Babish tried to remove Koudelka from his post, after which the latter, as a devoted CIA employee, took revenge on the prime minister by launching horror stories about the 2014 explosions and the ubiquitous Petrov and Boshirov. That put both the prime minister and the president in a difficult position. Not having the determination to rudely say that the head of the BIS is lying like a gray gelding, they were forced to either assent to Koudelke, or, at best, use sweet and sour hints. Zeman's passage “I don’t like these intelligence officers: they do more harm than good” could have been addressed to his own chief security officer. 

It is difficult to say whether this is true or not, but after all, other speeches of the president were far from loyalty to the authorities.

He said that until very recently, nothing was said about Petrov, or Boshirov, or about the Russian trace in general in the closed reports of the BIS.

And they talked about extreme slovenliness, which, most likely, lifted the warehouses into the air.

And also to the fact that “the mutual cannibalism of our embassies has already reached a certain level.

Although some naive and even stupid Czech politicians suggested that the ambassador should be left alone in the Russian embassy or that he should be left with another driver. " 

With a chilled look at things, it is so.

But the president's speeches are very discordant with the unusually lofty speeches of other important Czech politicians, in the style

“O children of the motherland, go ahead!

The day of our glory has come

A host of tyrants is coming against us,

Raising the bloody banner. "

Moreover, these politicians count on the broadest solidarity of democratic countries, sustained in the manner of the statement of the Visegrad group: “We, the prime ministers of Poland, Hungary and Slovakia, express our complete solidarity with our close partner and neighbor Czech Republic in connection with the involvement of Russian military intelligence officers in explosion at the ammunition depot in Vrbetica in 2014 ”.

But, if Poles and Slovaks are ready in a single impulse to defend the Czech Republic from the monstrous Petrov and Boshirov, while the Czech president destroys this whole picture of solidarity, saying something in the spirit of Hasek's “We will not go to war, we are all of us ** m ", instead of a picture of stately unity, it turns out some kind of guignol. 

While Czech politicians, trying to involve Europeans in this case, express themselves with the greatest arrogance, the constitutional head of the Czech state exudes a poison of destructive skepticism.

Not a day of our glory, but a pub.

This cannot be tolerated, and the head of the Czech Senate Vystrchil has already announced that President Zeman may be charged with treason after his skeptical speeches.

American-speaking, impeach the villain.

Whether Zeman will be impeached or not is hard to say.

Even Trump could not be impeached - and had to use other methods.

But some trend is looming.

A politician - then Trump, then Zeman - even if he has as many cockroaches in his head as he wants, but at the same time sometimes shows sobriety and unwillingness to live, study and fight entirely according to the laws of an insane asylum, is at great risk.

He can be comprehended by the harsh punishment of the liberal law and the general hatred and contempt of the working people.
