Checking out the details of the #Russia attack on the #Czechia ammunition depot in Vrbětice in 2014, I read with some amusement the then Prime Minister Andrej Babiš’s excuses of how “Russian agents were not attacking the Czech Republic, they were attacking the property of a Bulgarian company”, and then further excuses them that “the cargo was supposed to explode on the way, not in the Czech Republic”.
That was truly an awesome excuse! The Russians wanted the explosion to happen on the road in some town or on the highway, but it exploded on the spot - okay, time fuses are complicated, not their fault!
To put it bluntly, if then in 2014 there had been a determined EU and #NATO response to that attack of an absolutely belligerent and aggressive nature (people died) - such as in 2021-2022 i.e. sanctions and a determined expulsion of Russian personnel etc. - then probably the war in 2022 would not have broken out at all.
Instead, a few years later, NATO issued a lame statement about “expressing solidarity with the Czech people” - I wonder why, since according to Babiš it was not even the Czech Republic that was attacked? Or was it, after all?
And it only issued it because Bellingcat revealed the real perpetrators of the attack, which the Czech government had apparently been withholding all this time…. presumably so as “not to escalate the situation”!
