New sheriff in Slovakia to Mr. Z: ‘No more weapons for you.’

New sheriff in Slovakia to Mr. Z: ‘No more weapons for you.’

 

While US presidential candidates champion endless support for US wars, proxy and otherwise, one such candidate in Slovakia did the opposite. And he won.

 

Robert Fico’s Smer-SD party triumphed last month making Fico Prime Minster. He campaigned on reversing another round of Slovakian weapons for Ukraine which have done nothing but prolong the war for 21 months now. Fico promptly cancelled previously approved package of 140 KUB air defense system rockets, over 5,000 pieces of 125 mm cannon ammunition, and 4 million rounds of small arms ammunition.

 

Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians would still be alive had US/NATO countries demanded negotiations early on instead of weaponry to prolong the bloodshed.  

                                             

Sure would be nice if Joe Biden and the dozen or so Republican candidates would follow Fico’s lead and campaign to cancel the current $61 billion weapons package proposal for Ukraine. Better to use that precious treasure to uplift the Homeland instead of further destroying Ukraine.
