I see, but essentially what you are saying is 'be on the US side, we got cookies, unlike the bad guys.' How is that? Why are you suggesting that for a small nation one side is better than the other? Would you treat the situation the same way if, let's imagine, the Czechs said, sorry, guys, Mr.Medvedev promised us this and that if we install his rocket base, so we're gonna do it? What makes you think the Czechs would be better off with the radar than without it, or maybe with some Russian stuff instead?
