What makes you think the Czechs would be better off with the radar than without it, or maybe with some Russian stuff instead?

I haven't suggested you align yourselves with anyone. I'm not pro-US. I'm American and i think i live in a nation of pathetic retards and this nation has a cultural/identity crisis that is far worse than the economic issues we face.
i'm simply saying that life is not fair. the world is not fair and sometimes the only choice is to make the lessor of two shitty choices. whereas, not making a choice is just setting yourself up to be the victim of who might choose you... i.e. August 21, 1968.
the thing is, you're not saying "I think a better choice for CZ is to line up with Medvedev" (a guy who incidentally, Russians don't even consider to be president). you're just throwing out objections... not solutions or alternatives.
