TOP 10 REASONS WHY @SpeakerPelosi TAIWAN TRIP IS A STRATEGIC SUCCESS:

1) Geostrategic defeat for Xitler who is already weakened by his screwed-up handling of covid. It weakens his domestic position within the Chinese Communist Party leadership before this fall. Hugely important.
2) Strategically, China was having initiative in blackmailing democracies over Taiwan.

Chinese leadership was thrown off-balance, clearly did not expect such a symbolic strike right into its propaganda world.

Pelosi action speaks louder than Chinese Commie lies and threats.
3) With such strategically-valued visit, @SpeakerPelosi brought highest-level possible friendly pressure to Taiwanese military leadership:

We are the Congress which stands with you with action & money, but you must really prepare for Ukraine-style defense.

Now is the time.

Today, Czech government announced our new Chief of Czech General Staff - General Karel Řehka.

That is huge news, let me explain why. A 47-year old ( = extremely young) one-star General will lead the Czech military in times of largest European war since 1945.
He is very hawkish on Russia and China, just led our national cyber agency. See how he got here:

Karel Řehka was born in 1975, went though Czech military education, but also studied at (British) Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst (1997).
Started as a group commander with Czech Special Operations Forces (SOF) unit, passed the (U.S.) Ranger course in 1999, then was deployed in Kosovo with KFOR.

In 2001, co-founded first Czech Forward Air Controller group.

When discussing with many friends within European foreign policy and intelligence establishments on Ukraine, there is possible worst-case scenario discussed:
Imagine: Russia offers truce/ceasefire once it:

(1) militarily achieves most of its territorial gain

(2) uses German & French greed to blackmail Ukraine into accepting Russia territorial demands

(3) portrays Ukraine refusing Russian demands as reason for global food crisis
Then, once Russia “offers” this truce, Western European countries will blackmail Ukraine to accept it.

Ukraine was privately told this in Davos - negotiate a deal with Russia now or Western support might drop.

This pressure to Ukraine from Berlin and Paris is here.

PRINCIPLED & HAWKISH CZECH FOREIGN POLICY IS BACK:

Today, Czech Republic has a new Foreign Minister @JanLipavsky. He is by far the most outspoken foreign policy oriented Czech politician of today.

Let me share some of his most important public quotes on Russia and China:
“I do not want Moscow to confuse us with a doormat. I do not want Czechia to become a Russian satellite state again. And I want to continue building a proud, democratic country. A country capable of protecting its citizens and confronting international bullying.”

(April 2020)
“Today Czech Republic paid tribute to Russian army in Moscow. Today’s actions of the Russian army have nothing to do with the celebrations of the end of World War II. It occupies Crimea, it started a war in Donbas and it parades at a square with a nuclear warhead.

CZECH DOMESTIC COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (@biscz ) 2020 ANNUAL REPORT:

Here are their main assessments on Russian, Chinese and Iranian intelligence ops against the Czech Republic, see below:

Full report: bis.cz/public/site/bi…
The message is clear. In 2014, the Russian state organised a bomb explosion in Czech town Vrbětice, which led to two thirds of Russian diplomatic (and intel under diplomatic cover) personnel kicked out of Czech soil in April 2021.
Czech counter-intelligence agency explains:

Russian espionage uses WWII memorial events for cultivation and recruitment of intelligence assets on the Czech territory.
