Ironically, the major sticking point is the potential for Germans to sue for land lost after WWII. The Czech republic, Slovakia, Poland, Romania, and the former Yugoslav states all had sizable German populations that were forcibly relocated after WWII. One can hardly blame the central Europeans for wanting to be rid of the Germans after WWII, but this was mainly the doing of Stalin, along with completely redrawing Poland’s borders to suit Russian interests. Slovakia and Poland are also becoming uneasy about the dominant role Germany would play in a strengthened EU. It’s almost as if they are all better off in their own nation-states…

That neocon hero, Woodrow Wilson, refused Emperor Karl’s peace offers and insisted on breaking up the Austro-Hungarian Empire. When Karl abdicated, the German-speaking parts became a republic:

However, Dr. “ethnic self-determination” Wilson, the only other incumbent President to win a Nobel Peace Prize – insisted on handing the German-speaking parts of Austria over to the new artificial entity of Czechoslovakia. He also continued the starvation blockade of Germany and Austria AFTER they agreed to his “peace without victory” Armistice. My grandmother told me about being dependent on US aid packages during that period. The results of these boundaries were that the largest political party in the 1935 Czechoslovak election was the pro-Nazi Sudeten German Party – Versailles begat Hitler and the Anschluss and the 1938-1939 destruction of the Czechoslovak republic. Thank you, Nobelist Woody.

Now, the same arrogant meddling Wilsonian mentality wants to screw up the independence and sovereignty of Europe. The statist bureaucrats will stomp on property rights and liberties of Europeans who can only vote IN FAVOR of this EU Caliphate (any vote against never counts!).

Hopefully, the Czechs keep a right to secede from this Megastate monstrosity and that Klaus keeps resisting.

I admire his stance, but if he is a real man of integrity and not just another politician he does have a choice. He can put what is right before personal ambition and resign.

Literally everything I know about Czechs
is good. And the one person I knew of Czech descent was outstanding.

Silly, wicked centralizers:

Evil needs a hierarchy;
The Lord needs no such thing.
If one wants to bring on evil,
bring on that one-world thing.

from the linked article:
“Diplomats have griped that the Czech Republic’s standing in the E.U. has hit a new low, with some talking about how the country could be denied a seat in the next European Commission.”

Just what is it that goes into the making of “diplomats” these days? The irony seems to be lost on the striped pants set – capitulate or be denied a part in the procedure of your capitulation. What true democrat could resist a deal so democratic?
