It's amusing you have such a low opinion of the Czechs and Poles.
It's not low at all, actually. But, imo, Czechia just objectively wouldn't be capable to control what the Yanks do on their soil, once they got hold there.
Believe me when I say that our alliance with the US is nothing like the one we used to have with the USSR (=dance to the Soviet tune, get rolled over by tanks when we stopped for a moment).
Don't you have old babushkas nostalic for good ole times? Guess not after 68.
Well, every single time Russia proposed something like this, it was a just a ploy to divide Europeans from Americans, or Europeans from other Europeans. If you're serious, apply for NATO membership![]()
And who's paranoid now?

...In other words, individual leaders may sometimes forget, but in general European governments do care about all this stuff, it's not all just a rhetoric.
Let me just say, that I think otherwise. Sure in the normal stream of things they're all democracy and all that, but when there's opportunity for gaining a strategical advantage they forget about it very quickly. See Schroeder.
There are no US bases on our soil yet. And even if they were, they'd be just small radar installations - ironically dependent on electricity from our energy grid![]()
