BRATISLAVA, Slovakia (AP) — Slovakia’s parliament and president on Wednesday approved a defense military treaty with the United States.

The Defense Cooperation Agreement passed 79-60 in the 150-seat legislature in a vote split between lawmakers from the four-party ruling coalition and the opposition.

The treaty allows the U.S. military to use two Slovak air force bases — Malacky-Kuchyna and Sliac — for 10 years while Slovakia — a NATO member like the U.S. — will receive $100 million from the U.S. to modernize them.

The deal was signed by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Slovakia’s defense minister, Jaroslav Nad, on Feb. 3 in Washington. It was ratified by President Zuzana Caputova on Wednesday.

Well thank god we got that settled so we can give them 100 million and stop that imminent invasion. I was worried sick. Without NATO who would protect us from the problems caused by NATO?

“Been to Bratislava, nice city.”

It’s also much improved like the rest of Slovakia since they got rid of their pesky infestation of Russians.

Sounds like the US is going to have to occupy Moscow in order to protect Ukraine.

Yep. Every former satellite of the Soviet/Russians is doing better. Poland, Hungary, everybody.

Nobody likes the Russians except for the Iranians, Norks and Chinese. And the Chinese are merely using the Russians. They are nothing to the Chinese and they will take the natural resources and oil in Siberia, which they consider Chinese land.

This is what majority of Slovaks think of the occupation.

And this is who we suppose to go to war with Russia for.

The Azov bunch are bad news, but that’s what mercenary armies attract.

They'll last for about 5 mins. in a real war.

Agreed. Siberia is properly part of China and historically it was Chinese long before the Russians came along.

There are no permanent US force commitments in Slovakia.
If Slovakia were to be attacked the Russian military will be reduced in detail.

Not to mention the Russian navy hips being destroyed in the Pacific and in Crimea.

Russia can totally annihilate the US in 30 minutes. Those who seek war with it are lunatics.

Treaties used to need congressional approval.

Nobody seeks war with Russia. Russia seeks war through its own corruption and grandiose impression of itself, rather Putin’s absurd grandiose perceptions, laid out for all to see.

Russia is a mere nuisance to the West.
