Robert Fico, the Prime Minister of Slovakia<\/p><\/div>\n

21 Jul 2025\u00a0<\/em>– Robert Fico, the Prime Minister of Slovakia, is a ‘very bad man.’ He disagrees with NATO and EU policy toward Russia, which risks leading to a nuclear holocaust in Europe and all of humanity. He halted weapons deliveries to Ukraine, which only serve to escalate the destruction of that country\u2014supposedly in the name of saving it. Even worse: he doesn\u2019t particularly fancy, if you can believe it, Israel\u2019s atrocities in Palestine. And, on top of that, he hasn\u2019t \u201cmodernized\u201d! That is, he remains an outdated leftist, incapable of adapting like so many others (no names mentioned, no sensibilities offended).<\/p>\n

The worst of all? Fico refuses to wise up. Instead of backing down after they tried and nearly succeeded in killing him<\/a>, instead of changing his mind, instead of going home to tend to himself and his family\u2014both he and the leadership of the left-wing Smer party governing in Bratislava are not only persisting but radicalizing their politics!<\/p>\n

Despite protests from Ursula [von der Leyen] and her friends in the Commission leadership, Fico visited Moscow and spoke with Putin. He long-blocked the latest package of anti-Russian sanctions until the Commission gave written assurances about supplying his country with gas.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Fico stressed that as long as he governs Slovakia, Ukraine will not be admitted to NATO. And, for the first time in decades of NATO\u2019s relentless expansion, he raised the issue of Slovakia\u2019s potential withdrawal from the Atlantic Alliance.<\/p>\n

All this, mind you, is happening as figures from the historic SPD, the German Social Democratic Party, oppose the policies of the \u201cjet-black\u201d [CDU] admirer of his Hitler-loving grandfather, German Chancellor Merz, who\u2014with the deployment of Taurus missiles to Kyiv and Germany\u2019s massive rearmament program\u2014threatens, at the very least, to destroy what remains of the German and European welfare state and, at worst, to contribute to the nuclear annihilation of the human species.<\/p>\n

Even the S\u00e1nchez government, a coalition of left-wing parties in Spain, has now also revolted against Trump\u2019s insane demands for 5% \u201cdefense\u201d spending, provoking the fury of the deranged American president, who threatened Madrid with\u2014what else? \u2014tariffs on its products.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how the Vice-President of the ruling Smer party and MEP \u013dubo\u0161 Blaha summarized Prime Minister Fico\u2019s positions on Slovak neutrality (and also the issue of \u201ctwo genders\u201d) in a Twitter post:<\/p>\n

YES, MR. PRIME MINISTER, SLOVAKIA WILL CHOOSE NEUTRALITY (\u013dubo\u0161 Blaha<\/a>)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prime Minister Robert Fico today touched the hearts of most Slovaks, who believe in the values of peace and are tired of militarization.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. According to surveys presented by PM Fico in Parliament, up to 49.8% of Slovak citizens want Slovakia to be neutral, while only 40% want it to remain part of a military alliance.<\/li>\n
  2. \u201cWe hear that as a neutral country; we\u2019d have to spend much more on the military. Yes, of course. Neutral Austria spends 1% of GDP, and neutral Ireland spends 0.22%. Yet NATO demands 5% from us. But sure, keep talking, sunshine,\u201d<\/em>the Prime Minister shot back at the pro-NATO opposition in Parliament.<\/li>\n
  3. The truth is, the West is pushing us into war against Russia. It forces us to increase military spending to one-fifth of the budget. It may even drag us into war against Iran.<\/li>\n
  4. Russia is \u201cat fault\u201d because the Western world wanted to expand militarily to its borders. Iran is \u201cat fault\u201d because Israel bombed it and killed its military leadership<\/li>\n
  5. But of course, the PS puppets will keep crawling without reservations before Brussels and Western powers. And when the West says we\u2019ll have 76 genders, they\u2019ll enforce it 100%.<\/li>\n
  6. Their twisted arguments in the parliamentary debate on constitutional changes confirmed they\u2019ll approve any nonsense coming from the West. Even [former EU official] Hugyer had more spine than these submissives.<\/li>\n
  7. \u0160ime\u010dka shouts that it\u2019s a scandal the PM even raised the issue of neutrality. So, 49.8% of Slovaks are a scandal\u2014is that what \u0160ime\u010dka means?<\/li>\n
  8. No, Mr. \u0160ime\u010dka,\u00a0you<\/em>are the scandal! You want to disarm Slovakia to death. You want to send our children to war. You want to turn us into an American colony.<\/li>\n
  9. You\u2019re even bothered that Slovakia must have two genders\u2014men and women. Your Plav\u00e1kov\u00e1 screamed today that this undermines democracy and leans toward Russia.<\/li>\n
  10. \u201cHaving a normal family undermines democracy? Have you lost your minds? Are mom and dad Russian propaganda? Seriously, guys? You\u2019re sick!\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n
  11. PS and SaS openly threatened KDH in Parliament that they\u2019d end cooperation if it keeps honoring Christian values. Kol\u00edkov\u00e1 is already acting like a mobster.<\/li>\n
  12. KDH should think about whether it wants to end up as a bullied branch of PS and SaS. Franti\u0161ek Majersk\u00fd has already decided\u2014who cares about Christianity as long as he\u2019s a star in Denn\u00edk N?<\/li>\n
  13. The greatest paradox is that we\u2019re not fighting for this out of conservative principle. It\u2019s about absolutely normal common sense and family.<\/li>\n
  14. Surveys show an overwhelming majority of Slovaks support the constitutional change. Not because they\u2019re conservative\u2014because they\u2019re normal.<\/li>\n
  15. To believe in family, for God\u2019s sake, you don\u2019t need to be conservative. You just shouldn\u2019t be a so-called \u2018progressive\u2019 or extremist like \u0160ime\u010dka and Plav\u00e1kov\u00e1.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <\/div>\n

    Robert Fico said it today on behalf of all of us\u2014Slovakia would benefit from military neutrality.<\/p>\n

    Peace. Normality. And common sense.<\/p>\n
