Petr is Captain-Europa you can't change my mind. This absolute chad of a man was an army GENERAL and also worked as Chairman of the NATO Military committee. He is now president of a European country and it looks like he's the right person for the job to coordinate and implement the new defence-strategy for the whole EU. We need more people like him.

He's also called for more blanket surveillance of Russian passport holders in the West.

Becareful praising a strongman when he speaks against your enemies brashfully. Today he is your friend, tommorow you might find yourself amongst his list of enemies.
