Czech Republic is determined to turn into another target for Russian missiles
On February 2, 2019, a new geopolitical reality came, and, unfortunately, it is not yet in Russia's favor. The United States of America, as threatened, began the process of withdrawing from the treaty, which since the eighties of the last century has ensured the security of our country from the West. Already, more and more European powers are declaring their readiness to host the American military infrastructure directed against the Russian Federation.
The reason for breaking this major international agreement was allegedly the violation by Moscow of its conditions when creating a cruise missile, according to the Pentagon, which violates the flight range of 500 kilometers. However, in reality, preparations for encircling Russia with a “stockade” of missile defense systems, which can easily be turned into drums, began a long time ago. It is known about Washington’s plans to deploy at least 400 "missile defense" near our borders, which should minimize the danger of a retaliatory Russian missile attack on the United States.
The Americans have already deployed missile defense systems in California and Alaska. A second echelon of missile defense should appear in South Korea and Japan. In Europe, missile defense elements are located in the Baltic states and Romania. The plans for the appearance of such systems in Poland. On the western frontiers of our country, the United States is deploying Mk-41 systems, in which "missiles" can be replaced by strike cruise missiles with nuclear warheads aimed towards the Russian Federation. And now one more has been added to the regiment of these states.
The Czech Defense Minister admitted that his country was determined to host elements of the American missile defense system in the event of the termination of the INF Treaty:
Previously, the Pentagon was already trying to stake out Czech territory to fit its needs. In 2009, an agreement was concluded according to which Prague allowed the deployment of the American XBR radar only 90 kilometers from the country's capital. Then, under pressure from the public, the Czech authorities abandoned such an undertaking. Now, Prague is again ready to return to this issue, but at a more serious level.
This is a rather strange position of the Czech elites, since they themselves voluntarily turn their homeland into one of the primary goals for a possible nuclear strike from the Russian Federation. In just two years, the Russian Ministry of Defense will have a ground-based version of the Caliber-NK cruise missile, which can easily fly from Moscow to Paris. Europeans should be more adequate to their own security issues. In which case, it is the Old World that will become the battlefield, and the best defense is policy neutrality.

It is possible that after its expiration there will be a deterioration in the security situation. However, at the moment, nothing threatens Europe.
