Seems pointless for the Russians since Obama is going to throw the Czechs to the wolves anyways.

QuoteCzech Republic expels two Russian diplomats for alleged espionage
[18-08-2009 15:40 UTC] By Daniela Lazarová

The Czech Republic on Monday expelled two Russian diplomats for alleged espionage, provoking an angry reaction from Moscow. The move has put a further strain on bilateral relations already soured by US plans to build a radar base in the country as part of its missile defense shield.

The deputy military attaché of the Russian Embassy in Prague was ordered out of the country and another diplomat was advised not to return from holiday on suspicion that they worked for the Russian intelligence service. Officials in Prague were tight-lipped with neither the Intelligence Service, nor the Defense Ministry willing to comment. Citing unnamed sources, commercial TV NOVA reported that the Russian diplomats had allegedly tried to develop close ties with people from the Czech Defense Ministry and shown a particular interest in the planned construction of a US radar base on Czech soil. The plan, currently on hold pending a review by the Obama administration and due to stalled ratification by the Czech Parliament, has prompted an increase in Russian spying activity in the Czech Republic and attempts to influence the country against the radar. The first signs of this appeared in 2007 when the Czech Intelligence Service reported "a heightened activity of the Russian secret service in the country" saying that Russian agents had moved from a passive monitoring of the situation to active attempts to influence both officials and the public. In fact the intelligence service believes that of the 200 diplomats and employees working at the Russian embassy and consulates in Brno and Karlovy Vary up to two thirds are paid agents.

The Russian embassy in Prague has declined to comment on the reports but Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday denounced the expulsions as "another provocation" from Prague and an official of the Russian Foreign Ministry told the Russian ITAR-TASS news agency the Czech decision would not help the development of friendly relations between the two countries. As expected, on Tuesday Moscow retaliated by expelling two Czech diplomats from the country.

Back out on our promise to place ABM systems there.

I didn't think they were that crazy about them.  They wanted the Patriot batteries not the stupid ABM shit.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The Czechs are okay.  If the Russians took Poland, Hungary and the rest that would be nice.

The Czechs are pretty good for this.  Though some of those Hungarians aren't bad either.

I think the Czechs might be the hottest people on earth.  In Prague I was never more than 10 steps away from a pretty girl, and never more than 40 steps away from a jaw-droppingly beautiful one.  Fantastic city.
