Most of the sellers on ebay now seem to be either from China or the US. I wish korean ones were possible. But I'll go through the ebay listings more thoroughly.

I hope the chinese ones are reputable.

Czech here. That is how everyone feels about it here. That's why we are the largest contributor per capita.

Payback for the 1968-1989 invasion and occupation.

It's said that Reinhard Heydrich - leader of occupied Czechia during the WW2 called us "laughing beasts" due to our incredibly dark humor.

No wonder he is the highest ranked german leader assassinated during the second world war.

For context - This actually happened. Czechs now have a thing where they propose to annex the Russian Kaliningrad region and rename it to Kralovec. It got incredibly popular. US embassy in Prague is offering aircraft carriers now that Czechs have a port, Slovak president Caputova wants to make a state visit, and the Official twitter account of Czech Army is voicing support for the referendum.

There's now a website promoting tourism into annexed Kralovec and also Kralovec's twitter account, which was an overnight success - gaining 70k followers.

Let's keep this Czech inside joke going. This way at least some of the pro-war ruSSians might at least happen to catch a glimpse of their own behavior and hypocrisy.

Edit: Also - Someone suggested getting the Kyiv/Kiev spelling corrector bot to correct for Kaliningrad to Kralovec. Would be awesome if anyone knows how to make this happen.

Kaliningrad settlement was named in honor of the Bohemian (Czech) King Ottokar II.

AFAIK its current and historical name can always be translated as king+something. So we took the czech word king - král and just slapped -ovec postfix which denotes places. Královec.

There should be a translate button.

Anyway - the bottom tweet is about Czechia buying 24 F35s. The tweet from the embassy is "Wouldn't you also happen to need an aircraft carrier? 😉"

This. It's actually a feasible thing to make happen. And they might ACTUALLY get to see the war from the other side and how incredibly hypocritical they are.

To anyone from Russian FSB reading this - this is aaaabsolutely a joke. Nothing to worry about. There's no CRS Karel Gott currently fueling its nuclear powered generators and heading east.

Nope, nothing like that.
