Czech - US Relations during Rising Tensions and Conflict in the East

While the US and the Czech Republic have seen their bi-lateral trade/investment treaties bearing peaceful fruit, an alternative reality in Eastern Europe has Russia threatening the specter of nuclear weapons as a coercive threat for the first time since the October 1962 Cuban Crisis, 60 years ago. Bear in mind that only its neighboring state, Slovakia, separates the Czech Republic from Ukraine, Russia’s implied threat. What direction does the nuclear wind blow???

Please join us as Miloslav Stašek, Czech ambassador to the US, explores the topic "Czech - US Relations During Rising Tensions and Conflict in the East".
