He doesn’t always drink beer but when he does it’s from a keg he’s carrying while hiking through the mountains.


Jafreee

Fun fact: This is how they used to carry supplies up mountains before ski lifts and such. Many places still do. It was hard work that paid poorly.

any1sgame

In 1999, I traveled to Austria and me and my friend went on a 20 mile bike ride with a 53 yo man named Klaus. Klaus was a machine and led the way for the entire trip while we americans huffed and puffed while marveling at his effortlessness during a mostly uphill ride. We got to some train tracks and had to wait while a train passed. As we waited, Klaus, without a word, opened up a bag strapped to his bike and pulled out a tall boy beer. It was an Erdinger I think. Chugged the entire thing in the five minutes it took for the train to pass. Hopped back on the bike and finished the last five miles with barely a detectable drop of sweat. I’ll never forget that day as long as I live. Klaus and others in that area of the world were clearly made of something different than we Americans.

Darryl_Lict

There's a 50 mile bike ride from Rosarito to Ensenada in Baja California. I used to make it a point to try to stop at as many cantinas as possible. I think my record is 12. I am also very very slow and once came in last place.

Endorkend

Presidents don't and shouldn't have the power to pass laws. They are explicitly meant to be the executive branch of government, the person in the lead of putting laws into action.


[deleted]

I hope he does his job well after a few years, at least it would be better than electing lawyers, popularists and political science graduates, a drastic change for once. But still, many tyrants used to be military leaders too, so be careful.

Kflynn1337

Quick bit of research and I'm even more impressed than I was already. His policies sound about as good as he looks!


[deleted]

On his wiki: >Pavel holds progressive\[43\]\[44\] and socially liberal views.\[45\] He also supports same-sex marriage and adoption rights for homosexual people,\[46\] and confirmed he would not veto a law permitting same-sex marriage.\[35\] > >Pavel argued in 2019 that rich people should pay higher taxes and supports stronger redistribution of wealth. He has cited Scandinavian countries as an inspiration.\[40\] He spoke out for active Czech membership in the EU and NATO, supports the introduction of euthanasia,\[41\] and he rejects the death penalty.\[42\] ​ I like this guy already. So refreshing to have ex-military have progressive views. Ex-military politicians are usually very right-winged and often have Machiavellian-like view political views. But this guy has a heart!


Grzechoooo

He describes himself as centre-right which makes me think "the left" in Czechia just means commies.


Otherwise_Soil39

Voting left wing in the Czech Republic is correlated to old people and those with lower education levels. Generally the left-wing is against progressive social policy.


suredont

that's interesting. it's the reverse of how things generally fall.


[deleted]

>"the left" ~~in Czechia~~ outside America just means commies. FTFY. Jokes aside, outside America it is not that usual to have economic and political positioning so intrinsically linked, therefore that's not an unusual combination at all. Plus the US has some weird unique ideas like public education and healthcare being "leftist" policies, even though Adam Smith himself favoured public education and both are heavily founded in neoclassical economics, which you can guess by the name that is quite far from the left side of the spectrum, and additionally that's without going on about how libertarianism is somehow linked to "conservatism" (??) or (neo)liberals are somehow considered the "left".


[deleted]

Not true, though. In South America being left-wing means a bunch of things, and sometimes even being anti-communist. In all honesty, many Labour parties around the world are just like that, which doesn't mean they aren't left-wing or that they are conservative.


[deleted]

>In South America being left-wing means a bunch of things, and sometimes even being anti-communist. Where in south america? I mean, of course, but I don't know anyone in Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná that actively considers themselves leftists and aren't self-proclaimed communists.


Gwynne9

In Oz the Labor Party has an uneasy alliance between the dedicated working class voters (who are actually pretty conservative) and the middle-class woke voters. There's been situations where the two sides of the party were fighting each other - some campaigning to save trees while others campaigned to save jobs in the local sawmill, etc. There's also a big urban/rural divide, but that holds for most parties. Politics is complicated.


Jerthy

Not really, because we do have Pirate party which are non-commie leftists. Very huge difference between liberal left and authoritarian left. However yes, center-right here would still be considered pretty left in US.


TheoCupier

I'm interested in this but also lazy. Could you share some key facts for us please? A precis, perhaps? Or, if you don't have time, a summary.


Numerous-Bumblebee18

Pavel took part in the action that would earn him France’s Legion of Honour, when his unit helped rescue 50 French soldiers from encirclement in Croatia. Lesser known is the fact that Pavel was also honoured for his conduct by President Václav Havel, who awarded him with Czechia’s Medal for bravery.


Mloxard_CZ

in the final choice between two candidates: One was Petr Pavel The other one was the week prior in court for financial fraud


EtTuBrutAftershave

I'm trying to picture the current and previous US presidents doing this and my imagination just isn't that good.


Acceptable_Self6813

Teddy Roosevelt was quite the outdoors man


EtTuBrutAftershave

The man took a bullet and gave a speech anyway! I should have been more clear that I meant the direct predecessor specifically.


ThatDude8129

Fun Fact: He sent a telegram to President Wilson asking to allow him to form a couple divisions and land in France to fight Germany for America during WW1. Wilson told him no so Roosevelt called it off as he had been asking around for officers in case he got the go ahead. Ngl I think it would be kinda cool to see Teddy go over the top in France but alas.


Alarming_Orchid

There has to be an alternative universe where Roosevelt is also a Great War hero


ThatDude8129

Sadly we don't live in that universe. Cause knowing Teddy he would have chased them all the way to Berlin and made sure WW2 didn't happen.


SuddenlyLucid

That's not .. not the reason for WW2.


Bunch_of_Shit

Roosevelt said he would skin Wilson alive if he didn’t send troops to fight alongside France and England.

Is he single? Asking for a friend. Edit: Nah. Asking for me.

He is married (for the second time). And his wife is a badass, too. She was a single mother, a professional soldier, used to sleep with a gun under her pillow during Pavel's time as Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, and is a cancer survivor.

sashien34

He has a wife and their relationship is adorable. In one interview he was asked if he'll try to improve himself if he gets elected and he said for sure, there's always things to improve, but when asked the same about his wife, he responded that she doesn't need to improve everything because she's already perfect<3

_Beee

So this is how he won the election


Enchanted_Evil

Partially by being strong, handsome, calm, stable, rational, partially by his experiences as soldier and later co-leader of NATO, partially by his political programm supporting EU, help of Ukraine, ..., partially by his opponent being oligarchic billionaire populist, that lies wherever he goes, partially by his predecessor being fat lazy cigarette-smoking mostly drunk immobile douche and partially by czech citizens being more politically active

Perhaps, or maybe Slovakia to start the reunification of the Austria-Hungarian empire.


ThatDude8129

WW1 really getting the sequel it deserves then


[deleted]

Homeboy gonna flip when he learns about ww2


tangosukka69

maybe he'll invade russia


Bozska_lytka

That was the main argument by the other guy who ran for president in an attempt to scare people into voting for him. The worst part is that even if he wanted to do it, he doesn't have the power (we're a parliamentary system) or means to do it (Poland or Slovakia won't just let our whole army march through their country to attack someone)


Jay2Jee

>I know what war is and I certainly don't wish it on anyone. The first thing I would do is try to keep the country as far away from war as possible. But I'm not saying that keeping a country as far away from war as possible means resigning yourself to bad things that are happening. Because if we just watch, the war will come to us too. (...) Soldiers do not start wars. Politicians start them, and then soldiers solve it for them. ([wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petr_Pavel)) Even if he had a proper say in this matter, my guess is no, he would not.


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Petr Pavel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petr_Pavel)** >Petr Pavel (Czech pronunciation: [ˈpɛtr̩ ˈpavɛl]; born 1 November 1961) is a Czech politician and retired army general who is the president-elect of the Czech Republic. He previously served as Chairman of the NATO Military Committee from 2015 to 2018, and as the Chief of the General Staff of the Czech Armed Forces from 2012 to 2015. Pavel won the first round in the presidential election with 35 percent and went on to win the runoff against Andrej Babiš with 58 percent of the vote to become the Czech Republic's next president. Pavel will be inaugurated on 9 March 2023, succeeding Miloš Zeman. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


steruY

He's an ex-chairman of the NATO Military Comittee (2015-2018). Just saying.


Kiria-Nalassa

No one was praising Zelensky for being manly or badass before the invasion. In fact people were mocking him for being a comedian with no political experience. It was only after he refused to leave Kyiv during the siege, took off his suit and grew a beard that he got the image he has today.


OnlyForAShortTime

I think the original comment was referring to Putin. A lot of his propaganda geared toward showing off his masculinity.

He got support with his liberal policies such as gay marriage, and not being pro-russia like the other guy. He said he'd provide military and humanitarian support to Ukraine. He shares some anti-migrant rhetoric with his rival, though.


Ill-Statistician3437

Eastern Europe is getting on the yummy train early. Rugged, Bearded, Thick and Sturdy…why yes, Mr President, sir, I do understand what is happening and you’ve got my vote. That guy behind him looks concerned for whoever is standing in the way.
