This is a right action if you are going to use some unknown and depersonalized country/nation as a condom for your own safety. You have to agree that it could be a bit more difficult for the Americans to accept what their government is going to do with Czechs if they'd know more about that country and people who live there. Right now Americans think of Czechia Republic (I even not sure if many of them know what Czechia is an independent republic, but not Czechoslovakia anymore) as some piece of Europe far far away populated by some unknown (perhaps barbarian) people.
