Are Poles aware of Thracian aspect in original roots of Polish ethos? [69]
Crow your idea sounds cool but remember one very important thing. All east of Poland is VERY hype on not letting Poland gain too much control on them or any form of taking over!
That's why I am more interested in the plan Torq came up with
1. Also it's only with Poland's help that Austria may unify themselves with Germany, since Poland was one of the biggest wounded countries after ww2 nobody would proclaim that Poland wants some grand unification of all Germans so that they will want to conquer all of Europe.
2. Although Czechs and Slovaks have animosities towards Poland because of München treaty and the commie invasion they may be some difficulties BUT they were never occupied in that sense that Poles governed them (in the meaning that they remember it and what kind of effect it gave them)
3. As Germany-Austria-Hungary have history of co-operating with each other they would with no problems add Poland into it, the only problem is that some countries may look at it as Germany+ Austria-Hungarian empires right before ww1, not only superpowers but Czechs and Slovaks too (especially Serbia when thinking of Crow :))
4. If it would been possible I would like to add Denmark into it if they would agree because then that alliance would not only have control of central Europe and most of the traffic between Western - Eastern Europe but also controlling the Baltic sea which would at least make Sweden and the Baltic states (maybe even Russia) to be friendly towards us. (also having an agreement with Italy about travel etc and passing through, the influence would reach far
5. It will be essential to not include any minor Balkan state to it since if in case of conflict the Balkan state will most probably go to war and since the alliance is complete we would have to help that country. Which wouldn't been any positive towards any of the alliance's members.
6. Then it is a problem, energy. Will we focus on oil from Russia (if we will have Denmark and good relations with Russia I would strongly push towards Russian oil as it's also one of the cheapest no?) Although having oil from UK and Norway it would lead to trade and maybe good relations with those two nations and having some form of protection from them (voting against isolation of our alliance if it would happen and speak on our behalf in their relations)
7. Although Kaliningrad would be an problem as to if Germany would want it or if it should been incorporated into Poland for a sum of money (cause some kind of war over it is ridiculous) or was the idea of an Poland-Lithuania kind of state, Swedish-Norwegian union or more of a Russian federation or kind of like EU? (to Torq)
