News / Building regional alliance to stabilize Eastern Europe. [236]
Basically Intermarium minus smaller countries, plus Germany, two Scandinavian countries and Turkey.
Germany is too big (as usual, too big for Europe too small for the world) and would eventually tend towards dominating the alliance economically and politically, the way they dominate the EU. Not a good idea.
Turkey would introduce instability to the alliance, with their military coups, constant tension between lay and religious parties and eternal conflict with Greece, another NATO member. Not a good idea.
Sweden and Finland, OK - they might prove useful.
If we really want to have a strong block within the EU, then smaller countries like Czechia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia have to be included too, but then we are back at Intermarium, so what's the difference?
