Although here we have to differentiate, because Romania and Bulgaria seem to mind their own business, the Baltics are terrified of Russia, but seem incapable of driving any kind of policy, Hungary’s interested in what’s best for them and Poland’s the same but additionally also partly hostile towards Germany.
- yrgulation 4y ago> Germany and EE (which btw does not include Russia) are economical allies first and foremost, but have different geopolitical concerns and goals. Is it that germany’s geopolitical concerns are different because turning a blind eye would weaken east europe, thus making it perpetually dependent on the former? Or because Poland, Ukraine and Romania with a combined population of 100 mil, and 1.4 trillion USD economy would pose serious opposition to both germany and russia in east europe? I imagine the voting power within the eu and the economic bargaining power would pose quite the issue. I am confused as to why a would be ally and a would be moral high ground country would suddenly be less interested in events happening in its own backyard. Also, Romania is pretty active in the area, but less vocal. Likely on stand by for an invasion of Moldavia, but its most certainly helping ukraine a great deal. Just because its not making news headlines it doesnt mean its not helping and under no circumstances is it a friend of russia. Unlike poland, it already had a proxy war with it in the 90s over transnistria. Cautious politics and statements are wise. Again, an interesting comment, this time pairing romania with bulgaria as if the two are identical. Edit: removed clutter and nonsense.
