There was A LOT of backstabbing in the beginning regarding medical supplies. Landlocked countries got screwed in transit. Even Red Cross aid was confiscated.
Thankfully the panic only lasted about one two weeks or something.
- jopsen 4y agoYeah, collaboration around covid was perhaps a bit easier to force, because no country could do a vaccine on its own (including production, packaging, etc). But in this case Sweden and Norway probably could do electricity without supplies from the European grid. But they might not want to be as unreliable partners as Russia turned out to be... If you void contracts and begin backstabbing when things get hard, people won't trust you in the future.
