    There is no such thing as an “Eastern European bloc”. There is only “Russia” and “countries running away from Russia”.

        I deny that the Warsaw Pact exists right now, if that’s what you mean. You might as well argue that the Roman Empire is in decline right now.

        I also deny that the Warsaw Pact benefited its member countries. After all, it was the only defensive alliance that invaded its own members.
