There are many conflicting interests in Europe.
At the outset of the creation of the euro in 1999, it was expected that the southern eurozone economies would behave like those in the north; the Italians would behave like Germans. They didn't.

Building up the arms did not cause the fall of Eastern Europe.
Vienna is the gate to Eastern Europe.
