Wewnątrz kontynentu na wielkiej Nizinie Środkowoeuropejskiej najkorzystniej położona była Francja. Z powodu takiego, a nie innego usytuowania Alp, które „kończą się” na francuskiej wschodniej granicy, Francja była jednocześnie krajem południa i północy Europy, mogąc oddziaływać na obu kierunkach geostrategicznych od czasów karolińskich aż do dnia dzisiejszego. Widać to zresztą również dzisiaj w decyzjach politycznych i negocjacjach prowadzonych w ramach Unii Europejskiej.

Within the continent, France was most advantageously situated, due to the location of the Alps, which “end” on France’s eastern border, making it simultaneously a country of the south and the north of Europe, able to influence both geostrategic directions from the Carolingian times to the present day, which can also be daily seen in political decisions and negotiations conducted within the European Union.

“I believe that what [the Russians] want to do is maintain situations of strategic geographic instability on their flanks, to their benefit … keeping Moldova destabilised, keeping tensions on the border, pretty much will help forestall any joining of NATO. They just do not want NATO that close to them.”
