A revitalized Europe that combats Russian and Turkish revisionism begins with Greece and Cyprus

In the wake of WWII, Europeans formed the Coal and Steel Community to break Germany’s monopoly over coal and steel and secure peace on the continent for nearly 80 years. This peace is at risk today as revisionist countries like Russia and Turkey look to use their monopolies on gas shipments to threaten, coerce and extort Europe, putting the post World War II rules-based order at risk.
