Analysis: West is full of mistrust now and will either fall into war or highly defensive and complicated positions, being utterly impotent to move against the Eastern bloc. Even though the eastern bloc is kinda slow as well due to the safe standard openings by all the eastern countries, east still has potential for fast proggression unlike the west.
---> Russia benefited the most from the French Suprise. Russia will not be attacked in the North for some time now, giving him more time to build an alliance (juggernaut?) in the east.
West: please calm down, we need to build some trust to regain our momentum vs. the Eastern bloc.
East: please contest Russia as much as possible.
