“....There should instead be an Eastern European alliance block of Baltic and Balkan states, and also Poland and Hungary. Maybe call it something unpronounceable to westerners and written in Cyrillic letters, and keep it under the radar.....”

Absolutely !!!!
NATO as constituted is obsolete! Something like this should be formed maybe even include the Central Europeans and the Scandinavian countries. A reformulated Atlantic alliance made up of actual Atlantic countries can be a friendly observer.
