Facing Coming Storms #10: The Baltics at the Crossroads of History
Episode description: In this episode of Facing Coming Storms, we explore the Baltic states — Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia — as NATO’s frontline amid Russia’s growing shadow.
Joined by Oliver Moody, Liis Mure, Aliide Naylor, and George Barros, we unpack the region’s turbulent history, current defences and the human stakes. From Soviet echoes to NATO drones, we explore how these nations face a resurgent Russia, with insights on military shifts, societal resolve and the looming global flashpoint.
