On NATO expansion and the end of neutrality
[Patreon Exclusive - for the full episode, sign up @ patreon.com/bungacast]
Lily Lynch is back on the pod to talk about Northern and Eastern Europe and growing hawkishness. We discuss:
-
Why did Sweden and Finland give up decades of neutrality - and why now?
-
What happens with an enlarged alliance in light of the conflict in Ukraine?
-
How does the current moment compare to the apogee of the Non-Aligned Movement?
-
Why were the realists right?
-
How is tech mythology helping to build 'digital nationalism'?
-
Why is there beef over grain between Poland and Ukraine?
-
And what the hell are the "skin suit of social democracy" and the "Waluigi of neutrality"?
