If there were to be an armed showdown between NATO and Russia, one of the most likely locations would be Lithuania. It's something many Lithuanians dread, particularly those who remember the days when the country was under Russian control.
Now with unrest in neighbouring Belarus, this geopolitical tinderbox is heating up. If Russia were to invade the Baltics, NATO would have to respond - and the repercussions would shake the world.
In this episode:
Colonel Eric LaForest, stationed in the Baltics; Valdas Rakutis, Lithuanian military historian; and Casey Michel, writer, analyst, and investigative journalist.
