How is NATO’s eastern flank navigating an uncertain era?
In this special episode of Global Power Shifts, Suzanne Kianpour and Jim Stenman sit down with Lithuania’s former Foreign Minister, Gabrielius Landsbergis, to explore how a small nation on NATO’s eastern flank is navigating an uncertain era.
Born under Soviet occupation and shaped by his family’s role in Lithuania’s fight for independence, Landsbergis guides us through:
The echo of Kremlin tanks rolling through Vilnius — and the enduring lessons of that history
Russia’s war in Ukraine as a true wake-up call, and how the Baltics are shoring up resilience
The future of NATO under Trump 2.0 — can Article 5 still deter aggression?
Europe’s Western-centric blind spots, the EU’s eastern dimension, and whether Brussels can adapt before it’s too late
Tune in to discover why the Baltics matter for us all — and what’s at stake if NATO fails to uphold the post-Cold War security order. If you enjoy the episode, please leave us a review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts — it makes a world of difference.
