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"?
