A geopolitical study of the nations that border the Baltic, overshadowed throughout by the threat to them all of invasion from Russia and how they are preparing for that eventuality. Hard to think of a more serious read. Reinforced my belief in NATO as an absolutely necessary alliance to hold the west together and the need for free nations to stand united. Amongst it all, one insight I took away was that as long as the war in Ukraine continues, the chance of Russia extending the conflict to the Baltic is unlikely, but if a ceasefire is reached and Russia has chance to regroup, it could be on. Also, interesting to hear that the military power of Poland and Finland (for example) would appear stronger and more battle-ready than the UK, France or Germany, let alone smaller western states
