Autocracy in America Ep. 7: The View From NATO's Eastern Flank
Lithuania has become an outspoken defender of Ukraine against the Russian invasion
While I expect Ambassador John Bolton’s episode of Autocracy in America will be popular this weekend for some reason, the new Autocracy in America is an important one. My chess grandmaster and grandmaster-politician guest, Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen, speaks from the frontline of Russia's next war: Lithuania.
Lithuania is a beacon of democracy and resistance against Russian imperialism. Viktorija is former speaker of the Lithuanian legislature, as well as a chess grandmaster.
We discuss European defense in the Trump era and, yes, a little chess!
