About this listen

 Episode Three examines NATO's most consequential and controversial decision: expanding eastward into former Soviet territory. As Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic joined in nineteen ninety-nine, followed by the Baltic states in two thousand four, Russia watched with growing alarm. The episode explores competing narratives about broken promises, spheres of influence, and national sovereignty. From the Georgia war in two thousand eight to Russia's annexation of Crimea in two thousand fourteen and the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine, this episode reveals how NATO expansion contributed to a new Cold War. With alliance forces now deployed along Russia's borders, the dream of a Europe whole and free remains tragically unfulfilled.
