  • NATO Expansion and Russia

    NATO Expansion and Russia
    2025/10/06
    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.

  • NATO Cold War to Kosovo

    NATO Cold War to Kosovo
    2025/10/06
    Episode Two follows NATO through four decades of nuclear brinkmanship and its dramatic transformation in the nineteen nineties. From the Cuban Missile Crisis to the Berlin Wall, the alliance maintained an uneasy peace through mutually assured destruction and massive military buildups. When the Soviet Union collapsed, NATO faced an existential question: what now? The answer came in the Balkans, where ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and Kosovo pulled the alliance into its first combat missions. Through Operation Deliberate Force and the controversial bombing of Yugoslavia, NATO evolved from regional defense pact to interventionist force, establishing precedents for humanitarian warfare that would reshape international relations and spark fierce debate about sovereignty.

  • NATO Birth of the Alliance

    NATO Birth of the Alliance
    2025/10/06
    Episode One explores NATO's origins in the devastated landscape of post-World War Two Europe. As the Soviet Union tightened its grip on Eastern Europe and the Iron Curtain descended across the continent, war-weary Western democracies faced a critical choice: stand together or risk falling separately. The episode traces the path from the Berlin Blockade to the signing of the Washington Treaty in April nineteen forty-nine, examining how twelve nations created an unprecedented peacetime alliance built on collective defense. From Article Five's promise that an attack on one means an attack on all, to early Cold War tensions and France's dramatic withdrawal from military command, this episode reveals how NATO became both shield and political instrument.
