NATO responsible for security of Baltic nations

NATO - Baltic Nations



Russia is a huge country when compared to Ukraine and also has a strong military which ranks among the top three of the world and hence it was obvious that it would be a way stronger force on Ukraine.

Moscow’s this act has raised a lot of concerns on the safety and security of the Baltic nations. They have extremely small territories with minimum military presence and hence the onus is on NATO to ensure they are safe and secure especially in context to the latest events in Europe.

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are extremely prone to attack. Even though these three nations are at extremely different positions when compared to that of Ukraine, at the same time, Russian aggression has been immensely growing in recent years and that essentially puts them in danger.

Baltic nations themselves raised the concerns due to the heightened security issues in the region in relation to the ground realities of what is happening in Ukraine. These three nations witnessed Russia’s invasion of Crimea in 2014.

It started off with the Donbas region and announced independence of Luhansk and Donetsk and then one sudden day announced invasion of the tiny country. This insecurity also dates back to 1940 when there was similar treatment from Russia’s side and these nations were put at risk due to greed.

A report confirmed that ‘Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians were then subjected to Moscow’s political, economic, and cultural control until the Soviet Union collapsed in 1992.’

Another threat that these nations face are of the democratic structure. They have for years tried to protect their democratic, sovereign culture but given the aggression of Russia, there might be chances when they may have to give up on those values. Hence, NATO involvement becomes all the more crucial.

India,China hanging by the cliff, Can they afford a trade war?

India and China are barely holding on their own but what will happen if these countries go on a trade war? Indian has already banned 51 of chinese applications. The picture of a full blown trade war does not look nice. The deadly broder battle between both the countries last month has left the countries sour and has led to taking some drastic measures from both the ends. While India took an aggressive stance against China, the most populous country seems to be in no mood for retaliation. Chinese officials last week said that they were "strongly concerned" about the app ban, for example, but they did not threaten any kind of retaliation. And on Friday, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the two countries should work together, adding that barriers to cooperation "will harm India's interests." But given the interests of both the countries in line, India has more to lose. China has been a critical tarde partner for India and as of last
