Western media calls Baltic Sea „NATO lake“ after summit in Vilnius
By Lucas Leiroz, journalist, researcher at the Center for Geostrategic Studies, geopolitical consultant.
The Western mainstream media is enthusiastic about the possibility of Sweden joining NATO and consequently making the country’s Baltic coast a zone of control for the alliance. Analysts are saying that the West’s moves in Vilnius have made the Baltic Sea a „NATO lake“. The words are bold and somewhat inaccurate, as they do not seem to adequately echo the actual strategic situation in the region.
