TITLE: The Eastern Sea (Baltic) Militarized by Nato

DESCRIPTION: My talk will show how the Baltic States which were strongly influenced by Nazism during WWll haven´t discussed this nazi heritages or taken a stand against it in the way Germany has done. Both the USA and Germany are today strongly connected to these small countries and involved in their defence policies with military bases in each country . They are launching pads for war towards Russia. The Swedish military takes part in these exercises.
