YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In recent weeks, Belarus has been causing a mass migration crisis along the borders of Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia. It is one of the most severe security threats Europe has faced in a few years. Alyaksandr Lukashenka, the Belarusian president, is weaponizing immigration with Russia’s support to retaliate against European Union sanctions imposed on Belarus this past year. Minsk is flying Arab migrants into Belarus and pushing them toward the borders of these NATO member nations, but these nations will not allow the migrants through. Besides the migration crisis, Belarus is growing ever so closer to Russia, posing a threat to the NATO alliance. How will these escalating issues affect European security and the NATO alliance in the weeks and months ahead?
