Lithuania, Poland, and France prep for the Suwalki squeeze

Original version ·

The NATO neighbors are heading to the Suwalki Corridor for a new drill, just to make sure nobody gets any funny ideas about cutting off the Baltics.

It is that time again. Lithuania, Poland, and France are dragging their gear out to the Suwalki Corridor for an exercise called Brave Griffin. They are basically spending the week playing tag with infantry units to make sure everyone knows how to move in sync.

This strip of land is the ultimate nightmare scenario for NATO planners. It is barely 100 kilometers wide, sitting right between Kaliningrad and Belarus. If things go sideways, this is the first place that would get pinched, leaving the Baltics effectively stranded.

The alliance is done hoping for the best, so they are treating this spot like the most expensive piece of real estate on the map. Practicing how to keep a bottleneck open is officially the new normal.

Nothing says peace like a bunch of tanks hanging out in a field waiting for someone to try their luck.
