The Baltic Sea port city of Kaliningrad, the seat of a sovereign exclave of the Russian Federation between Lithuania and Poland, in the Russian oblast (administrative region) bearing its name, has been a fortress since its founding as Konigsberg in 1255. The Soviet Union’s Red Army captured it from the Germans in April 1945 in one of the last combat operations in East Prussia.

It is the only land route for NATO forces to reach Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Control of this corridor could isolate the Baltic states and create a fait accompli, forcing NATO into a high-risk decision: escalate or accept defeat.

II. Russian Objectives

French President Emmanuel Macron I will recognize the Palestinian state along with Australia, Belgium, Canada, Malta, Portugal and the United Kingdom. Mexico, Ireland, Spain, Norway, and Slovenia  did so in 2024.

Some countries will me an outright recognition of a Palestinian state and others will make pledge toward implementing it as part of a two-state solution to the conflict. Currently 147 of the U.N.’s 193 member states recognize an independent Palestinian state.

During the four years that Donald Trump serves his second term as president, real estate developers will be working on planning, building and opening a total of 21 Trump-branded projects around the globe. In ten foreign countries, these developers will seek subcontractors, buyers and permits from the government, creating massive conflicts of interest for Trump, as he weighs American foreign policy against his own financial incentives.
