How to Shock NATO: Resisting Western Warmongering | Tbilisi Forum
If you want to rally against NATO, you go neutral. That's the topic of our first panel: Can neutrality offer an alternative to NATO membership and military blocs? Pascal Lottaz, Heinz Gärtner, Sakari Linden and Petre Mamradze debate the historical lessons and practical challenges of staying outside great power conflicts. Drawing on Austria, Finland, Switzerland and Georgia, they examine sovereignty, foreign bases, economic relationships and diplomatic room for manoeuvre. Recorded at the Tbilisi Forum on Neutrality on November 5, 2026, this panel explores what neutrality could mean for Georgia and why its advocates challenge prevailing security assumptions.
