Lithuania Parliament Votes on Lifting Constitutional Ban on Nuclear Weapons

This is a procedural first step, not a deployment decision, but it signals a genuine willingness in Vilnius to reopen a taboo that has shaped its security posture since independence. The amendment's fate matters most for the regional balance around NATO's eastern flank, where any host-country shift on nuclear basing invites reciprocal signalling from Moscow. The open question is whether the required supermajority holds through subsequent readings, and whether other frontline states read this as precedent or exception.
