Putin Has "Every Right" to Strike NATO Weapons Plants, Ex-US Judge Claims
Former US judge Andrew Napolitano says Russian President Vladimir Putin has shown an “almost saint-like capacity for patience and forbearance” by refraining from striking weapons and munitions facilities in NATO countries that supply arms used by Ukraine. ● Speaking to RT, Napolitano argued that Russia would have a right under international law to target military facilities involved in producing weapons used against Russian territory, while stressing that Putin “does not want a war against NATO.” ● His comments come amid continued Ukrainian drone strikes deep inside Russia and growing Western involvement in supplying weapons to Ukraine. ● Napolitano also warned that the Ukraine conflict is heading towards an “acceleration” and predicted a “last-ditch effort” by some NATO countries to prevent what he described as the Russian military achieving its objectives. ● Watch the full video for the latest analysis on Russia, Ukraine and the risk of further escalation between Moscow and NATO.
