Russia Says NATO Nations Could Be 'Legitimate Military Targets'
Newsweak via MSN ^ | 12/14/2022 | Story by Isabel van Brugen

ormer Russian President Dmitry Medvedev suggested on Friday that members of the NATO military alliance providing Ukraine with assistance could be "legitimate military targets."

In a lengthy statement on his Telegram channel, Medvedev, who is deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, questioned whether the delivery of weapons to Ukraine by NATO nations could be viewed as an attack on his country.

Today...the main question is whether the hybrid war de facto declared on our country by NATO can be considered to be the alliance's entry into war with Russia? Is it possible to view the delivery of a large volume of weapons to Ukraine as an attack on Russia?" he wrote.

"The leaders of NATO countries keep unanimously squawking that their countries and the entire bloc are not at war with Russia," Medvedev continued. "Yet, everyone is well aware that this is not the case."

But Russia's invasion and attempted conquest of Ukraine is a 'special military operation'. Got it.

I agree, but it would be a strategic blunder to widen the war unless Russia can bring in other nations on its side.

Considering that the US now ADMITS to giving the Ukrainians targeting information for attacks deep inside Russia, this statement seems only reasonable.

The funny part is trying to figure out how NATO will defend itself against Russia, now that virtually all of its ground-based weapons have been disposed of in Ukraine.

If you bring your army home this all goes away, Ivan.

It really is that simple.

Wait until the Russian Federation breaks into 5 different nuclear armed states run by warlords.

Enjoy the suck.

Only the simple-minded believe such a ridiculous claim.

putin/russia should really think this through

do they really want a war with NATO when they can’t defeat Ukraine, a bunch of farmers and musicians, in 10 months?

This is standard Soviet-style bluff, waiting for western concessions and kowtowing.

Hopefully we’ve learned to finally ignore these cheap posturing gestures.

Yep. Nothing new under the Soviet sun. This is a stage cue for the Kremlin’s useful idiots in the west to do their marionette routine.

Add that to this list for reasons for the US to be out of the UN and the UN out of the US. I’ve never given two craps about the UN. They manage to eff up everything they do, often times at the request of leftist globalists from the US

No, the funny part is seeing people like you think this is the best NATO can give. The west is giving Ukraine 30-40-50 old military tech. No tanks, no aircraft, etc. It’s the stuff at the depot about to destroyed. Yet still Ukrainian farmers and miners smash the Potemkin Russian army into little pieces. Those are the facts at hand. Ignore them if you wish.
