A senior Russian lawmaker has declared that President Vladimir Putin is justified in targeting NATO nations aiding Ukraine, as tensions escalate over military support to Kyiv.

Andrey Kartapolov, head of the Russian State Duma's defense committee, said the supply of Western weapons enabling strikes on Russian territory gives Moscow "every right to strike military facilities in NATO countries" that assist Ukraine, according to Russian news agency TASS.

"Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has made a decision that we fully support," Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin stated on his Telegram channel. He described the move as "an appropriate and long-awaited response," adding that the U.S. and its European allies were "using missiles to strike Russian territory."

"Our country has the right to target military facilities of states that attack us," Volodin continued. "Despite Western claims that Russia will not dare to act, it will—and it has every right to do so," he asserted.

I hate saying this, but he’s kinda right. Reverse the roles.

That lawmaker is right.

NATO is the aggressor here.

NATO adjourns an emergency meeting 26 November, panic, panic about Vlads latest hypersonic ICBM’s he just used in Dnipro. The West has no defense against them…..lucky for the Ukies they had no payload- kinetic only - a message ( warning) to the brain dead West.

Maybe the brain dead collective West will start listening to Vlad.

You all know this well, if Russia didn’t invade another sovereign nation, they would not have this problem.
Eff you that think they are justified because of their fears.
I’m afraid of my Democrat neighbors, how would I be treated if I tried to stop some action that had I had fear of but had not occurred?
I’d be in jail or in an asylum.
Russia still wants an empire and their time is past.

You have the right to remain silent; few have the ability.

Putin might have the “right” to attack a NATO country, he doesn’t have the ability - at least not in a way that won’t get his shizpot dictatorship annihilated.

I am pretty sure that the US, China, France, and the UK also have ICBMs. Russia isn’t super magic land and this is kind of a desperate measure.

Nooooo. Russia attacked Ukraine; NATO did not attack Russia.

Tell your Putin to stop it with his silly nuke threats.
