>Russian politician Dmitry Medvedev said on Tuesday Russia could have a right to go to war with NATO.

>”If it is true – and there is no reason to doubt it is – then, this is a direct legally significant proof of the West’s complicity in the war against Russia. It is a refined casus belli, and for Russia, it is an opportunity to act within the jus ad bellum framework against each and every NATO country.”

>Part of just war theory, which was first developed in ancient Greece and is still used by some Christians today, casus belli is an act or situation that morally justifies conflict, with jus ad bellum referring to conditions under which a state can resort to war.

>The former Russian Prime Minister – widely seen as a stopgap for Vladimir Putin – repeatedly takes to social media to write provocative and inflammatory statements about the Ukraine war and the West.

>In Tuesday’s tweet, he warned the “apocalypse revelations are drawing nearer”, quoting a succession of biblical verse and old Soviet leaders. These included: “And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them,” from Revelation 9:6. “We are remembered until we stand in the others’ way,” attributed to Vladimir Lenin, who led the Bolshevik Revolution and was the first leader and founder of the Soviet Union.

>Medvedev ended the tweet with a notorious quote from former USSR leader Nikita Khrushchev, which was made to Western ambassadors in 1956, reading: “Whether you like it, or not, history is on our side. We will bury you.”
Did he honk his nose afterwards?
what, no nuclear annihilation over the airbases hit overnight?
Bring it on! lol. How many tanks do you have left?
As long as we have the right to defend ourselves… Also peak diplomacy, Mitya boy.
He’s on the same level as Baghdad Bob but not as funny, Medvedev is just annoying.
He must have been on the vodka again. Russia is losing the war to Ukraine. How could they take on the whole of NATO
The former darling of the Russian liberals, Medvedev, goes to extreme lengths to identify himself with the current Russian hardliners. But still nobody believes him!
Medvedev should also be activated and dispatched first to the front lines.
Certified medvedev classic
He is drunk again, isn’t he..
Right to war? Right to remain silent is hopefully his only future prospect.
