‘Judging Freedom’: Russia’s Info War vs NATO

Although the Information War that Moscow has advanced against the NATO decision to raise military budgets of Member States to 5% of GDP was indeed one of the topics in today’s chat with Judge Andrew Napolitano, we did not go into any depth because other subjects took precedence, including the fast deteriorating relations between Azerbaijan and the Russian Federation and what that tells us about the occasional brutishness of Moscow; Emanuel Macron’s two hour phone conversation with Vladimir Putin yesterday; the killing and wounding of civilians in Donetsk City yesterday caused by a French-built Storm Shadow medium range missile fired by Ukrainian forces; an appreciation of the situation on the front lines in Donbas, where the Ukrainians are losing ground but remain in control of the discipline of their troops and continue fighting despite the cut-off of American military supplies; and why Mossad may not be the world’s greatest intel agency but a very near sighted bunch that is no better than peers in Washington or London.
