Hi, everyone. Judge Andrew Napolitano here for Judging Freedom. Today is Friday, September 30th, 2022. It's about four o'clock in the afternoon here on the East Coast of the United States. Just about an hour and a half ago, also on the East Coast in Washington, D.C., President Joe Biden, using what I think is unnecessarily strong and even provocative language, was responding to unusually strong or usually strong and provocative language from Russian President Vladimir Putin. Before we get into what Putin said, here's what Joe Biden said. America is fully prepared with our NATO allies to defend every single inch of NATO territory.

Every single inch. So, Mr. Putin, don't misunderstand what I'm saying. Every inch. Mr. Putin, don't misunderstand what I'm saying, every single inch. You know, it's bellicose, it's warlike. Putin is strong but fragile. And I'm not so sure that language like that accomplishes anything except maybe pleasing Lindsey Graham

and the neocons in the Congress and throughout the country. Putin did make some very strong statements. The United States is the only country to have dropped a nuclear bomb. He's right. The United States killed innocents, killed civilians with that nuclear bomb. He's right. Now, he made a lot of other statements like Anglo--saxons did this and anglo-saxons bombed the nordstream pipeline i mean the the american government is blaming the russian

government for bombing the nordstream pipeline which would be absurd for them to do it all they have to do is turn it off why would they destroy their own property uh while the president of russia and the President of the United States are pointing fingers at each other over who's going to defend what. Okay, we have a NATO treaty. I don't agree with it, but we have a NATO treaty. We have agreed to defend the NATO countries. The treaty specifically says if one country is attacked, it shall be treated as an attack by all. This has never happened. And, of course, NATO is far larger and goes far more eastward toward Moscow than it did in the old Cold War days,

and certainly than it was at the end of World War II when NATO was put together. Why Joe Biden made these comments, I don't know. Maybe this appeals to some conservatives that would vote for the Democrats in the midterm elections in six weeks. He didn't sound very strong, but his words were unduly harsh and needlessly provocative. I hope this goes nowhere. Judge Napolitano for judging freedom.
