Russian tanks descending on Warsaw and Berlin? Missiles lobbed at Washington and London? Such are the scenarios aired by a Russian national television program in response to suggestions that world leaders mark the defeat of Nazi Germany somewhere other than in Moscow.
In a recent segment broadcast by the St. Petersburg-based Channel 5 station, presenter Nika Strizhak and a reporter suggest sending Russian tanks, fighter jets, and nuclear missiles to Western capitals should world leaders snub Russia's celebration of the 70th anniversary of Victory Day in May.
"It's a very intriguing idea to move our Victory Day parade to London or Berlin. We could certainly display our tanks in Warsaw and hold a large, European tour," Strizhak said in the February 8 broadcast of her weekly news and commentary show, Glavnoye.
The segment, an apparent stab at satire, came in response to comments by Polish Foreign Minister Grzegorz Schetyna last week supporting an idea to have world leaders mark the anniversary in Gdansk.
"It's not natural that tributes marking the end of the war should be organized where the war began," Schetyna said, according to the AP, which noted that he appeared to be referring to the secret 1939 pact between Germany and the Soviet Union to carve up Eastern Europe.
Strizhak proceeds to pass the baton to a reporter who explains the relative ease with which Russian tanks and fighter jets could reach numerous European capitals.
"Warsaw is too easy. It's only 1,300 kilometers from Moscow to the Polish capital,"...adding that Russian tanks could make it to the Warsaw suburbs "in less than a day."
He adds that Berlin is just 1,800 kilometers away and would be "a nice place for a friendly visit" for the May 9 Victory Day celebrations....

If the Russians move what will they do with all the Muslims in Western Europe? No, if Russia moves into Europe—they will be invited in!
Molotov may have first concocted that cocktail, but the Russians won’t be the only mixologists at the party... ;)
wow. France, “weak to strong” must be what obama is modeling
I like the comment after the article which says do it Russia, when you are done the only place Russian will be spoken is in hell......................
The Finns named it Molotov Cocktail. During the Winter War Russian propaganda was blasting that the bombers flying over Finland are throwing bread baskets to starving Finns. Finns then created a drink to go with the bread and shared it with Russian tanks.
Whoops, thanks. Learn something every day!
Since we spend more money on our military than they do, WE HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
...or at least that’s what a good number of IDIOTS on THIS SITE think.
