Russian MP Vladimir Zhirinovsky Suggests Destroying Istanbul With A Nuclear Strike
Korrespondent ^ | November 27, 2015

Posted on 11/28/2015 4:02:53 AM PST by Strategy

According to Russian media, MP Vladimir Zhirinovsky proposed to crush Turkey with a nuclear missile attack, Joinfo.ua reports with the reference to Korrespondent.

"Istanbul is very easy to destroy: it takes just one nuclear bomb to throw in the Strait (Bosphorus - Ed.), and it will be washed away. It would be such a terrible flood, the water column would rise to 10-15 meters, and there would be no city with nine million people," - said the leader of the Liberal Democrats.

According to Zhirinovsky, Turkey's NATO allies will not intervene, "not wanting to die in a nuclear fire."

Zhirinovsky said that at present Turkey is the number one enemy for Russia.

I doubt they’d want the Hagia Sophia glowing when they re-consecrate it.

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks

I like spiders mostly unless they’re poisonous. I once
found a spider web upstairs and he had killed a slew of
ants. They were scattered all over the floor. He hadn’t
had time to collect them yet.

"Yes. The same nut. He should have suggested Ankara. To much history in Constantinople."

Maybe he should use a neutron bomb instead. That way the buildings and history would be saved...

Surprised he’s still around. He used to taunt Boris Yeltsin.
He’s a strange breed. Like Hitler, he is part Jewish; and yet he hates Israel and all things Jewish. Go figure.
I think Putin likes him. Otherwise, he’d be missing.
Sometimes, a guy like Putin needs a guy like Zhirinovsky to say what he wants to say himself, but shouldn’t.
You know, the way hilary needs Bernie.

When you realize that 85% of Egyptians think the proper punishment for leaving Islam is death, you realize that they are the crazy ones.

Hey there FRiend ...

Got a spider thing there do ya?

You’ll appreciate this true story from my childhood:

My Dad put some concrete cinder blocks into the rolling terraces of our back yard so my Mom could grow her flowers and vegetables (something she loved to do), and one day she noticed this odd little spider running into one of the open cinder block holes, she shined a flashlight into it and saw a LOT of spiders, soooo,

She got a great big bell mason jar and a yard stick, poked the stick into the cinder block hole, the spiders would run up the stick, she would put the stick into the jar, shake them off, then proceed to the next spider dwelling, by the time she finished, she had collected over 3 dozen of the little bastards, and with the lid tightly affixed, looked them up in our World Book Encyclopedia and discovered they were ALL black widow spiders.

My Dad came home from work and just about had a heart attack. Next day he was up there filling those cinder block holes in with quick setting cement-concrete.

As for the spiders? After about a half gallon of denatured alcohol, they were off to their eternal reward, lol

I hate spiders too. When I see ‘em, I SMASH ‘em.

The term "Crazy Ivan" didn't just come out of nowhere.

No indeed.

He is saying what he knows wont happen, as he very well knows that Putin would not do that, even if Turkey was not a member of NATO or was weak. It is just to get attention and to tell the world of Russia’s capability.

...fainted...back up.

yeah, that would pretty much be it for this man’s fat heart.

i’m pretty sure all the spiders in NYC are harmless because of the climate but i’m still terrified.

if there were dangerous ones, i’d walk around in a bio-hazard suit.

Yes. The same nut. He should have suggested Ankara. To much history in Constantinople.

Remember the neutron bomb - killed people but left buildings in tact? Well, certainly by now the russkies have stolen that technology, so that should be the weapon of choice.
