Putin's Nukes Could Wipe Out Entire American East Coast In Minutes
Zero Hedge ^ | October 27, 2016 | By Tyler Durden

Posted on 10/27/2016 8:45:44 AM PDT by Strategy

Those who have been toying with outright war against Russia, and an escalation of the conflict in Syria, are putting the lives of all Americans at risk.

Of course, the threat of nuclear annihilation has been with us since the earliest days of the Cold War, but Russia has now positioned itself with the largest and most destructive nuclear arsenal of any country in the world.

Obama and Hillary are busy picking fights with Russia.

THAT should be a MSM headline! Obama is weak and easily distracted. So his misadventures regarding Russia haven't amounted to much.

But Hillary is focused, and spiteful. She WILL push confrontation with Russia. The other day she said that she would impose a no-fly zone over Syria. That was aimed directly at Russia. She is truly a threat to the survival of the US and the world.

But the media would rather report on something Trump might have said ten years ago. That's more than just pathetic. It's frightening.

Could Putin maybe split them up between the upper NE coast and the lower SW coast? That would solve a lot of problems in one fell swoop.../s

Yeah, but in response we would send Putin a strongly-worded letter saying that wasn’t a very nice thing to do. And boy that would show him.....

Everyone talks about “optics” now, Like when Bill met the AG on a plane

But - you got to see the irony with this.

Russian guy with his finger on the button, while Hillary holds it for him - How true

Maybe Putin could just nuke the west coast, instead? Or, stick to the upper east coast and maybe throw in the west coast areas too, as a bonus?

And, Thanks to Hillary, they now know there is a 4 minute response time.

Hillary doesn't think there should be any classified information at all.

Except information about her health, and who gives her money, and what they were promised in return.

This has been true from about 1960 on wards.

The entire Southern coast has prime targets too. :)

My view is that while Putin is not suicidal, things could escalate. For example multiple American and Russian planes shot down in Syria. Mutual attacks on Russian and American airbases.

Maybe the Russians get tagged particularly hard, and fire a nuclear-tipped Sunburn missile (or several) at a carrier to retaliate. Then instantly 7,000 sailors are vaporized.

And then they immediately announce any nuclear attack on Russian soil, whether or not it targets civilian or military would result in an immediate nuclear strike on a major US city.

Then the question is, what does the US do in return?

This is ANOTHER “deliberate, Hillary-news-media-coordination ploy: SCARE the voters by “threatening the voters” with a Donald Trump-Russia-linked nuclear threat, while ignoring the collusion between Hillary and Russia, between Oboma-Kerry-Hillery and THEIR LONG-SERVING communist policies and anti-America policies THAT SUPPORT the threat against America!

Use Hillary’s “vast experience” (in foreign affairs” and “in the White House”) to draw down Trumps’ appeal. Ignore her incompetence and HER failures during ALL of those long years, but play up the fears that ignorant voters have about Donald’s impromptu and on-the-fly statements.

(Hillary’s focus-group-tested, pre-planned and totally programmed responses are “safer” in the real world? ) Well, according to the Never-Trumpets in Washington who program Hillary and program the Washington consultants, “yes” . Hillary is “safer”.

The East Coast includes a lot of God’s country, remember.

First of all, they are not “Putin’s” nukes.

Second, this has been the case for the last 50 years. Why are they re-hashing this now??

Basically the situation for, oh....around the last 50 years.

Wiping out the entire East Coast would be viewed as a very bad thing 50 years ago. Less so today.

Take a look at the button on that image you posted. Note the Russian word "peregruzka". Hillary's team thought that this word meant "reset", to match the printed English word reset.'

Peregruzka actually means "overload". This is how stupid and careless Hillary's team is! They can't even get one word right.

Funny how this foreign policy blunder was never reported by the MSM.
