With diplomatic relations between Moscow and Washington at their lowest point since the Cold War, turning on Russian television can be an alarming experience. For the past month, Russian media outlets have been punctuated with reports asking people whether they are ready for nuclear war.
"If it should one day happen, every one of you should know where the nearest bomb shelter is. It’s best to find out now," according to one particularly fevered report on the Russian state-owned channel, NTV.
Russia’s main current affairs show, hosted by a presenter known by critics as the country’s propagandist-in-chief, recently spent two hours warning that Russia would defend itself with nuclear arms.
"We’ve had it with American abuse over Syria," the show’s host, Evgeny Kiselyov, told his audience. "Impudent behavior," from the U.S. towards Russia, he said, can now take on "nuclear dimensions."
Even more bluntly, Russia announced this week it was moving nuclear-capable ballistic missiles into its Northern European enclave, Kaliningrad, putting them within striking distance of Western capitals. In the same week, Russia test-fired 3 intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Would a low-yield hit on DC be that bad?
Reagan’s turning over in his grave.
“Would a low-yield hit on DC be that bad?”
Lol, for that matter, who would you prefer to rule over you: Putin or Hillary?
Yes it would you aint to bright it might not get them all
Fake tensions will increase until just before the election and suddenly Russia and the USA will come to some sort of understanding. There will be mutual back patting and Hillary will get credit
I know, I just have friends in NOVA.
It would depend on which way the wind is blowing I suppose.
Drudge is saying we’re up to Defcon 3.
If that’s true, it’s the first time since 9/11.
Our Terrorist in Chief keeps stirring the pot. He wants nothing more than to destroy the US. This may be one promise he’s kept.
Let me warn you. Our military leadership is infiltrated with woman and faggots. Our “president” totally failed in any legacy and he is wildly “wag the dod” to get the criminal elected> I think we are in peril. It this bozo president even come close to attacking and Russian military they will obliterate our Turkish air bases within 12 hours and it is on. If you have a family , be sure you have food, water and fuel and weapons with ammo. Everything with stop immediately.
I’m guessing that Obama really doesn’t want Putin releasing a certain video.
I’ll send some potassium iodide
>> Nuclear War Amid US Tensions
Stemming from the suspicious premise Russia hacked Podesta’s e-mail?
Humorous Clinton/Obama accuse Trump of being a nuclear risk.
I’m wondering if it’s all a gambit to take down the Internet with cyber-war before Wikileaks and the others can keep hammering them.
Only the MSM would be left, I’m just sayin’
He's doing 100 RPMs per second that would generate electricity.
Yeah, this is pretty standard Putinist psywar going on here. He turns it up every time he wants something. He figures he will escalate more than the other side is willing to. And with “leaders” like the kenyan and Merkel he would be right.
The Ruskies don’t have anything to worry about because MAD is no longer policy and Barry won’t order retaliation. In other words we’re all fucked. Thanks Democrats for destroying the USA. This is what happens when an enemy of the country is installed as its leader. We had a good run.
The kenyan is way to chicken to do anything big. He will probably lob a few cruise missiles at Syria first week of November and do a victory lap.
I have six totes of food, non-perishable (MREs and canned goods), a Rising S Bunker and I live out in the country.
