Russia threatened a dramatic escalation of its war in Ukraine Thursday when Russia’s Channel One featured a video depicting Russian missiles reaching Berlin, Paris, and London.
According to the UK’s Express, Channel One’s 60 Minutes program, one of the most popular TV shows in Russia, featured “the chairman of the nationalist Rodina party, Aleksey Zhuravlyov,” who “suggested Russia could launch a Sarmat missile attack on the UK.” This was not, however, Zhuravlyov’s eccentric view: “Producers then cut to a map of Kaliningrad and seemed to suggest that missiles could be launched from the Russian enclave between Poland, Lithuania and the Baltic Sea.”
Zhuravlyov declared: “One Sarmat [missile] and that’s it – the British Isles are no more.” The show’s cohost, Evgeny Popov, responded: “No one will survive in this war when you propose the strike with a Sarmat. Do you understand that no one will survive? No one on the planet.” Zhuravlyov, however, was undeterred, saying optimistically that “we’ll start with a blank slate,” and boasting that Russian missiles “can’t be intercepted. Their abilities are limited. They say they can shoot it down, we’ll see about that.”
The show’s other host, Popov’s wife Olga Skabeyeva, then added: “Sarmats are not in Kaliningrad yet. From Kaliningrad to Berlin is 106 seconds, from Kaliningrad to Paris is 200 seconds. You’re interested in London, 202 seconds to London.” Zhuravlyov responded happily: “They need to be shown this picture. ‘Guys, look at this picture — count the seconds, can you make it? Hello, it’s already here.’ That’s the way. Let them think about it. Get a stopwatch, count [to] 220 seconds. That’s how you talk to them, they don’t understand anything else.”

Sooner rather than later the non-communist world is going to have to deal with the communists
The left lusts for the destruction and devastation of white nations and peoples. It is a consuming obsession that they get off on. We see it everywhere. A nuclear war causing more destruction to Europe than WW2 is something they would be extremely thrilled with.
The Russians have Lindsey Graham grade morons too.
How about the ones here?
And it will be sooner if we don’t stand up and look like we mean business. The number of Neville chamberlains here that think we can stick our heads in the sand to make Putin go away is appallingly scary.
Nuclear blackmail. Yield to my territorial demands or I will unleash the nukes. At some point, there will have to be a strategic strategy developed to counter this.
“ Sooner rather than later the non-communist world is going to have to deal with the communists”
Sooner or later the Ruskies will need to deal with NATO and their aggressive actions.
I didn’t restrict communists to Russia China North Korea or Cuba
If they promised to nuke Springsteen and Bon Jovi, maybe we have a deal.
🙄
Oh? Who in the Russian government said this?
According to the UK’s Express, Channel One’s 60 Minutes program, one of the most popular TV shows in Russia, featured “the chairman of the nationalist Rodina party, Aleksey Zhuravlyov,” who “suggested Russia could launch a Sarmat missile attack on the UK.”
The Rodina party?
They're a far-right anti-communist party that only has one seat in the Duma (out of 450) and 6 seats out of the 3,994 total in all regional parliaments.
To show how absurd this headline is, it's equivalent to taking televised comments from the chairman of the Green Party of England and Wales and then saying that they represent the position of the United Kingdom.
It’s pretty clear just who is ratcheting up the rhetoric. The louder the talk, the weaker the talker.
“Neville chamberlains”
When they were younger not only did they give the bully their lunch money but promised the bully they would take on 2 more part time jobs to get more money for them every week.
Are you calling Soviet Russia a leftist nation with delusions of world domination? If so, I agree.
You sure didn’t. 👍
I think the While House and Congress should be fumigated first.
Then we need to clean out the government agencies and schools.
Once the head of the snake is cut off, it might be easier to regain some sanity in this world.
no reason to object to them nuking Germany... go for it
“To show how absurd this headline is, it’s equivalent to taking televised comments from the chairman of the Green Party of England and Wales and then saying that they represent the position of the United Kingdom.”
Well, if the guy isn’t “disappeared” within the next 48 hours, I think we can assume that Vlad is okay with the rhetoric.
“stand up and look like we mean business”
Take a look at the top of our government and military.
