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.”

Back in the 1960s Chairman Mao used to bluster about how the Chinese could win a nuclear war. Their population was so large that they would still be around when all the rest of the world would be dead. And then they could start with a blank slate to build socialism for the workers and peasants with no rotten capitalism around to spoil things.
Throw in the set of The View,Streisand’s house, and Rob Reiner and we’d have a deal.
Russia can only deal with NATO by either acting like a civilized country, going to war, or surrendering.
Anything else is not an option.
People like you and your warmonger ilk are the ones that grow up to be the Hitlers.
The world needs cooler heads.
Right when I see all these nuke stories I know it is not by accident they are flooding out. If means the Russians are very, very concerned that things are going to keep going badly for them and get worse and they want a way out. Too bax for them their bluff is being called.
Washington, DC, involved in that?
Is there a video somewhere on that page?
China has 90% of their population concentrated in 15% of their territory. A nuclear war would virtually eradicate them and they know it.
Just more bluster like this flaccid and tiresome bleating from the Soviets.
No, gutless worms like you Neville Chamberlains are the ones the enable the Hitlers. LEARN FROM HISTORY. PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH. WEAKNESS AND FECKLESSNESS ENBOLDENS BAD ACTORS.
The Russian government will choose a armament response that is highly damaging, but somewhat justifiable and not likely to lead to a greater counter response.
This target will not be in a NATO country. The Russians may chose to just threaten, if likely to be effective.
For national security reasons and to not have federal agents at my door, I can’t be specific.
The Russians are making their plans, with great care and patience. Mamy Russian soldiers have been burnt to death and blown to pieces by Western weapons - expect retaliation. It may not be claimed as such and may not appear as such.
You better watch your back next time you come to Paterson, pal.
I don’t know, Russia lies east of those they want to nuke.. It seems to me that doing such a thing would be like spiting into the wind. It never works out well...
“Sooner rather than later the non-communist world is going to have to deal with the communists”
Oh, you mean the Commie Euros? Are you volunteering?
Nope. The neoCONS lusting for WW3 who are aligned with soros obama biden et al
Sure, what do you suggest? My plan is to deport them all, but I’m waiting for the rest of the committee to vote.
The supply chain to Kaliningrad must be a really rocky road, passing as it does through nations not at all friendly to the Russian Federation. Even the air space does not seem to be that reliable. Where would the Russians ship from, Vladivostok?
Neville Chamberlain did what he had to do to the approval of the British public.
I wasn’t implying our current leadership is capable of fulfilling its duties.
