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.”

Also Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
You seem very rattled pipsqueak.
Quit with the nev chamberlain jive. Hitler didn’t have the means to destroy Britain, France etc in a few strikes. If he did ww2 woukdn’t have happened.The more apt comparison if you want to make them is Nato against Sebia and Russia against Ukraine. The former excised a part of a sovereign country to give mad mo followers their own space. make bent dick look good. The latter are going to do the same for Russians in East Ukraine.
You couldn’t get them over there by chaining a D8 Cat to each arm and leg. They will hold your coat for you to go. And call names.
“We” started hating Russia as soon as it ceased to be Communist, and “we” hate it now because it’s not on the LGBTQRSTUV bandwagon and at least states that it adheres to traditional Western Judeo Christian morality.
That doesn’t mean Russia is a hero state, but simply that it has a declared ethic that conflicts with that of the US New World Order, which seems to be based on socialism and atheism. So the Russians are doing what states do….and remember, it was the Ukrainians, with their constant attacks on the Donbas and violation of the agreements, that started this.
Personally, I think the Bidens saw this as an opportunity to go big…in other words, precisely when people were beginning to ask question about Joe and Hunter’s profitable Ukrainian involvements, they took this situation and with the aide of the media, have now successfully portrayed a billion-dollar-sucking, totally corrupt country as the hero in this.
All states have to look out for their own welfare, except, apparently, ours.
The Dems, now with figurehead Biden, have been busy selling out our country or even giving it away (with a little something in it for their investment accounts, of course) since forever, and once they got Trump out, they even stopped trying to hide it. And this is the result.
They’re taunting the Russians, and they really think that WWIII is going to be fun and beneficial to the Democratic Party. And that goes for any Republicans who are worshipping at the shrine of the famous pianist Zelensky.
But it’s not going to be fun at all, for anyone.
There is a great deal of evidence that supports every point you made.
I am so sorry you may not get your WWIII. There is still hope Biden will provide.
Ther is an election in Brazil 6 months away. Guess who is down there stirring up trouble and working on getting rid of Jair Bolsonero?

This group behind Biden are on the move and they are working fast now at toppling governments that are not on board with the NWO.
They just got done with Pakistan.
As we can see, all eyes are on Ukraine, but they are working fast while people focus on Ukraine and the media doesn’t report what all they have been up to.
I was never a fan of the NATO Serbia action. Didn’t think then or now it was smart or warranted.
So your argument is probably the closest I have heard to an analogy yet to justify Putin’s actions. But two wrongs do not make a right. They were/are both wrong and evil.
Does the d in dforest stand for ‘dense’?
It’s realpolitik practiced by big powers. They do as they please. This current conflict will be one of numerous map re drawings that will occur due to resource rivalry, economic rivalry, nationalism, pre-emptive action, grievance, political deflection. You name it. No amount of tears, support, moral outrage or whatever is going to stop it occuring somewhere. It’s human history and the human future. It can be suppressed by alliances, unions etc etc etc etc. But still will happen regardless. Old conflicts settled. New conflicts erupt. So is the U.S going to be world cop to perpetually try to prevent or limit. I don’t think it will have digestive fortitude to do it. The staying power if that what it chooses to be.
It’s high time we began work on a comprehensive civilian defense system for the masses. Subway tunnels are not going to work with fallout.
It is unlikely anyone (in the once-and-future USSR) ever seriously considered nuking the Ukraine because it's downwind from Russia's agricultural breadbasket by the prevailing winds and the wind-driven fallout would put Strontium 90 in their milk for decades.
And to nuke the formerly great Britain would be suicidal because of the US & UK's 1958 mutual defence (sic) treaty. Any one of the US's ballistic missile submarines can nuke 288 separate targets in the (once-and-future) USSR, and their range is so great that they can sit offshore from Newport News and still hit Moscow.
With the dilapidated state that Russia's nuclear arsenal likely is in, they're in no position to nuke anybody. This is nothing more than vodka-fueled sabre-rattling.
Isn’t that what they did in the Ukraine in 2014? I think Nuland was involved in that one as well.
Yes she was and they have her doing this all over the place, She did not succeed in Hungary though. They are trying to do this in Russia using Ukraine. Nuland hates Russia so she can’t go there.
Does the M in Magnum stand for moron?
I see, the d must stand for drama queen. You make up what you want to hear from others so you can dramatize about it. No one in their right mind wants WWIII but you want to start some childish argument and claim that’s my position.
As far as I am concerned the US is a flavor of Communism. We should fight them here first.
No need to shout, we get it. You are totally aligned with the Democrats. You were probably drooling today watching Pelosi in Ukraine.
“Any one of the US’s ballistic missile submarines can nuke 288 separate targets in the (once-and-future) USSR, and their range is so great that they can sit offshore from Newport News and still hit Moscow.”
As Trump told rocket boy “Don’t ever threaten the United States again.My button is bigger than yours and mine works”.
