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.

Well, if the guy isn’t “disappeared” within the next 48 hours, I think we can assume that Vlad is okay with the rhetoric.
There is a lot of bloviating really non credible information meant to inflame people being posted.
It is ridiculous.
