A leading anchor on Russian state television on Sunday described Russia as the only country capable of turning the United States into "radioactive ash"

Factually inaccurate. China could too. And at least as far as major cities go, France, Britain and UK could do a decent job as well.

And rather than saying Britain AND UK, I clearly intended to substitute Israel.

The Russians obviously have not been to a lot of US cities lately. At least, not if they think they are scaring some of us.

Isn't this sort of like them threatening to flush our toilets while they know that in exchange we will smash their finest tableware?

I don’t know what France’s capacity is but I very much doubt it is anything near Russia’s. If I am not mistaken Britain’s nuclear deterrent is under dual key control of the United States, Israel does not have the capacity to hit the US and I simply don’t know about China but again I would doubt it matches Russia.

He’s got a point, only Russia comes close.
