Dmitry Kiselev, prominent Russian television anchor, posed in front of a mushroom cloud and warned that Russia’s the only country in the world capable of turning the U.S. into radioactive dust.

I mention this because it’s state-controlled Russian television which, as we know, doesn’t, you know, generally broadcast stuff that is not, you know, signed off by the government of Russia. What is your sense when you hear something like that?

MR. CARNEY: I mean, that people say crazy things on TV all the time.

And wonders why the U.S. is now considered to be non existent.
