Full Title: Syria crisis: Russia raises prospect of war if it is given G7 ultimatum as it mocks Boris Johnson's no-show

Wow. Thanks for the info. Sounds terrifying.

Nah! The drills were fun and a welcome break from the monotony of the school day.

No one was really worried about getting nuked. It was great time to be a kid.

Yawn. Putinist Russia has been threatening nuclear war off and on since things got hot in Ukraine. Funny how Russia makes the threats but it’s always the west that is “causing” WW3. LOL.
