Russian state TV has said the possibility of nuclear war is more likely than Vladimir Putin losing the conflict he started in Ukraine.
Margarita Simonyan, editor of broadcaster RT and one of the most highly paid Kremlin mouthpieces, made the chilling prediction last night.
Speaking with a panel of nervous looking experts on TV, she said: ‘Either we lose in Ukraine, or the Third World War starts.
‘I think World War Three is more realistic, knowing us, knowing our leader. The most incredible outcome, that all this will end with a nuclear strike, seems more probable to me than the other course of events.
‘This is to my horror on one hand. But on the other hand, it is what it is. We will go to heaven, while they will simply croak. We’re all going to die someday.’
It follows other threats of nuclear war from fellow propagandist Vladimir Solovyov, foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, and Putin himself over the past few days.
The US and UK have dismissed such rhetoric as sabre rattling, but the increasing frequency offers a bleak outlook of how the world is being shaped by Ukraine’s invasion.
Britain’s Foreign Secretary Liz Truss believes the conflict would drag on for 10 years – branding Putin a ‘desperate rogue operator’.
It comes after Russia announced plans to deploy its ultra advanced RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental missile – nicknamed ‘Satan II’ in the West.
The weapon is capable of carrying 10 to 15 nuclear warheads, can fly more than 11,000 miles and can target multiple locations at once.
It is said to be 3,000 times as powerful as the bomb that wiped out Hiroshima and was successfully tested by Russia last week.
Pro-Kremlin TV anchor Vladimir Solovyov threatened that the weapon would be capable of wiping out the UK.
Claiming the country had been ‘totally boorish’ in its support of Ukraine, he said: ‘As it turned out, one Sarmat means minus one Great Britain.’
This week Putin said his response to anyone who ‘threatens’ Russia will be ‘lightning-fast’ and deadly.
He told politicians in St Petersburg: ‘If someone intends to interfere in what is going on from the outside, they must know that constitutes an unacceptable strategic threat to Russia.
‘We have all the weapons we need for this. No one else can brag about these weapons, and we won’t brag about them. But we will use them.’
Although Putin did not mention nuclear weapons directly, it is likely he was referring to the Sarmat missile.
It came after video emerged showing Putin’s hand shaking uncontrollably, sparking fresh speculation about his ailing health.

“‘This is to my horror on one hand. But on the other hand, it is what it is. We will go to heaven, while they will simply croak. We’re all going to die someday.’”
That’s some real islamic-style crazy talk.
Post of the day!
Also thank the Supreme Court justices who refused even to examine evidence of massive voter fraud and who, even if they proved that no fraud occurred, would have spared the American People immeasurable anxiety and danger.
Romney on live TV gets burned to a crisp.
Tragic.:)
Nancy Peposi after being nuked looks the same?
GEEZ!!! They sound a lot like Muzzies, don't they?!?
Hmmm. I did a search and I searched Russia. Why did they put it under chat?
“We will go to heaven, while they will simply croak.”
Here’s your and Russia’s problem, any nuclear war won’t be a tit for tat.
Just our subs can have you eating Okroshka in caves for generations, those of you that survive the sun tan.
Do you not understand that we know exactly the kind of tactical threat Russia poses?
Don’t you think we’ve laid awake at night figuring out how to neutralize your nukes?
We know what you’re thinking, doing, planning.
So, make your move.
Only a matter of time. What a show it will be.
psycho-ops:-)
Wonder what Ike or Reagan would do? But then we’ve got Biden at this cross roads of history.
Dunno. You’d have to ask the OP.
By now given where this is headed I would have reloaded each d5 with its full war shots, not the puny 4 or so.
