Far-right Russian politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky says Poland and Baltic states risk being “wiped out” in the escalating conflict over Ukraine.
“They will be wiped out. Nothing will remain there. The heads of these dwarf states should think who they are,” Zhirinovsky, a deputy speaker of Russia's lower house of parliament (Duma) said in an astonishing outburst on the state-backed Russia 24 TV channel station on Monday.
The 65 year-old leader of the nationalist Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, an opposition politician who is seen as a close ally of the Kremlin, said that the fate of Eastern Europe is in the hands of one man, Vladimir Putin.
“All questions of war and peace in general and in particular those relating to Ukraine will be solved by one person, the head of the Russian Federation,” he said.
“The Baltic States and Poland are doomed. They will be wiped out. Nothing will remain there,” Zhirinovsky said. On attempts by Polish and other CEE leaders to beef up NATO's defences in the region, the politician, often described as “controversial but charismatic” appeared to predict World War III.
“Of course, nothing threatens America, because it is far away, but Eastern European countries risk being destroyed completely.
This is their fault, because we cannot accept planes and missiles to be launched into Russia from their territories. We need to destroy them 30 minutes before the launch.”

Ping.
Must be the Vodka talking.
I remember this guy from the 1990s and his speeches about Russian soldiers one day washing their boots in the Indian Ocean.
So,what Hitler and his (erstwhile buddy/Uncle Joe)started,will now be completed under Putie,Pute??
How does an "opposition" pol become a "close ally" ?
Meh, he’s been talking crazy like this for DECADES.
It’s like Nork potentates, “We’ll bathe you in seas of radioactive fire”, blah, blah, blah….
It’s weirder when he does NOT talk like this.
Lithuania 1 - Soviet Union 0
This ain’t 1939. Poland will kick Russkie ass this time.
Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) has just crept out of the dark corner where It’s been hiding for the last twenty-five years.
so...he fears a few hand grenades being tossed over the fence from Latvia but our massive nuclear arsenal does not concern him cause we’re far away?
Oh yeah. BIGTIME Vokda Happy Hour.
A few well placed bombs in Russia would possibly promote an attitude adjustment.
Zhirinovsky is the Alan Grayson of Russia.
I rather think Russia wants Lemberg/Lwow and the rest of Galicia back in Poland, because that would remove most of the anti-Russians and open the road to Kiev.
I’m sure Putin would gladly part with Kaliningrad to bring Merkel on board. Throw in Grodno, Brest, and maybe Wilno, and maybe Breslau and Danzig come into the picture.
Some of Putin’s biggest fans seem to think that he is determined to commit some more acts of terrorism. Where can we safely fly in a world with Putin?
Except Alan Grayson opposes Obama’s bombing of Iraq, while Zhirinovsky Supports Putin’s terrorist invasion of Ukraine.
