Russian state TV host Vladimir Solovyov threatened the annihilation of the United Kingdom on Wednesday with the Sarmat, Russia’s newest ballistic missile.
“One Sarmat means minus one Great Britain,” Moscow mouthpiece Vladimir Solovyov said on state TV. “Because they’ve gotten totally boorish.”
Solovyov — occasionally called “Putin’s voice” for his close ties to the strongman — is the same TV presenter at the center of a debunked assassination attempt, in which the Kremlin said neo-nazis armed with video games planned to kill the Kremlin lackey.
Solovyov made the statement from behind a laptop emblazoned with the letter “Z,” which has become shorthand for support of Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
This isn’t the first time Putin’s propagandists cavalierly considered global thermonuclear war. Last week, after the first successful test of the Sarmat’s basic flight capabilities, a pair of state TV hosts chuckled over the prospect of wiping out “a good city” like New York.
“If 7.5 megatons will be delivered to the territory of our so-called [American] partners — the word ‘partner’ is very important — then objects like the city of New York, a good city but it would be gone,” one host said.
“Completely gone, with one rocket. Completely, I mean completely,” he went on, laughing. “So it’s better we don’t. Americans always feared our heavy rockets.”

My opinion is based on the likely gutting of the Russian nuclear apparatus due to endemic corruption. Show me a single datapoint that argues against my thesis.
It will be interesting to see how American and NATO attitudes about this Russian/Ukraine conflict change once Elon Musk opens up Twitter and people are given the opportunity to see a fuller (read: realistic) picture.

Yes....so much about this....and, other corruption/cabal activities will have the veil pulled off, once Musk opens up Twitter.
We’ll have to wait and see if he’s successful, in finalizing the deal. We know the DS if fighting tooth and nail, to keep him from doing so.
Thanks for the Ritter interview link.....will watch in parts, as I can.
(Welcome back....I’ve missed your input, on the forum ;-)
Except that KI is nearly useless in a nuke war fallout scenario. It only protects your thyroid against I131, which is commonly produced in a civilian reactor accident, but not necessarily the most common or prevailing radioisotope in a fallout case.
Those hyping it are snake oil salesment.
You will likey succumb to the acute radiation sickness from fallout before you get your thyroid cancer.
Staying below ground in a radiation shelter for weeks/months, having a supply of food/clean water is key to survival. No amount of KI will reduce the sieverts you accumulate if you stay above ground.
You are simply opting to deny whatever solid evidence not fitting into your agenda.
He's not particularly bright however.
I can only imagine the UK’s response!
Agree. Not much point in an older person taking it anyway even if I-131 was prevalent.
Maybe if they could pack a tsar bomba into the missile.

The Engineers limited edition tsar bomba was HALF of what Kruzchef wanted them to build.
👍
The shockwave must have been beyond amazing and terrifying.
I've read many, though I am sure not all, and have NEVER seen a comment advocating that the US use nuclear weapons as a first response. THAT is all Putin/Russia.
What you’re doing in Ukraine is even more loathsome.
And you will pay for that.
In spades.

“I am talking about advising Ukrainians to torture POWs..”
So it’s a war then?
I mean you can’t have POW status if there isn’t a war.
Right?

Maintaining nukes is expensive and difficult! Like Maryland politicians, the Russian autocrats likely believe they need a second yacht and third beach house!
You evil nasty liar, shut up about things you know nothing about
Really? What do you know?
Liar! I have Ukranian friends from there who were living there during all of that . Stop spreading your Stalinist propaganda. You must be getting paid a lot to spread the lies of your commie masters.
They are probably listening to the same CNN you are.
