Russian State TV Anchor: Russia Could Turn US To "Radioactive Ash"
An anonymous reader writes with a Ukraine news roundup. "'Russia is the only country in the world realistically capable of turning the United States into radioactive ash,' anchor Dmitry Kiselyov said on his weekly news show on state-controlled Rossiya 1 television. ... His programme was broadcast as the first exit polls were being published showing an overwhelming majority of Crimeans voting to leave Ukraine and join Russia. He stood in his studio in front of a gigantic image of a mushroom cloud produced after a nuclear attack, with the words 'into radioactive ash.' ... Kiselyov has earned a reputation as one of Russia's most provocative television news hosts, in particularly with his often blatantly homophobic remarks. But he is also hugely influential with his weekly news show broadcast at Sunday evening prime time. Putin last year appointed Kiselyov head of the new Russia Today news agency that is to replace the soon to be liquidated RIA Novosti news agency with the aim of better promoting Russia's official position. — Russia has threatened to stop nuclear disarmament treaty inspections and cooperation. Russian troops are reported to have seized a natural gas terminal in Ukraine outside of Crimea. There are reported to be 60,000 Russian troops massing on Russia's border with Ukraine."
But this is the kind of thing that tends to happen when the west deliberately destabilises a country for its own ends to try and keep the ponzi scheme going.
If only the US hadn't antagonized Stalin the Soviets wouldn't have built nukes and the world would be at peace. Shame on us.
Also, the US Military Industrial Complex is using Putin to scare the US into a defense build-up; the Russians are innocent pawns of US capitalists and none of this is their fault.
That should about cover it. Please forgo repeating the above in 80% of the threads that follow. Thanks.
