The provocative rhetoric from the Russian media continues, which now urges Putin to “wipe the United Kingdom off the map using its most powerful nuclear weapons.”
More specifically, Dmitry Kiselyov, a man known as “Putin’s spokesman”, used his show on a Russian channel on Sunday night to suggest attacks in the UK with a Poseidon drone that he said could detonate a radioactive 1,600-foot tidal wave and “sink Britain to the depths of the ocean”
The drone “has a capacity of up to 100 megatons per head,” Kiselyov claimed – several thousand times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima – which would “lift a giant wave, a tsunami, up to 1,640 feet high” – enough to cover at least half the distance to the highest point in England.
All this, as the Daily Mail notes, at a time when the country’s state media, acting as Putin’s propaganda machine, continue to threaten with mass death.
Kiselyov then threatened the United Kingdom with an attack by Sarmat 2, Russia’s newest nuclear missile tested by Putin a fortnight ago, which he claimed could also completely destroy the country with a single blow.
“Their island is so small that one Sarmat rocket is enough to drown it once and for all,” he said. “It is capable of destroying an area the size of Texas or England. “Only one launch, Boris, and there is no England anymore.”
Kiselyov’s statements follow a pattern that has developed in the Russian state media in recent days threatening Britain with a nuclear holocaust, based on the refuted hypothesis that Boris Johnson threatened to carry out a nuclear strike on Russia without consulting NATO.
In fact, the threats are believed to be the result of the United Kingdom’s strong support for Ukraine, as the United Kingdom has been quicker and faster than other Western nations in handing over weapons to Kyiv to help in the fight against Russia. that Boris Johnson launched a two-day visit to Ukraine to show his support.
