Putin propagandist and State TV host threatens UK with ‘underwater nuclear strike’
“A single launch, Boris, and there is no England anymore. Once and for all. Why do they play games?” That eerie message came from a Russian state television host who threatened that Britain could be “plunged into the sea” by an underwater nuclear strike.
One of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “key propagandist” Dmitry Kiselyov used his television show to make the threat. Kiselyov said the weapon would trigger a radioactive tidal wave and plunge Britain “to the depths of the ocean”.
He added: “This tidal wave is also a carrier of extremely high doses of radiation. Surging over Britain, it will turn whatever is left of them into radioactive desert, unusable for anything. How do you like this prospect?”
The INDEPENDENT also reported that Kiselyov “also threatened the UK with another weapon, Sarmat 2, which Russia said earlier this month it planned to deploy by autumn. The intercontinental ballistic missiles – that are capable of carrying 10 or more nuclear warheads – would be able to target Europe and the US, experts have warned.”
“Why do they threaten vast Russia with nuclear weapons while they are only a small island? The island is so small that one Sarmat missile is enough to drown it once and for all,” Mr Kiselyov said.
“Russian missile Sarmat, the world most powerful is capable of destroying an area the size of Texas or England.

Former President Donald Trump stated bluntly on Truth Social, “FIRST COME THE TANKS, THEN COME THE NUKES. Get this crazy war ended, NOW. So easy to do!”
Trump was referring to the escalation of war in Ukraine. He, like many other commentators and lawmakers, are warning that the decision to continue sending weapons – and now tanks – could potentially lead to the use of “nuclear weapons.”
It’s mission creep and it’s dangerous, they say.
Why? Because Russian President Valdimir Putin has indicated in two different speeches that he would use nuclear weapons to defend Russia, if needed. Those warnings are not just bluster but a very real possibility.
And the escalation of war is visible.
Russia launched 55 missiles strikes across Ukraine Thursday, leaving 11 dead. The strikes come one day after the United States and Germany agreed to send tanks to Ukraine in an effort to aide the country. 47 of the 55 missiles were shot down according to Ukraine’s Air Force command.
Eleven lives were lost and another 11 were injured additionally leaving 35 buildings damaged in the wake of the attacks. According to The New York Times, Denys Shmyhal, said in a post on Telegram. “The main goal is energy facilities, providing Ukrainians with light and heat,” he said.
Ukraine is now demanding that they need F-16 fighter jets. In a post on twitter Ukrainian lawmaker, Oleksiy Goncharenko said, “Missiles again over Ukraine. We need F16.”
Morning. Missiles again over Ukraine. We need F16.

The US has abstained from sending advanced jets in the chances that a volatile decision could foster more dangerous attacks like former President Trump’s post on Truth referred to. If the US did authorize the decision to lend Ukraine the F-16 jets Netherlands’ foreign minister, Wopke Hoekstra, would be willing to supply them. According to The New York Times, Hoekstra told Dutch lawmakers, “We are open-minded… There are no taboos.”
F-16 fighter jets are complex to work on, they are not the average aircraft that can be learned in a matter of weeks. It can take months for pilots to learn how to fly these birds. European and US officials have the concern that Ukrainian forces could potentially use the jets to fly into Russian airspace and launch attacks on Russian soil.
Western allies are trying to avoid such a provocation, because that could lead to nuclear warfare in reference to what Putin has said he would do to defend his country.

Of course if Putin was dumb enough to this, he and his minions would only have minutes to gloat before Uk’s allies nuked Russia back into the stone age covered with nothing but chared glass.

Sara, you’ve done very good reporting in the past, and I respect that. Thank you very much.
However, when it comes to neutral and unbiased reporting regarding Russia and Russians, you’ve clearly jumped the shark.
Please dig deep into your soul, and see if you’re practicing real journalism on this subject. I know Lara Logan is, whom I highly respect also.
