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.

The Guardian, a left-wing media outlet, has taken down Osama bin Laden’s notorious “Letter to America” from its website this week after the words of the deceased terrorist mastermind, responsible for the attacks on September 11, 2001, gained traction on social media.
The letter, which had been published on The Guardian’s website since 2002, resurfaced online, causing a sudden spike in traffic. Social media users unearthed and shared the anti-American and antisemitic content, propelling the document to viral status. The Guardian, acknowledging the increased circulation without the full context, opted to remove the transcript.
According to reports from Fox News Digital, a spokesperson for The Guardian stated, “The transcript published on our website 20 years ago has been widely shared on social media without the full context. Therefore we have decided to take it down and direct readers to the news article that originally contextualized it instead.” The outlet declined to provide additional comments on the matter.
Osama bin Laden’s letter, translated into English, justified al-Qaeda’s attacks against the U.S. by citing American actions in Palestine. The deceased terrorist accused the U.S. of supporting the creation and continuation of Israel, labeling it one of the “greatest crimes” that must be erased. Bin Laden’s letter also propagated antisemitic tropes, claiming Jews control American policies, media, and the economy.
The 9/11 attacks, orchestrated by al-Qaeda, resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 people and left thousands more injured. The letter’s resurgence occurred as it was shared by social media influencers on platforms like TikTok, with some expressing a change in perspective. Pro-Palestinian activist Lynette Adkins was among those who shared the letter online, prompting discussions and reflections.
The Guardian’s decision to remove the letter from its website underscores the sensitivity surrounding the content and its potential impact, particularly as young individuals across America engage with pro-Palestinian talking points. The episode has sparked debates about the influence of social media in reshaping perceptions and the responsibility of media outlets in disseminating controversial historical documents.

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.
