RIGA, Latvia One of Russias top propagandists threatened Britain with annihilation by nuclear strike twice on his Sunday prime-time show once by air and once by sea ramping up the war of words against Britain over its vow to oust Russian forces from Ukraine.
Why threaten horizonless Russia with nuclear weapons when you sit on a small island? Kremlin-allied Dmitry Kiselyov said during his Sunday program on Russian state TV in a segment he called The Sinkable Island.

The explosion of this thermonuclear torpedo off the coast of Britain will raise a giant wave up to 500 meters high, Kiselyov said, without providing evidence. Such a water squall also carries extreme doses of radiation. Passing over the British Isles, it will turn what may be left of them into a radioactive desert.
Kiselyov did not directly mentioned Ireland, but Irish lawmakers including Prime Minister Micheál Martin described the mock-up of the Russian nuclear attack to Irish national broadcaster RTE as very sinister, intimidatory-type tactics. He called for Russia to apologize for whoever instigated this.

Drinking contest between the Irish and Russians? That should be codified in Geneva as a war crime.
