Russian TV shows simulation of Britain and Ireland wiped out by a nuke

RIGA, Latvia — One of Russia’s 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.”

Unlikely and bullshit.

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