“Putin’s mouthpiece” appeared on state television, urging Vlad “to wipe the U.K. off the map” with the most-powerful nuclear weapons the Kremlin has in the stockpile. Dmitry Kiselyov is the kind of guy who appears on TV to tell his millions of followers what to think. The only difference is that Kiselyov and his fans are Russian.
A nuclear tsunami
All it takes is a nuclear bomb. The west has been bleeping and moaning about Russia bringing mass death to Ukraine. That’s nothing, Dmitry Kiselyov declared Sunday night, May 1.
If you want mass death, well why not wash Britain right off the map with a radioactive wall of water 1,600 feet high. That, Kiselyov opines, would be mass death.
The United Kingdom wouldn’t be throwing their weight around anymore a mere ten minutes after successful use of a nuclear armed “Poseidon underwater drone.” According to the specs, just one would “trigger a 1,600 foot radioactive tidal wave” and “plunge Britain to the depths of the ocean.”
Their warheads have a capacity of up to 100 megatons. For comparison, that’s “several thousand times the strength of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.”
If one of those nuclear devices detonated off the coast, it would create a tidal wave tall enough to “reach halfway up Scafell Pike, the tallest point in England.” He even had a nifty graphic in the shot to back him up.
Daily Mail describes it as “a background graphic showing the UK being erased from the world map.” If a quarter mile high wave of water weren’t bad enough to ruin your day, “This tidal wave is also a carrier of extremely high doses of radiation.” That means it will turn whatever is left “into radioactive desert, unusable for anything.” He then quipped, “how do you like this prospect?”
Or, maybe a Sarmat 2
Another possibility Putin has in store for Great Britain is an attack using “Sarmat 2, Russia’s latest nuclear missile which was tested by Putin a fortnight ago, which he claimed could also completely destroy the country with just a single impact.”
The way Kiselyov puts it, “Their island is so small that one Sarmat missile is enough to drown it once and for all.” Joe Biden may want to pay attention, he adds. Those missiles are “capable of destroying an area the size of Texas or England.”
“A single launch, Boris, and there is no England anymore,” he warns. The pundits note that “Kiselyov’s remarks follow a pattern that has developed on Russian state media in recent days of threatening Britain with nuclear holocaust.”
The idea started swirling “based on the false premise that Boris Johnson has threatened to carry out a nuclear strike on Russia without consulting NATO.”
That’s nonsense, number 10 counters. They say the “threats are instead believed to be the result of the UK’s staunch support for Ukraine, which has seen it move further and faster than other European nations in delivering arms to Kyiv to help in the fight against Russia.”
Boris Johnson has already been there twice to visit since the war broke out. Experts note that a Poseidon “is made up of a 65ft tube that is almost 6ft in diameter which can be carried by specially adapted submarines and launched like a torpedo.” That means nobody will see the nuclear menace coming.
