Russian MP Yuri Shvytkin warned Finland and Sweden's decision to apply for NATO
membership could “move [Russia] one step closer to nuclear disaster”. Referring to the UK in particular, he threatened “if [Russia] have to”, the country would be ready to use its nuclear weapons and “destroy the whole of the UK in two minutes”. He blamed any potential action from Russia on the west and stressing that Moscow is “doing everything possible so that [a nuclear attack] doesn’t happen”.
I'm sure these people live under a rock do they not realize the UK nuclear defense is submarine based Trident no matter what they throw at this Island there will be a immediate reply with everything reportedly 225 warheads

I hope the people calling for us to dismantle our nuclear defences see the I importance it plays in our national security and the safety of our citizens.
We do need to massively increase armed forces spending and recruitment too though.

They are sheltered perhaps more so than North Korea. Nobody wins a exchange we would be lucky to return to the Stone Age. No their blowhard hype has been dismissed a long time ago never to be trusted again.

Wimbledon has said they are concerned with their tournament being used as propaganda by the Russian regime. Do you not understand their concerns?
Sport undoubtedly has outsized influence in world affairs, and it’s true that the successes of athletes have been lauded by the Russian regime. However, we cannot be certain that the decision to ban athletes is itself without negative consequences on this front. In fact, Russian exclusion by the rest of the world is consistently used as a proof point by the Russian propaganda machine in building nationalistic sentiment, justifying and rallying support domestically for the war in Ukraine.
Instead, we believe in the unifying power of sport, a view shared by many of our players. Many of the players affected by this decision in fact expressed a strong desire to use Wimbledon’s platform to promote solidarity and peace.
More broadly, we do not believe that individuals should be penalised on the basis of collective guilt due to the reprehensible actions of an autocratic government. This was a shared position across our sport when the decision was made in March 2022 to allow players from Russia and Belarus to continue to compete on the Tour as neutral athletes.
In addition, having individual tournaments make determinations about which conflicts or world events are deserving of action, and which are not, is deeply subjective and impossible to apply with consistency across our global Tour. This threatens to fracture our Tour and sow deep divisions. Instead, these judgements should be made as a collective under shared governance.

Two minutes? That would be a small mercy given that scenario. I'm sure Mr. Shvytkin would shvtkining his pants if his insane rhetoric ever came to pass.

I don't know what I'm supposed to be seeing here.
I don't get it, why would the Russians even make this video.
'Check out what we did to this city!'
They've inherited an empty shell of a city and generations of hate to come.
Because they acting as "liberators", its propaganda and stuff aimed at their domestic population. They acting as "liberating" Russian speaking population ( i think Mariupol was Russian speaking) from "Ukronazis" and their American "masters".
Thats the whole point and justification of war toward their domestic population. Ukraine is not independent, European states are not independent, all those are just American puddles taking orders from them. And this is fight back against American imperialism, thats pretty much how this war is being sold, and not just in Russia, but in all other states and regions around the world that historically despise America and Europe.
