Russian propagandists have threatened to usher in WW3 by calling for a massive nuclear attack to devastate London in order to teach "scoundrels" living in Britain a lesson
Propagandists paid by Vladimir Putin to threaten the world have called for exploding a nuclear bomb over London.
The "test" would aim to cripple the British capital and "the lights will go out like in Spain," said the Russian state TV propaganda show. Putin’s TV warriors claimed that the dictator had protested in his phone call to Donald Trump over Ukraine targeting British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles and multiple drones at Moscow as foreign dignitaries arrived to attend a major military parade marking the end of the Second World War. Yet the claim is wrong - the range of Storm Shadow missiles supplied to Ukraine is insufficient to reach Moscow from Ukrainian territory.
The blaming of Britain was started by long standing Putin aide Yury Ushakov as he spoke to the media about the call with Trump. “Our president emphasised the importance of the recent anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War [Second World War] and recalled that Russia had announced a three-day ceasefire ahead of the celebration,” he said.
"After that, in the early morning hours….Ukraine launched 524 drones and Storm Shadow missiles at Russia, most of which were aimed at Moscow. Practically all of them were downed."
Putin also told Trump about a supposed foiled terror plot near the Kremlin and Red Square, he alleged. In the propaganda TV broadcast, Putin’s leading propagandist Vladimir Solovyov said nuclear targets included London - as well as Finland and Sweden.
"London....there was the statement of our president [Vladimir Putin],” said pro-Putin war fanatic and propagandist Igor Marko,: evidently referring to Ushakov’s remarks. There were Storm Shadow, British missiles flying at Moscow [on 7 May]."
This amounted to a “declaration of war” by Britain, he claimed. Solovyov said: “That’s why I say [we should target] London.”
Markov asked: “British planning, British missiles, an attack on Moscow. How long are we going to put up with these scoundrels?” Solovyov said the nuclear missile flight time to London from Russia’s testing ground at Kapustin Yar was between ten and eleven minutes.
He said rather than the “cruelty” of a tidal wave-causing atomic explosion that would drown Britain, there should be “a demonstration nuclear explosion over London”. This would disable all essential services with a powerful electromagnetic storm.
Solovyov rambled about Britain being a “miserable state of people without chins, swampy.”
The closest distance from Ukraine to Moscow is around 310 miles. But the range of Storm Shadow and equivalent French variant SCALP-EG missiles supplied to Kyiv is around 155 miles.
This is not the first time Russian propagandists have threatened the UK, with Solovyov and his nodding goons previously revelling in ushering in mass destruction across the UK and other parts of Europe.
