Russia can turn U.S. to radioactive ash: Kremlin-backed journalist

[plank]

A Kremlin-backed journalist issued a stark warning to the United States about Moscow's nuclear capabilities on Sunday as the White House threatened sanctions over Crimea's referendum on union with Russia.

"Russia is the only country in the world that is realistically capable of turning the United States into radioactive ash," television presenter Dmitry Kiselyov said on his weekly current affairs show.

Behind him was a backdrop of a mushroom cloud following a nuclear blast.

Kiselyov was named by President Vladimir Putin in December as the head of a new state news agency whose task will be to portray Russia in the best possible light.

His remarks took a propaganda war over events in Ukraine to a new level as tensions rise in the East-West standoff over Crimea, a southern Ukrainian region which is now in Russian forces' hands and voted on Sunday on union with Russia.

Russian television showed images of ethnic Russians in Crimea dancing, singing and celebrating the referendum but followed them with accusations that Kiev's new authorities and the West have allowed ultra-nationalists to attack Russian-speakers in eastern Ukraine.

You never see the US say things like this. Sounds like he's scared to me.

What east-west standoff? All I see is Putin doing whatever he wants and the rest of the world hemming and hawing.

The U.S. can turn Russia in to radioactive ash too. However we dont feel the need to brag about it, we just kick ass.

In all seriousness, I hope to God nothing like that ever happened, it would be the end of all humanity.

Honestly, IF the people of that country want to be part of Russia, and have ALL voted to be part of that country, then let them have that.

I know this is going to sound bad, but At least Russia puts action behind there words and actually has a set.

Agree, but what would people think of us if we entered N. Mexico cause native americans are there. But that kind of statement is BS

Ive been reading up on WW2 and we waited til the last minute to fight, later than we should have. No one was calling are president a pussy, and things then were way worse. Russia and China together have 1/7th of the size navy we have combined. Not saying I want war with them. Just isolate them and wait for they're next move.

U might think this is crazy, but I think a lot of these uprisings in all the different parts of the world, some how our government,CIA or whatever agency,is behind a lot of it.
