Putin propagandists have made horror comments about the UK as tensions skyrocket.

Russian state TV, which pumps out Vladimir Putin propaganda, has chillingly discussed wiping a British city “off the face of the earth”, as well as destroying a UK military base and our submarine nuclear deterrent. The discussion advocating the use of atomic weapons against the UK was hosted by the Russian dictator’s TV propagandist, Vladimir Solovyov, along with fanatical pro-war pundit Igor Markov.
Russian viewers were told that Moscow should destroy Britain’s Trident nuclear deterrent. Solovyov demanded: “Which city do you like the least….? Which city should be wiped off the face of the earth?” Markov – a pro-Putin zealot and fugitive Ukrainian former MP from Odesa – insisted: “I don’t think we need to wipe out a city. We need to wipe out a military base—preferably a British one, along with all its submarines.”

Britain’s nuclear deterrent is entirely based on four Vanguard-class nuclear-powered ballistic-missile submarines.
“The main snake in the grass there [in the West] is the British,” said Markov.
“We all understand that perfectly well. If they won’t listen to reason, then – so to speak – we need to explain it to them in a way that finally gets through.”
This involved a nuclear strike. Solovyov – paid a millionaire’s salary by the Russian state’s TV empire to pump out Putin narratives – said: “We have two options — Sarmat, [aka Satan-2, Russia’s largest nuclear strike weapon], and Poseidon,” [a high-speed underwater atomic drone]. Markov suggested unleashing Burevestnik on Britain.

This is a missile system – still in testing, like the other two – which is nicknamed the Flying Chernobyl, because it has its own nuclear reactor.
It is viewed by critics as likely to be unsafe and accident-prone.
Reflecting the Moscow view that the UK is Putin’s most vocal Western enemy, Markov said: “After all, our main adversary – our centuries-old enemy – the ones who have driven everyone to the end of their tether… You know, it’s all those British *******s.
“They’re doing all of this on purpose.”
