Summary

Russian lawmaker threatened the U.S. with total destruction on state TV after reports that the Biden administration authorized Ukraine to use American-made ATACMS missiles for strikes deep into Russia.

Gurulev also claimed Russia could destroy NATO allies England and France with a single nuclear strike.

Meanwhile, Russia intensified its offensive, launching massive airstrikes on Kyiv and deploying 50,000 troops, including 10,000 North Koreans, to the Kursk region, though facing heavy losses.

        My brain still hasn’t gotten to the acceptance stage where I fully realize trump actually IS going to be president again.

        Like…it still feels like a bad dream I’m going to wake up from.

        Which, if that’s true, it means you’re all figments of my dream world. So, bad news for you. From your perspective, either trump is president, or I wake up and this entire world simply ceases to exist.

      I think the North Korean’s might be better trained… 3rd best army in Russia?

      Not sure how relevant Wagner is now, but possibly even fourth best army in Russia?

    Did he give any particular timeframe for this claim, or is he hoping the heat death of the universe will do the work for him?

      Mass extinction due to the rapidly changing climate worsened by the sheer volume of hot air coming from Moscow will get us long before Russian Soviet – like they have anything more modern – nukes.

    Honestly would be hilarious. Considering their last missile test launch exploded in the silo. If there was a nuke inside, it would likely cause a chain reaction blowing up adjacent missiles. Oh, imagine russia’s other depo explosions that kept burning for days after the initial strike that was already strong enough to create a mushroom cloud, but like WAY BIGGER!

    It’s funny they took this long to saber rattle this hard, before their heavily demonstrated incompetence, I might’ve been a little scared.

    I am ready to see rich people’s kids go to freeze their ass off in the ruzzian tundra to defend and Avenge “Mara Lago!”. I understand if putin needs to start his attack there. It’s such a, the most important and significant national thing that all of us Americans would be deeply affected by if some outside force were to invade it. Maralago is spelled man, the la. Then go. Near or in the state called Florida by the way.
