Putin’s propagandists who have gleefully discussed on Russian state TV how the UK could be turned into a “radioactive desert” in a single nuclear strike.Putin’s propaganda mouthpiece Dmitry Kiselyov described how two Russian super-weapons each had the capability to wipe the British Isles off the map.Russia could obliterate the UK with its new hypersonic Satan-2 missile, he said.Alternatively, Kiselyov boasted, Russia has the option to “plunge Britain into the depths of the sea” with its “underwater robotic drone Poseidon”.This would “raise a giant wave, a tsunami, up to 500 metres [1,640ft] high”, he told viewers on his Vesti Nedeli talkshow.The surging water - reaching almost halfway up Scafell Pike in the English Lake District - would contain “high doses of radiation”, turning what is left of Britain into a “radioactive desert”, he predicted.
