The propaganda of the Vladimir Putin regime is kept up to date in Russia, to the extent that the state media has issued a new nuclear threat to the US, boasting that it could wipe out the entire East and West coasts with four missiles.
The threat was expressed by Alexei Zhuravlev, a member of parliament and very close to Putin, who stressed: “There would be nothing left”, according to a Daily Mail report.
The report states that the “atomic mushroom” will be taller than a skyscraper and will be “visible from Mexico”.
Zhuravlev refers to Russia’s new Sarmat 2 nuclear bomb, which launched one more of these threats in state media, in an effort to get more support from its citizens about the invasion of Ukraine.
Zhuravlev’s comments occurred on Monday on Yevgeny Popov’s talk show, through the main channel Rossiya 1.
It adds that parliamentarians were discussing what an attack would look like to the United States based on a CBS News article from the end of April, assuring that the aggression against New York was calculated “incorrectly”, since it indicated that a bomb similar to the one in Hiroshima in 1945 could destroy much of Manhattan.
“I will competently tell you that to destroy the entire East Coast of the US, it takes two Sarmat missiles and two missiles for the west coast”, he assured.
The Russians have threatened to use nuclear weapons, after a few days after the invasion of Ukraine President Putin put on alert to the team that manages these devices of mass destruction.
President Joe Biden has responded to these threats by pointing out as “irresponsible” to make such comments.
At a press conference of the 28 of April, where he delved into his reform plan that he sent to Congress to improve aid to the government of Volodymyr Zelensky, the president was questioned about the growing comments from Russian officials and nuclear weapons.
“I they worry, because it shows Russia’s desperation at their abject failure in not being able to do what they set out to do in the first place. ance”, considered the president.
