Russian propagandist escalates WW3 tensions with nuclear warning to 'kill all British people'

The Russians really seem to have a bee in their bonnet about the UK, as one of their propagandists has been directing some particularly threatening comments at good old Blighty.

Under Vladimir Putin's regime the propaganda machine in Russia is cranking out lots of content to make sure the brutal dictator's take on things is getting out there among the public.

It's a common thing for such regimes to flood the airwaves with 'their truth' so it becomes all that people hear, and Putin has plenty of lapdogs to do his barking for him.

Natalya Sindeyeva, co-founder of an independent Russian TV channel that was shut down over their coverage of the invasion of Ukraine, previously warned that most Russians believe Putin's propaganda.

Putin has his cronies go on Russian TV to parrot his lines and boast about how all it would take is a few missiles to wipe out Europe in about 200 seconds.

Chief on their list of targets is the UK, and one of Putin's main mouthpieces in this regard is a man called Vladimir Solovyov.

He's a pro-Kremlin TV anchor in Russia who in the past has claimed 'one Sarmat [missile] means minus one Great Britain', as he spoke of how Russia could nuke the UK, describing Britain as 'totally boorish' for supplying Ukraine with weapons to fight the Russian invasion.

He also recently said that any UK troops who step foot in Ukraine 'will all die', adding that his threat extends to 'the French too'.

That seems to be a response to British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer saying he was 'ready and willing' to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine to provide security guarantees in the event of a ceasefire, and French President Emmanuel Macron signing up to the plan.

So, it's safe to say Solovyov has a habit of talking about killing Brits, and now he's coughed up another warning.

On his TV show he claimed that the UK and US were 'directly waging war against us', and launched into a rant about 'consequences' the countries would face.

He said: "You don't understand the main thing. We see right through your coalition of peacemakers, who are not peacemakers but basically interventionists, will be destroyed.

"You have to realise that not only the frontline units you're planning to deploy on the territory of Ukraine will be destroyed, but since we can't perceive it in any other way other than the direct participation of your countries, you will feel the consequences, the likes of which you have never seen."

His guest on the show, Margarita Simonyan, RT's editor-in-chief, chimed in to say: "It's not that they may perish. They will certainly perish. We will kill them all."

Big talk from a country that's three years into their three day invasion of Ukraine and has only managed to take about 20 percent of it.
