Putin should 'sink damned Britain' beneath the sea says warmongering crony as the Russian dictator marks 72nd birthday with nuclear missile drills
Vladimir Putin should obliterate damned Britain by sinking it under the sea, demanded former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev.
Vladimir Putin should obliterate damned Britain by sinking it under the sea, demanded former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev.
The threat came as the Kremlin staged strategic missile drills with its nuclear-capable Yars rockets in Siberia marking the dictators 72nd birthday amid high tension with the West.
Giant mobile launchers were driven on remote routes in the Novosibirsk region of southern Russia to exercise in finding positions to launch nuclear strikes.
The dictators crony was responding on his Telegram channel to a claim by sports star Yelena Välbe that all Kremlin problems would be solved by bombing London.
Our famous skier Yelena Välbe suggested dropping a bomb on London, said Medvedev, now Putins deputy on the Kremlins security council.
Thats right, of course, but we need to solve the problem at its root and immediately sink the damned island of Anglo-Saxon dogs.

His vitriol reflects the Kremlin calculation that the UK is Ukraines strongest international supporter, and keenest advocate of the US green lighting the use of Western long range missiles to hit Russian territory.
Skier Välbe, 56, a highly decorated sportswoman and now president of the Russian Cross-Country Skiing Federation, declared: I think that if we threw some serious bomb in the centre of London, everything would have ended by now, and wed be allowed everywhere.
You know, Russias struggle with the outside world has been going on for centuries. Weve never been loved.
Even when they pretended to let us in everywhere, they still didnt like us.
As I say, theyre always standing with a dagger behind their back.
I love when the country is strong, and I suppose its our strength that irritates the whole world.
She somehow believed that if Britain was destroyed other countries would stop boycotting Russia, including allowing it back into the Olympics.

If you imagine that in any of the past six centuries, the British Isles suddenly sank into the ocean, then for the rest of the world, indeed, there would be fewer problems for a certain time, he said.
But imagining that Britain no longer existed others will take the place that becomes vacant, he warned.
Former boxer Nikolai Valuev, 51, now a Putin-backing MP for Kremlin-loyal United Russia Party, said: If you imagine that in any of the past six centuries, the British Isles suddenly sank into the ocean, then for the rest of the world, indeed, there would be fewer problems for a certain time.

Putin s propagandists and entourage have repeatedly warned that he could use nuclear weapons
Dmitry Kiselyov, 70, seen as the autocrats most trusted TV mouthpiece, recently warned that the UK would become a target if Britain gave the go-ahead to Ukraine to fire its Storm Shadow missiles at Russian territory.
Images of the Yars launchers were obtained from the Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) on Monday, 7th October, along with a statement claiming: Autonomous launchers of the Yars mobile ground-based missile system have been deployed on combat patrol routes in the Novosibirsk missile division.
The Russian MoD added: The strategic missile troops are working on tasks and objectives, including intensive manoeuvring actions on combat patrol routes as part of their combat duty.
The crews of the Yars mobile ground-based missile systems are conducting marches of up to 100 kilometres, carrying out activities for the engineering preparation of field positions, organising camouflage, and ensuring combat security.
The servicemen will also practise countering sabotage and reconnaissance groups.
These planned combat training activities allow for testing the readiness of personnel, as well as the armament and military equipment, for extended duty in field conditions.
Separately, a propaganda channel simulated a Russian nuclear strike on London that would cause 850,000 deaths with two million injured.
The broadcast of the four minute video with an English commentary last month is seemingly part of a concerted campaign to scare Britain from giving permission to Ukraine to allow Storm Shadow missiles to hit targets inside Russia.
Putins propagandists and entourage have repeatedly warned that he could use nuclear weapons, though Ukraine has long labelled the threats as merely sabre-rattling aimed at deterring its allies from providing further support.
