“Give the British three days to learn to breathe underwater”.
Russian MP warns nuclear strike would destroy UK in two minutes
Vladimir Putin’s leading TV attack dog called for a nuclear strike on Britain in a chilling threat as World War 3 fears erupt. It comes following the revelation that UK killer drones are now being used by Ukraine for strikes deep inside Russia.
Vladimir Solovyov also demanded British arms factories should be hit and ships sunk that carry weapons to Ukraine. “Hit them with Poseidon [underwater nuclear drone],” he demanded in a primetime broadcast on state TV. “Give the British three days to learn to breathe underwater, then hit them with Poseidon.” Russia’s Poseidon underwater nuclear drone will be capable of inflicting a coastal nuclear explosion, washing a radioactive tidal wave over Britain when the weapon comes on stream, claim Moscow military sources. Last month, Putin claimed the sinister weapon is nearing completion, and will be ready to be deployed soon.

The ranting propagandist Solovyov said the British Embassy in Moscow should be closed and UK journalists removed from Russia.
“When will they finally get rid of all these British journalists [in Moscow], all this vomiting anti-Russian scum, from here….?
“Drive them all out of here, and close the [British] embassy and kick them out.”
Vladimir Kornilov, another Kremlin propagandist, said Britain should be “nervous” over the revelation UK drones are striking deep inside Russia.
“They write with pride that finally British drones are hitting Russian enterprises, they name these enterprises,” he said.
“They cite an anonymous source from the British Ministry of Defence who says that Russia has been keeping us on edge the whole time….
“Now we’re showing Russia, we’re not nervous anymore….The bad thing is that they’re not nervous. Of course they should be.”

He threatened: “If British newspapers are boasting that their drones are already hitting civilian targets deep in Russia, then surely we can do the same. Or is that something else entirely?”
Solovyov said: “Now, strikes deep into Russia are being carried out with British weapons…this is classic Anglo-Saxon warfare. We need to understand who we’re fighting and respond asymmetrically…. ”
“We shouldn’t pay attention to what they say or what they think. They need to be destroyed.
“Starting with the Baltic states, through which drones have flown again, ending with the ports in Romania through which they’re importing weapons, with factories in England, Italy, France, and Germany, we need to sink their ships that are transporting military supplies for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
“And don’t even worry about it. There’s no point.”

This came as hardline MP Andrey Lugovoy claimed Britain had been intimidated by Vladimir Putin’s warning Russia could arrest Western ships in the Pacific and other oceans in retaliation for the impounding of the Kremlin’s shadow fleet vessels.
“The British attempt to legalise piracy ended in another flop. Was it worth the risk?
“Vladimir Putin’s promise to respond in kind to the West’s seizure of Russian ships forced London to admit that its strength is no longer what it once was. England is no longer the ‘mistress of the seas’.”
