Re: Run-up to WW3

I see Dmitry Kiselev (Putins mouthpiece) spent a bit of time on Russian TV saying that Russia should set off an underwater 100 megaton nuclear drone and create a 500 metre high radioactive tsunami and wipe out Ireland and Britain.

Since Russia now considers it part of Russia, nuclear escalation is possible if it is threatened. See article: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/3/22/ru...
