Today is another day when I feel compelled to thank the heavens that John McCain and Sarah Palin are not in charge of our foreign policy:
A Kremlin-backed journalist issued a stark warning to the United States about Moscow’s nuclear capabilities on Sunday as the White House threatened sanctions over Crimea’s referendum on union with Russia.
“Russia is the only country in the world that is realistically capable of turning the United States into radioactive ash,” television presenter Dmitry Kiselyov said on his weekly current affairs show.
Behind him was a backdrop of a mushroom cloud following a nuclear blast.
Kiselyov was named by President Vladimir Putin in December as the head of a new state news agency whose task will be to portray Russia in the best possible light.
This Kiselyov guy is a real winner. Apparently, he’s on the record as saying that the organs of homosexuals should never be used for transplants because obviously it is better to be dead than to have gay cooties.
He ought to get a clue. Russia can turn us into radioactive ash, but only at the cost of being turned to radioactive ash themselves. Human life would probably not survive the exchange.
There is no reason to go around spouting off stupid threats. If you make people nervous, the next thing you know someone mistakes a flock of birds for a missile and we’re all dead.
