Dmitry Kiselev threatened the United States with nuclear war
In the next episode of the final program “News of the Week,” TV presenter Dmitry Kiselyov casually stated that Russia is capable of launching a nuclear strike on the United States if necessary. Kiselyov’s statements gave rise to heated discussions on the RuNet.
Kiselyov’s words were heard in Vesti Nedeli while discussing the referendum in Crimea on the republic’s annexation to Russia. The TV presenter noted that Barack Obama has recently turned noticeably gray, linking this with the fact that the US President is increasingly holding long telephone conversations with Vladimir Putin.
I admit that this is a coincidence, but objectively, [Obama] is a difficult interlocutor. Dmitry Kiselev
Dmitry Kiselyov noted that Russia is the only country that is “capable of turning the United States into radioactive ash.” After this, the presenter of Vesti Nedeli said that on January 22, the day after the telephone conversations between Putin and Obama, the government Rossiyskaya Gazeta published material about the Perimeter system of guaranteed nuclear retaliation. Then Kiselyov repeated that it was after the release of this material that the US President began to call his colleague from Russia more often and began to turn grayer.
In the same story, Kiselyov noted that “gray hair suits Obama” and makes his appearance “more noble.”
about Kiselyov’s statements about “radioactive ash.” wrote Dozens of Russian media outlets “Moskovsky Komsomolets”, for example, fit the entire news into two sentences, one of which interprets the public reaction to “News of the Week”.
The opposition saw this as a “threat to the States”; patriots interpret the TV presenter’s words as a rhetorical emphasis on Russia’s confident position in the world community, which has taken up arms against our country as a united front because of the events in Ukraine. "Moscow's comsomolets"
Western publications also spoke about Dmitry Kiselev’s statements. The notes are provided with a detailed background about the TV presenter’s pro-Kremlin position, which he does not hide, his previous high-profile statements (for example, about the need to burn the hearts of gays ) and his appointment as general director of the MIA “Russia Today”, created on the basis of RIA Novosti. The last circumstance, Western journalists explain to readers, indicates direct support for Kiselyov by the Kremlin.
The words about “radioactive ash” became one of the main topics of discussion in the Russian-language blogosphere immediately after the airing of the “News of the Week” episode.
Radioactive ash.

I think the EU and the US will appreciate Kiselyov’s joke about turning the US into radioactive ash when adopting a package of sanctions against Russia.

About the insanity of D. Kiselev. Psychopathy in a particularly dangerous form for the country: “turn the United States into nuclear ashes” was avoided even during the Cold War!

Praise be to the Gods! Twitter is still working, which means Kiselev has not yet launched a nuclear strike on the USA)

It is also necessary for Putin to turn to the Federation Council for consent to turn the United States into radioactive ash.

Are you fools or what? Kiselev did NOT threaten the US with a nuclear strike. He said that if anything happens, we can ANSWER. It's about defense, not attack.

Some users recalled that despite his homophobic statements, Kiselev traveled with his family to Amsterdam, where gay marriage (as well as the use of recreational drugs) is legal. The TV presenter did not advertise the trip, but bloggers discovered him in Holland.
With a joint in an Amsterdam gay bar, it must be so nice to dream about turning the United States into radioactive ash. And in the evening there is a striptease in the hotel.

I understand why Kiselev stayed late in Amsterdam, had one last laugh

Based on Kiselyov’s statements, several jokes appeared, ridiculing both the TV presenter himself and the blogosphere’s reaction to his statements.
It is not known exactly what relation Dmitry Kiselyov has to nuclear weapons, but he was irradiated somewhere specifically. It is a fact.
