Russians can't be this stupid about reality.

This is what Russians are proud of, nuclear annihilation? That's a shame. Obviously, what Boris doesn't really speak to is the IBM Treaty. I mean even FOX knows that exists.

Boris isn't stand up comedy for Russia, right?

Prominent Russian TV host Dmitry Kiselyov, (click here) has said in a broadcast that "Russia is the only country in the world able to turn the USA into radioactive ashes". His inflammatory words are a step-up from the flurry of diplomatic discussions regarding the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. Standing in the studio, in front of an image of a large mushroom cloud and the words "Into radioactive ashes", Dmitry Kiselyov's news report sends a worrying message to the US. The report was broadcast as Crimea went to the polls to vote in the referendum, which has so far indicated that over 96 per cent of Crimeans want to re-join Russia. Kiselyov is well-known as the voicepiece of the Russian government and, as a loyalist to Russian President Vladimir Putin, is also no stranger to acid diatribes against the West... 

This is where Boris is getting his propaganda. The US has been holding military exercises in the area of North Korea. Of course, Russia is not that far away. "Dead Hand" is an old soviet term used during the Cold War for nuclear war.

I would not call the military exercises near North Korea minor either. North Korea has some submarines. I think it about six or so. They have been a source of concern of the region since the new leader took over.

The map? North Korea, China and Russia are in the same neighborhood. Just thought I'd mention that.

North Korea fired two short-rangeballistic missiles (click here) after it launched four into the sea off its eastern coast last week, escalating tensions as the U.S. and South Korea entered the second week of joint military drills.
The two missiles were fired shortly past 6 a.m. local time today and had a range of at least 500 kilometers (310 miles), South Korea’s Defense Ministry spokesman Kim Min Seok said at a briefing. He called the launches “a provocative act of saber-rattling.”
The six launches since Feb. 27 coincide with annual U.S.- South Korean military drills that draw thousands of American troops from abroad. They also came ahead of March 9 elections in North Korea, the first parliamentary ballot since leader Kim Jong Un took power in 2011...

This is not a major news service, but, it was interesting enough considering Japan and the US don't find missile launches a minor act of aggression. There is a chance these subs defected, but, unless there is an accounting of them somewhere, they are most likely simply gone.
 



Chosun TV (click here) is reporting that South Korean military have lost contact with two North Korean submarines that left their naval base in Hwanghae Province a few days ago. There has obviously been a lot of changes between last week and now and South Korean military officials suggested that while maneuvers in February were nothing meaningful, now it is provocation. The two 'torpedo' subs are small 130-ton, 30-meter, 10-man machines that can stay submerged for three-to-four days.   Click image below for link   Embed may not be working... 

See, the White House has been busy, but, the media is more content (for political purposes) would rather call him weak. To think otherwise means you pay attention. The drones may be scratching the surface.
