MOSCOW - 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.

Hard to believe there are people in the world this stupid. Stupid enough to run their yap in front of the world's media about turning other countries to 'ash' etc. You can bet your ass if an American journalist said something like this about Russia or any other country for that matter he would be literally fucking crucified for it. As well, Russian leaders would be crying for his head.
Is this really the mentality over there? "We could nuke you back to the stone age" ??? You know something is wrong with a government when their talking heads are spouting this kind of doomsday crap again like it was the 50's all over again.
