Ms. Davis of the Daily Beast should know that this is not "more of the usual" — and that Russian contradictions are the very least of our justified worries. The speaker is Lt. Gen. Andrei Gurulev. He.is also a member of the Duma, Russia's parliament. His is the manner of casual, freak-show talk about nuclear devastation by which the Russian people are being deluged, deluded and softened. There is something exceptionally frightening going on inside the Kremlin and among Vladimir Putin's hardest hardliners. And the West should let them know in what is commonly termed "no uncertain terms" that Russia is backing itself into a devastating corner of its own.
Meanwhile in Russia, more of the usual: nuclear threats against Germany and Britain, cautioning NATO against going into Ukraine. This directly clashes with their lies, constantly spewed by state TV, that Russia is already at war with NATO & "uniformed NATO troops" are in Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/ioMgbrzhbF
