Russian news host says Russia should strike Brussels, London and Paris

This is totally insane. From Russian Media Monitor:

This is a clip from the "Russian state TV show “The Evening With Vladimir Solovyov."

Some highlights: Discussing the new U.S. stance on Ukraine: “And forget about Article 5. Don’t even dream of American troops. Do you think we will pay? No, do it yourselves. You’re on your own—and without us."

“In this situation, unless the U.S. is bluffing… we should make this thought clear to the europeans. Now we can actually strike Brussels, London, and Paris.” Another member of the panel immediately says, “I like the way you think.”

Take over Greenland. Take over Gaza. Take over Canada. Take over the Panama Canal.

Just spewing whatever crap they they can conceive of to sow chaos.

I have cousins in Brussels. Those cities have a combined population of millions. This is insanity to even talk about it.

But let us be real. Their Ukraine invasion went so bad for them, they had a mercenary insurrection, had to recruit North Korean troops, and lost some of their own land in the process.

I do not think Russia is the threat they project.

I do not think Putin is the mastermind many assume.

Because they've lost everything else in Ukraine. thanks to Biden's leadership we crippled the Russian military without a single drop of our soldier's blood

about it, just noticed that bookmark now:

Meanwhile in Russia: Sergey Mikheyev says that in light of the Trump administration's express intent to abandon NATO allies in case they intervene in Ukraine, Russia should strike Brussels, London and Paris. Vladimir Solovyov wholeheartedly agrees.
