After Putin's warning, Russian TV lists nuclear targets in U.S.
« on: February 25, 2019, 04:00:47 pm »
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian state television has listed U.S. military facilities that Moscow would target in the event of a nuclear strike, and said that a hypersonic missile Russia is developing would be able to hit them in less than five minutes.

The targets included the Pentagon and the presidential retreat in Camp David, Maryland.

The report, unusual even by the sometimes bellicose standards of Russian state TV, was broadcast on Sunday evening, days after President Vladimir Putin said Moscow was militarily ready for a “Cuban Missile”-style crisis if the United States wanted one.

Nothing on the list would surprise anyone.

This is further proof that Trump is colluding with his pal, Putin. /s

Or to persuade and embolden  the No. Koreans, to not make deals with the US?

The left has always been very silly in their beliefs around 'collusion' that they want someone to do their bidding like a Manchurian Candidate.

Whether it was Trump, Hillary, or someone else, the way Russia has always operated is to not have 'puppets' but to create confusion and distrust in opponents systems.

They work differently than us (and than they did when they were the Soviet Union). They don't install puppets, they install distrust and chaos.

I don't think they cared if Trump or Hillary won, they cared that everyone is split and focusing inward instead of outward.
