A leading anchor on Russian state television on Sunday described Russia as the only country capable of turning the United States into "radioactive ash", in an incendiary comment at the height of tensions over the Crimea referendum.
"Russia is the only country in the world realistically capable of turning
the United States into radioactive ash," anchor Dmitry Kiselyov said on his
weekly news show on state-controlled Rossiya 1 television.
Kiselyov made the comment to support his argument that the United States and
President Barack Obama were living in fear of Russia led by President
Vladimir Putin amid the Ukraine crisis.
.
He stood in his studio in front of a gigantic image of a mushroom cloud
produced after a nuclear attack, with the words "into radioactive ash".

Putin last year appointed Kiselyov head of the new Russia Today news agency
that is to replace the soon to be liquidated RIA Novosti news agency with
the aim of better promoting Russia's official position.

Looks like it's back to a 1980's foreign policy. To the Leftists that meant that the USA must dismantle its nuclear weapons, lest it start a nuclear war. That is ongoing, so not much has changed.
