jlf1961 -> You know the cold war is back when... (3/17/2014 7:15:27 AM)

Dmitry Kiselyov, a Russian news anchor recently did a commentary on the situation in the Ukraine and the western country's response. His back ground image of choice, a mushroom cloud.

You know things are tense when people start talking about nuclear war.

A Russian television anchor has raised global eyebrows by noting in a commentary that Russia is "the only country in the world capable of turning the USA into radioactive dust."

Speaking on the Rossiya 1 news channel, Dmitry Kiselyov — who has supporters in the Kremlin — delivered a diatribe against critics of the Ukraine incursion with a picture of a mushroom cloud behind him.

At one point, Kiselyov attributed President Obama's increasingly gray hair to worries about Russia's nuclear arsenal.

Now the fact that Putin recently appointed this man to lead an official news agency probably does not mean he is the voice of Putin in the media. However he does seem to voice the same opinions of the Russian president.

I'm sure there will be a nice bonus in Kiselyov's check this month.

I think the Kremlin is trying to avoid another "We will bury you!" embarrassment by having the media say it instead of their leaders. It doesn't quite have the same impact though, does it?
