A Russian politician discussed what the country would need to do to destroy the east and west coasts of the U.S. in a clip that has gone viral on social media.
While speaking on Russian state TV, Aleksey Zhuravlyov insisted Russia had the military capability to destroy America's coasts and said that the U.S. was trying to "raise the stakes."
The video has also gone viral on Twitter.
While the Russian politician makes his claims in the clip, an English translation can be seen running along the bottom of the page.
Newsweek was able to independently verify that the words accompanying the video match what is being said.

Poor Russia...
Any time I read or hear what any of these Russian mooks say I have to remind myself just how we got here, what the flash point was that started all this. And then I remember: there wasn't any - there is no fcking reason. Everything anyone from Russia has to say about any of this, all their lies and funny bullsht speculation on Russia TV is to cover for Putin. Total fwad.

Vladimir Putin claimed he invaded Ukraine over eastward expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. However, this video essay by RealLifeLore makes a convincing case that Russia did it for control of the country's natural resources.
Putin would NOT talk about this because his soldiers would want a cut of the money. Putin will not be increasing their wages by 1,000%, although he could if the Army does conquer Ukraine. All that petroleum and natural gas money is for Putin's bank account, not for the soldiers who make it possible by giving their lives for Putin to get richer and more powerful.

I meant to watch this last time you posted it - thanks. Caught the first 5 minutes so far - good stuff, high caliber. I'll definitely will check out more of this producer's videos. I'm looking forward to finding out how much oil Ukraine produces and why haven't they been known for producing an amount worth stealing (that I know of). And why they got rid of their nukes.

Customary international humanitarian laws and treaties — including the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their protocols — demand that the driving principle in war be military necessity, which mandates all combatants direct their actions toward legitimate military targets. The law requires a balance between a military mission and humanity. Combatants must not carry out attacks that are disproportionate, where the expected civilian harm is clearly excessive, according to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, to the direct and concrete military advantage that would be anticipated. Combatants must consider distinction, that attacks are directed only toward lawful targets and people and are not applied indiscriminately. And they must not use weapons calculated to inflict unnecessary suffering.
“The Russians have violated every single one of those principles almost daily,” said Mike Newton, a Vanderbilt University law professor who frequently supports efforts to prosecute war crimes all over the world.
“The law of war is far more demanding than the rule of simple expediency and convenience,” Professor Newton said. “Just because I have a weapon doesn’t mean I can use it.”

A Russian Navy submarine armed with a strategic nuclear torpedo the size of a school bus was delivered to the Kremlin this week. (July 8, 2022 11:12 AM)
Poseidon, first revealed in 2015, is a nuclear strategic weapon that would have a range of thousands of miles and would “destroy important economic installations of the enemy in coastal areas and cause guaranteed devastating damage to the country’s territory by creating wide areas of radioactive contamination, rendering them unusable for military, economic or other activity for a long time,” according to a translation of a Russian presentation caught on camera by the BBC.

The Poseidon "doomsday" device is designed to travel up to 5,000 nm at a speed of 50-100 knots, transit to a harbor or near-coastal area, and detonate a nuclear warhead. The immediate effects of the explosion would be extreme, but the real objective would be to coat wide swathes of the surrounding coastline with radioactive fallout - an enduring and difficult-to-remediate hazard of underwater nuclear detonations.

Commentators desperately cling to the hope that Putin is just one wild man, that around him are people who will eventually find the spine to overthrow him. Remarks were made recently by a representative of Rosneft, Russia’s largest state oil company. “You must have heard it,” Alyokhina says, with frustration, but no, I have not. “He promoted Adolf Hitler. He said that, of all the decisions in the west, the Anglo-Saxons are the most guilty people. The first nuclear bomb must be dropped on Great Britain. This is what we have, in our so-called news. They are speaking about nuclear bombs almost every day.”

Blinken accuses Russia of 'reckless, dangerous nuclear saber rattling'
(CNN)Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday called on Russia to live up to its nuclear arms control commitments, accusing Moscow of "reckless, dangerous nuclear saber rattling" as part of its war in Ukraine and warning of the negative impact the war will have on this month's conference to recommit to the importance of nuclear non-proliferation.
In remarks at the start of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference at the United Nations, the top US diplomat warned that the landmark agreement is "under increasing strain" due to not only the actions of Russia, but also of North Korea and Iran.
Officials have acknowledged the challenges that Russia's war in Ukraine will present at the review conference -- which is typically held every five years but had been delayed for two due to the coronavirus pandemic -- and the prospects of all parties agreeing to a consensus document at the conclusion of the month-long gathering.
In his remarks, Blinken noted that Russia had joined with the other NPT nuclear states -- the United States, United Kingdom, France, and China -- in a joint statement in January emphasizing the importance of avoiding nuclear war and arms races, but "the very next month, Russia launched a full scale invasion of Ukraine."

"It's engaging in reckless, dangerous nuclear saber rattling, with its president warning that those supporting Ukraine self-defense 'risk consequences such as you have never seen in your entire history,'" Blinken said.
Unlike in January, only three of the NPT nuclear states -- the US, UK, and France -- released a joint statement Monday at the start of the conference, in which they called on Russia "to cease its irresponsible and dangerous nuclear rhetoric and behaviour, to uphold its international commitments, and to recommit -- in words and deeds -- to the principles enshrined in the recent Preventing Nuclear War and Avoiding Arms Races Leaders' statement," referencing the one released in January.
Blinken said Russia's war is in violation of the UN Charter, the rules-based international order, and the Budapest Memorandum -- the 1994 agreement under which Russia pledged to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and Kyiv agreed to forfeit its nuclear weapon arsenal.
"What message does this send to any country around the world that may think that it needs to have nuclear weapons to protect, to defend, to deter aggression against its sovereignty and independence? The worst possible message," he said. "And so it's directly relevant to what's going on here this month at the United Nations."
"Most recently, we saw Russia's aggression with its seizure of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest such plant in all of Europe," Blinken continued. "Russia is now using the plant as a military base to fire at Ukrainians, knowing that they can't and won't shoot back because they might accidentally strike a reactor or highly radioactive waste in storage."
"That brings the notion of having a human shield to an entirely different and horrific level," he said.
Blinken says he had 'frank' discussion with Russian foreign minister in first call since Ukraine war began
Blinken contrasted the actions by Moscow to those of the US, which he said has sought to avoid escalation "by forgoing previously scheduled ICBM tests and not raising the alert status of our nuclear forces in response to Russian saber rattling."
"There is no place in our world, no place in our world for nuclear deterrence based on coercion, intimidation, or blackmail," he said.
Blinken also called out North Korea for its nuclear provocations, noting that "as we gather today, Pyongyang is preparing to conduct its seventh
