    So what? Are they going to launch a crackdown on the Ukrainians? Or are they trying to scare us again? Or did they bring in a new batch of red markers?

    They are teaching the population that "some will die, others will go to heaven."

      Well, I don't need to teach you anything. I feel like you've already made your choice. So I want to ask, where are you headed, to Hell or to Heaven? laughing

        The crests staged a coup in their own country.
        Russia, represented by Putin, recognized this coup and recognized Poroshenko and Zelensky.

          The crests never had their own country. People with this nickname were citizens of another country, the USSR. Yes

            It was this “non-country” that Putin recognized as a sovereign country.

              You can call Zelensky a crest, but he's not a khokhol. And he never was. smile

                How cleverly, in true Jewish fashion, you jumped from the topic of the crests to Zelensky's personality!
                Did anyone remember this Judas?

    Interesting! Does a warhead emit a lot or a little? And how do they protect against radiation?

    Just as pornography is not a substitute for sex, showing a nuclear warhead is not a threat to anyone.
    If the Kremlin is more afraid of the use of nuclear weapons than the West, who needs this demonstration?!

    Our country is fascinating. In every sense. And now another fascinating moment has arisen. They showed everyone the nuclear-powered Kinzhal. Well done! Before that, they showed the Sarmatians. And before that, there was a whole story about the Oreshnik. For the last five years, they've been showing, writing, and demonstrating a super tank, a super underwater nuclear drone—super, super, super. Question! Who needs this whole museum of "super" things? What's the point of these exhibits? Is anyone scared? Well, these Russians have everything, but you can hit them over the head, and they don't even think of responding with these "super" things. These Russians do nothing but bluff. The whole world is laughing at us. Not at the Foreign Ministry or the Kremlin, but at Russia. Shame!

    Those idiots in uniform apparently won't be able to build hangars for another 20 years; they're hanging a missile with a nuclear warhead in a field. Come on, Ukrainian drone.
