 Putin's head propagandist Margarita Simonyan yesterday on Simonyan's own show (pic: screenshot) proposed nuking Russia, more specifically Siberia, saying there is nothing wrong with a nuclear explosion over Siberia and that because it is hundreds of kilometers away [uhhm, people do live in Siberia...] there will be no resulting nuclear winter, no resulting cancer deaths, but all radio electronics and satellites will be disabled to take revenge on the "West".

Obviously astounding lunacy, so I hope I won't have to comment in detail...

“We'll go back to something like 1993 – with wired telephones. We lived wonderfully... I forbid my children from having gadgets, then I won’t have to explain why everyone has gadgets and they don't", selfish Simonyan went on to explain.

Today, politicians and others are responding e.g. calling for prosecution for suggesting nuking Russia.
