Early this morning, Kremlin-controlled Sputnik News posted an ominous tweet tagged “@WhiteHouse,” showing a nuclear explosion model with the US Capitol at ground zero.

Vladimir Putin has an election this month, so he is putting on a grand show of badass bravado, announcing via Twitter today that Russia now has nuclear-powered cruise missiles with unlimited range. 

“A Russian military surveillance plane flew through secure airspace over Washington on Wednesday, passing near the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon and other government buildings.”

The report also claims that the Pentagon was “reduced to a state of ‘total fear'” over Khibiny’s capabilities and the forced grounding of US fighter jets in Alaska.

The Russians have a window of a couple of years and a golden opportunity to take out the United States. But, they must act soon. All they need is a reason, like our president attacking them or their allies.
