Moscow on Saturday threatened to reduce Kyiv to a "giant melted spot" if Ukraine is allowed by its allies to use Western long-range missiles to strike targets deep inside Russia.

The threat by Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, came as the U.S. and the U.K. are deliberating giving Kyiv permission to use Western weapons to attack strategic targets farther into Russian territory.

Medvedev, who likes to rattle nuclear sabers, said the Kremlin already has "formal" grounds to use nuclear weapons after Ukraine's cross-border incursion into Russia's Kursk region, but could instead utilize newer technologies to create a "giant melted spot" on the site of the Ukrainian capital.

What the hell planet are these idiots living on? Their entire wartime philosophy and administration of this incursion is absurd. And by the way, if Medvedev is threatening nuclear war, he best be prepared for what he’s asking for. None of us will like or want the outcome.

I have a suggestion for Medvedev but it’s anatomically impossible.
