This is the same guy who advocates genocide for gay people — and he’s not kidding one bit: State TV Says Russia Could Turn US to ‘Radioactive Ash’.
Moscow (AFP) - A leading anchor on Russian state television on Sunday described Russia as the only country capable of turning the United States into “radioactive ash”, in an incendiary comment at the height of tensions over the Crimea referendum.
“Russia is the only country in the world realistically capable of turning the United States into radioactive ash,” anchor Dmitry Kiselyov said on his weekly news show on state-controlled Rossiya 1 television.
Kiselyov made the comment to support his argument that the United States and President Barack Obama were living in fear of Russia led by President Vladimir Putin amid the Ukraine crisis.
And as this is happening, Glenn Greenwald is blatantly shilling for Russia’s sham referendum in Crimea with a sleazy and wholly disingenuous comparison — while at the same time, mocking and insulting anyone who points out he’s shilling for Russia.
Has Snowden condemned the earthquake in LA yet?

@jonlovett It’s immoral to compare what the US does to any of the Bad Countries. We are Good and that’s the difference.
