Russia State TV Stands by Nuclear Threat: Ireland as 'Collateral Damage'

[TexasTowelie]

On Sunday, a Russian state TV host refused to apologize for recently broadcasting a graphic that showed Ireland being destroyed during a simulated nuclear attack and instead referred to the country as "collateral damage" in a potential conflict.

Micheál Martin, Ireland's taoiseach or prime minister, had called on Russia-1 host Dmitry Kiselyov to apologize for airing an animated graphic on May 1 that depicted a strike off Ireland's coast that annihilated both Ireland and Britain. Kiselyov instead said an apology should come from British Prime Minister Boris Johnson for what the Russian host claimed was a "groundless threat" made against Russia by the British leader.

Kiselyov also brushed off the outrage from Martin and the Irish public.

"Ireland literally flew into a rage. Of course as a neutral country, it wasn't nice for Ireland to become collateral damage in Britain's clash with Russia," Kiselyov said on his program, according to The Irish Times.
