This claim, that did the media rounds, was made by Russian TV by pro-Putin speakers, to no doubt deliver a message to the West on the Ukraine affair. The world is itching ever closer to world war, and Russia is not showing any intent to back down from this final game of “chicken” that is being played. Apparently, two Russian Satan II missiles, fired hypersonically, could destroy the entire US west coast. I imagine if that was done, the US would still fire everything it has at Russia. China might think that this is a good thing, taking out two rivals, like the old Chinese proverb goes of sitting on a mountain top watching two tigers destroy each other. But the old proverb knew nothing of radioactive fallout. Surviving Han Chinese will have to live underground for centuries if the final battle happens.
