 Putin allies Nuke over Siberia warning resurfaces amid satellite threat. Controversial remarks made by a top Kremlin propagandist that suggested testing an atomic bomb over Siberia have resurfaced on social media amid a U.S. warning about Russia's space and nuclear capabilities, according to Newsweek. It is noted that a clip of Margarita Simonian, editor-in-chief of the Russian state-controlled media organization RT, speaking on state TV in October 2023, has been reshared on X by the Daily Beast's Julia Davis in light of a warning from a U.S. official of a serious national security threat. ABC News first reported that the warning came from Representative Mike Turner, Republican chair of the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee, saying that it was in relation to a Russian space-based nuclear weapon that could potentially be used on satellites. Simonian, a longtime ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, suggested that such an explosion would destroy all radio electronics and everything digital, including all of the satellites, cameras and phones. She claimed life would revert back to how it was in 1993 and that she'd be glad to live in a world with fewer gadgets. At least, I will no longer have to explain to my kids why everyone else has gadgets, except for them, she said. For Russia, a nuclear ultimatum is becoming inevitable, with no alternative, said Simonian. They will not back down until they feel a lot of pain or until they realize they're about to be in a lot of pain. Oh, so Simonian was serious when she talked about blowing up a nuclear bomb in space above Siberia, asked ex-user Vlada Nolten.
