Why would Putin want to nuke Florida?

Why would Putin want to nuke Florida?

President Putin has unveiled Russia's new stockpile of "invincible" nuclear weapons, with a video graphic appearing to show missiles raining on Florida.

But why would the Kremlin want to target the Sunshine State in the event of an atomic war?

Florida is home to tourist attractions such as Walt Disney World and the Everglades National Park.

But it also has high-profile targets including President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.

A spokesman for the US Defence Department said the Pentagon was "not surprised" by Mr Putin's rhetoric.

"The American people should rest assured that we are fully prepared," said Dana White from the Pentagon, downplaying the Russian threat.

Mr Putin's video shows a brief animation of multiple nuclear warheads heading for the Panhandle.

There are several nuclear bunkers at President Trump's Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, where he has spent a number of weekends since taking office.

The cereal heiress who built Mar-a-Lago in 1927 had three of them installed during the Korean War.

There is another bomb shelter at Mr Trump's golf course a few miles away in West Palm Beach (under the second hole, according to Esquire).

Another bunker was created for President John F Kennedy not far from Mar-a-Lago.

It is located on Peanut Island, a 10-minute journey from a Palm Beach house where Kennedy often stayed.

Yet no bunker, however brilliantly assembled, will survive a direct hit, say experts.

The panhandle of florida is like 400 miles from Mar-a-Lago.

Not that it really matters. If they drop nukes on the US, the world is pretty much over as we know it, and several billion people are going to die, and any survivors will be spinning tales and lore about the "before time" to wide eyed, rickety youngsters around a fire.

Putin wants to utterly destroy 42. He doesn't care about any other Americans, just wants to annihilate 42... :tea:

Apparently the BBC revised their copy after somebody told them that the area of Florida depicted in the video is not actually the panhandle. That sentence is missing from the current version of the article.

It's nothing to do with American politics. 42 once insulted Putin in a nightclub in Transylvania, and its been churning him up ever since...

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.
