Russian state TV presenter Dmitry Kiselyov previously went even further, referring to defunct installations such as Fort Ritchie in Maryland and McClellan Air Force Base in California
So not only are they telling us what we already know, they're also telling us that their intelligence is significantly out of date.
The intended audience here is the Russian domestic one.
The TV show probably has no privileged information on war plans. The point is to create a narrative for the Russian public.
What narrative though?
Hurr durr look we strong. Support Putin for how strong he make us.
Yeah, something along those lines.
Russian Media Monitor has plenty of clips of Russian state television doing one variant on this or another, having hosts musing about how Russia could, if it wanted to, use nuclear weapons and wipe out the US or UK or Germany or France or Europe or whatever.

Ah, they've assembled a playlist of clips, which is apparently now up to 70 videos.

Nuclear threats on Russian state TV
Nothing these Russian equivalents of Fox or Truth Social assclowns say has any informational value at all. It doesn't indicate real Russian plans, says nothing about what Russian intelligence knows or doesn't know, it's just noise.
I'm kind of wondering if the plan here isn't to goad trump into retaliating by blurting out where our own missiles are pointed at.
They threw some obvious ones out there like the Pentagon (duh of course they have missiles pointed there)
And then padded out the list with some defunct sites to make the list longer because someone like Trump is going to want to one-up them by listing at least that many of our targets. Russia probably doesn't actually have missiles aimed at most of those places, but this way they don't actually have to give up any of their actual targets.
And trump will probably take the bait to beef up missile defences around those defunct sites, wasting money, time, manpower, and resources that could be better used anywhere else.
Trump's more likely to surrender than to retaliate. He's shit-scared of any sort of confrontation unless his side has an overwhelming advantage.
Or… that’s the impression they’re putting on public television.
Name credible and strategic sounding targets on domestic TV, while ensuring the actual targets make more sense.
What would make a better target than our leadership and nuclear response sites?
thats why they need krasnov to give them on update details on nuclear capabilities, nuke subs placements etc.
I bet /c/noncredibledefense could come up with a better list of first-strike targets as a joke
ooo the Pentagon. How original
The Hexagon is where the real plans are made.
for a second I thought you were talking about France, and no, we don't make plans here
Is it a Hexagon now with Space Force? The memes can't even keep up with reality.
Oh look, nuclear sabre rattling again.
I'm always comforted in knowing that I'm completely bracketed by targets and won't die in the fire but instead by the fallout.
So, he’s not going to do anything and likely has nothing... He barks so much that he’s like a Yorkie in 6” lifts.
The regime as a media troll. FUD for us, laughs for them. And their people gobble it up.
At least that's the intent - the fediverse is not FUDed at all, and I wonder how many Russians see through the simplicity and obviousness of the charade. Probably more than we think, but what can they do about it.
Who'd have thought we'd get a Soviet Union 2.0.
Who’d have thought we’d get a Soviet Union 2.0.
Putin's worse than any Soviet leader except Stalin.
He-heeeey! I wonder how would Trump & Co. play this down, with him hard at work suck- I mean working on relations with Russia.
Meh.. I doubt Russians would hit military targets, but keep in eye on kindergarten and hospitals, there’s a chance they’ll hit.
Not what I wanted for Christmas.
We need to advertise Free Trump-Signed Bibles in all of those states.
Do it pussy
Hah. Which years did you vote for Trump?
