Fallout From Satan Ii

brilliant flash eyes blind 
          split firmament nuclear blast 
             fire ball mushroom cloud
            melting concrete acid rain 
              lucky ones ~ evaporate 
  

 RS-28 Sarmat = Satan II
  Russian nuclear missile

Tom Cunningham April 28, 2022 at 10:53 PM The man is unhinged, the worry is if he feels backed into a corner he might press the button. Lets hope it explodes on takeoff. Tom David Kavanagh April 28, 2022 at 11:53 PM Absolutely Tom, we really have no control over his nuclear weapons, sure we could knock a few of them out, but with nearly 6000 nuclear warheads in his back pocket, there will be no winners just victims, he really is unhinged, and must be dealt with accordingly, ie very carefully, cheers David
