There is no formal US policy to break up Russia.
Russian propagandist Margarita Simonyan called for detonating a nuclear bomb over Siberia.
She said that if a thermonuclear explosion is carried out over Siberia, then supposedly “there will be no nuclear winter, and no one will die from cancer, but all radio electronics and all satellites will be disabled.”
According to the editor-in-chief of the propaganda publication RT, then “we will return to something like ’93 – with wired telephones.”
“We lived wonderfully, and she will even be happy, because then I won’t have to explain to the children why everyone has gadgets and they don’t,” she said.
According to her, this option remains, and it is “the most humane, the most herbivorous.”
Then why do they want to weaken Russia's military?
To stop it from attacking its neighbor thus fulfilling our (ant their, btw) obligations under Budapest Memorandum of 1994, duh.
Russian state run media is reporting Friday that the Kremlin is closely monitoring a high-explosive experiment that the U.S. carried out this week at a nuclear test site in Nevada.-- Fox
Wednesday's test used chemicals and radioisotopes to "validate new predictive explosion models" that can help detect atomic blasts in other countries, Bloomberg reported, citing the Department of Energy.
The Interfax News Agency said Friday that Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters at a briefing that Russia is now closely monitoring the situation.
"Earlier, the Federation Council [of the Federal Assembly of Russia] stated that the underground tests on October 18 in Nevada should be given an international legal assessment, since the United States is a signatory to the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) and is obliged to refrain from violating this agreement," Interfax also reported.
Corey Hinderstein, deputy administrator for Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation at the National Nuclear Security Administration, said in a statement, "These experiments advance our efforts to develop new technology in support of U.S. nuclear nonproliferation goals."
"They will help reduce global nuclear threats by improving the detection of underground nuclear explosive tests," he added.
The U.S. test is notable because of its timing. Russian lawmakers have announced their intention to revoke their ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
A bill will go to the Russian upper house, the Federation Council, which will consider it next week. Federation Council lawmakers have already said they will support the bill.
The treaty, adopted in 1996, bans all nuclear explosions anywhere in the world, although it has never fully entered into force. In addition to the U.S., it is yet to be ratified by China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, Israel, Iran and Egypt.

Ppl will fucking PANIC like it is May (or was it March?) 18th 2020 again.
The fools (majority) will swarm COSTCO to buy up all the water and toilet paper.
The (few) smart ppl will get straight into their cars and floor it out of Dodge, period. The freeways will still jam up because of all the accidents caused by these peeps tho.
The Survivalists will throw out all the wife's crap that has accumulated in their bunker and button up tight.
But if Russia uses chemical weapons, ppl won't care.
Such is the Power of Nukes of any size.
