Last Sunday Vladimir Soloviev, the anchor of Russia's most popular current affairs show, Sunday Evening, was delivering his usual all-is-going-splendidly take on the war in Ukraine when he suddenly went off-piste. The United Kingdom, he suggested, is planning to use nukes against the Russian forces in Ukraine.
How did he know that? Well, Britain has been accusing Russia of committing a genocide in Ukraine, and since that can't be true -- Russians never behave badly, even in wartime -- the evil Brits must be creating a pretext for launching a nuclear strike.
"It's the perfect option," Soloviev explained. The Americans don't want to do it themselves, because they might be hit in retaliation by Russian nukes. It's the British who will be ordered to use their tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine, and suffer the Russian retaliation if necessary.
