Even old New York was once New Amsterdam.
Why'd they change it, I can't say.
People just liked it better that way.
Soon Dementyev was elected by the local gentry as county marshal of nobility, but he became an outspoken supporter of the contemporary populist leaders and a critic of the Czarist regime, especially after radical terrorist groups murdered Alexander II and his son abandoned his father's reforms.
After a keen interest from the secret political police to his person and a very unpleasant embezzlement scandal – though no charges were ever brought against him - he was forced to leave for America in 1881 (in the process Americanizing his real name), first to New York and then to Florida

Its a ridiculous scenario and RT knows it.
Even if just conventional missiles were launched in such an attack the global response would be of such a magnitude that Russia would simply cease to exist.
RT knows this, he's just posting nonsense with the intention to provoke and to wind people up....it doesn't work because its shear stupidity.
His threads are becoming increasingly more asinine and desperate.
I miss the RT of old who you could have both a serious conversation and a bit of a laugh and banter with.....now he's just a stooge voicing scripted propaganda and lame attempts at provocation.

Blah blah blah, more spurious Russian propaganda, imagine that.
Freedom to Ukraine and down with the Russian invasion.
And Kyiv predates the founding of Moscow by 665 years.
Thank you.

Threatening to nuke British cities will never get you anything but contempt....
In fact threatening to nuke anywhere is pretty crap really.
Something both you and your beloved Putin should really consider.
Putin is desperate for respect for him and Russia.....its never going to happen acting like he is.

We ( the Dutch ) traded it to the British for Surinam after we bought it from the Native Americans.
In a single landmark real estate deal, Dutch settlers supposedly purchased the entire island of Manhattan for some worthless glass beads. But what actually happened in 1626? Dutch settlers bought the use of Manhattan in exchange for iron kettles, axes, knives, and cloth. And as it later turned out, the tribe who sold the land at such a deep discount were taking payment for lands which didn’t even belong to them.
Have you?
