If they do that to Yellowstone, that’s pretty much the ball game for Earth, not just the US.

The decay in this country is mind boggling. I give it a year to 18 months before the Chinese or Wahhabi capture all of this wasting country. Our military is a mixture of faggots and pregnant women or wannabe pregnant women. We couldn’t even guard our own borders effectively.

It’s so stupid it’s not even worthy of commentary.

His geology is questionable but Russian intent is perfectly clear.

The Cannikin test in the 70’s was 5 megaton at a depth of 5000’ and created a 6.2 on the richter scale. A surface or air burst could not even come close.

And yes, I have worked on nuke tests.

He also compared America’s penal system to “Hitler’s state machine,”

Pretty sad when I agree with the Russians on something!

I know one thing, after a nuclear exchange between Russia and the NATO nations.

I would much rather be a survivor in the United States, than one in Russia, over the following decades.

And I doubt that the area known formerly as Russia, would ever escape having been absorbed by China.

Russians would fare far worse in a nuclear exchange.

Our cities are mostly destroyed. Our productive people and many productive industries have fled our cities. It would be hard to destroy so much dispersed productivity.

Detroit, New Orleans, Newark, Oakland... all of these places were once prosperous centers of opulent wealth, prosperity and industry. Now, most are welfare toilets in need of flushing.

Russia has the opposite situation.
Their cities are still their centers of civilization and prosperity. Outside the cities the denizens are TB infected, vodka soaked, toothless, barefoot, illiterate peasants.
The survivors.

America’s survivors would be the red states. Nuking Yellowstone, Cumbra Vieja or the San Andreas Fault is a dumb idea, but it is informative to know what the Russians are thinking.

If the Russians try this, we’ll take out all of their vodka distilleries.

Yeah, Ivan, how’d you like them taters?

"What would happen if the Russians tried to launch nuclear bombs onto American soil, aiming to trigger a giant tsunami or the eruption of a supervolcano?"

LOL! Obviously, this is our present and future.

I wonder if Putin would give him a raise he’d stop his blithering.

"'A detonation of a nuclear weapon there can trigger catastrophic events like a coast-scale tsunami, which can completely destroy the infrastructure of the United States,' he said."

[Likely slogan for a Russian advertisement follows.]

There is a supposed not minor risk that if Yellowstone goes, so goes the rest of the world, due to lack of sunlight for 1 year.

This thread keeps getting funnier! I’ll be nice and sincere, though, and post a link to some sanity.

What will really happen when the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts?

If half of the American people were not hell bent on committing national suicide, no power on earth could destroy the U.S.A.

I fear the ‘rulers’ in the White Hut far more than the Russians.
