Russian analyst urges nuclear attack on Yellowstone National Park and San Andreas fault line

"Another vulnerable area of ��‹��‹the United States from the geophysical point of view, is the San Andreas fault - 1300 kilometers between the Pacific and North American plates ... 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."

All B.S. A nuke won't result in a tsunami on the West Coast. Not that type of fault. The San Andreas fault slips north and south, no tsunami will result at all. And a nuke probably won't trigger an earthquake, as the fault is deep underground beyond reach of a nuke. And if an earthquake happened, it would be localized in a small area and not the entire length of the fault.
