I read this that the sub was a fast neutron, Plutonium reactor with Sodium moderator.
Otherwise known as “Boom”

BORSCHT, PRAVDA, WODKA, TOVARICH...ok that’s all the Rooshin I know...

My paranoid mind says that a rocket carrying a warhead ignited while in tube. Sub crew probably could have let the missile out but elected not to do so.

If there had been a planetary catastrophe caused by the Russians...it would be all Trumps’ fault, anyway.
Everything is, according to the MSM.

Your explanation fits all the known claims. Very good.
And I agree that that probably isn’t the explanation—but it is as good as any.

Is this the one with transmogrification neutralizing deionizer?
To: CondoleezzaProtege
The main thing is that they were able to prevent whatever this catastrophe might have been.
May those who gave their lives be remembered for their sacrifice.

Like the poor souls who gave their lives at Chernobyl.

Color me clueless, but I assume that somewhere in the reactor room there was a button labeled ‘SCRAM’?

Whenever I read the words planetary catastrophe in this context, I immediately think of the point in time about an hour after Michael Moore consumes a half-dozen burritos and a can of baked beans.

As weird as it may seem, this sub was involved in cyber warfare. Yes, the so called “cloud” involves undersea cables. This sub was capable of diving to extreme depths.

How may Soviet/Russian submarine disasters are we up to now? It has to be at least six. If their allegedly superior missiles and fighter jets are of the same quality, Russia may not be as much of a threat as the media would like us to believe.
