Konstantin Sivkov has previously spoken about expecting to see American society "decay" and has elaborate plans for how that could happen.
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?
That was precisely the plan one Russian military analyst laid out to combat the West, and it's fit for a Superman comic book or an Eisnehower-era James Bond caper.
"The consequences will be catastrophic for the United States — a country just disappears," Konstantin Sivkov, director of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems in Moscow, wrote in the trade newspaper VPK News on Wednesday.
His sinister suggestions, dated March 25, were translated and reported by the Sydney Morning Herald.
Sivkov reportedly said he believes the multinational military alliance NATO is redoubling its forces against Russia, with America as the main aggressor.
His solution: a much colder cold war.
Russia's response, he said, should be "complete destruction of the enemy."
He's evidently given a monumental amount of thought into how that should happen.
"Geologists believe that the Yellowstone supervolcano could explode at any moment," Sivkov said, before claiming it would take "relatively small" effort to "initiate an eruption."
A 2013 study found that Yellowstone's supervolcano has enough molten rock to span the Earth's surface if it erupts.
The bellicose bureaucrat also names California's San Andreas fault line as "another vulnerable area" in America.
"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.
He said the mass destruction would not only fend off alleged American antagonism toward Russia, but also make the "American elite" suffer for its country's military actions.
The revenge-minded Russian has railed on this topic before, telling the Russian newspaper Pravda in December that "American society will decay someday."
He also compared America's penal system to "Hitler's state machine," according to a translated interview.
Amen.You have summarized America, but it’s really even worse.
Creating two accounts and using one to compliment and talk to the other is soooooo 1996, man.
You’ve come off the track hoss.
If the Russians try this, we’ll take out all of their vodka distilleries.
Yeah, Ivan, how’d you like them taters?
I wonder if Putin would give him a raise he’d stop his blithering.
What is weird?
I saw a documentary on the Yellowstone caldera. Long story short: When it blows...and it will...nuclear winter sets in and the beetles win.
Asked to remove this because I realized I’m sometimes a snarky poster myself.

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.
Good point, lets NOT attack the Russians.
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?
