VLADIMIR Putin’s allies have bizarrely threatened to use the Satan-2 nuclear missile to attack the Yellowstone supervolcano.
The attack - that could cause a radioactive eruption - was openly talked about on state-run TV and came as the Russian tyrant ordered testing of the 16,000 mph missile.
Putin is said to have warned Joe Biden of the test launch of the missile - officially known as the RS-28 Sarmat - in advance, while the US president was in Ukraine.
Speaking on a nightly panel discussion about the war hosted by Kremlin mouthpiece Vladimir Solovyov, one military expert talked about how the missiles could be used.
The expert, who was wearing a military uniform, said the “Sarmat is a special weapon” that can deliver “large number of nuclear warheads at once” to a target.
Then in a deranged threat, he continued: “It is impossible to build an all-looking defence system, which means that the United States is vulnerable, that is the first point.
“And the second point is that the Sarmat poses a threat to the most feared facility on US territory, the Yellowstone volcano.”
Lying underneath the tranquil setting of the Yellowstone National Park in the US lies an enormous magma chamber.
It's responsible for the geysers and hot springs that define the area.
But it's also one of the greatest natural threats to human civilisation as we know it - a potential supervolcano.

Excuse me, but you are an idiot!
Let me get this straight. Russia nukes us. We nuke them.
Please explain how you win.
Ever think it makes sense to use a strategy where you win?
“Putin is simply evil and insane.”
So is Biden.
I don’t consider this a real threat but whoever made it may not have any real idea what the outcome of a large nuclear blast in Yellowstone would have, it might not awaken the dormant supervolcano at all, therefore amounting to a first strike with no strategic value quickly followed by total destruction of Russia by sensibly targeted missiles.
It’s the villains in the Kremlin. Pehaps a decapitation strike with Ninja missiles that takes out their top 10..==
The system Perimeter is installed exactly for this scenario.

Strange game.
Satan-2 nuke? Who named that thing? Oh well, better than G-d’s righteous weapon.
Putin is acting this way, because Joe is demented. He might as well act demented, too.
It sounds like a nonsense threat to me too but to entertain the hypothetical;
If their nukes did initiate a major super-volcano eruption no one would care about the radioactivity from the nukes.
It would be like worrying that the enemy’s fragmentation grenades had a coat of lead based paint on them.
And now all the liberals love war. Was just talking to my cousin about that very thing.
Russia won’t nuke us until NATO is fully in on the war.
At that point they have nothing to lose from their view.
So they will attempt to take out as much of us as they can before going down.
Do we still have Ballistic Nuclear Submarines?
Far from insane. The Russian economy is booming. We barely hit it.
Biden is evil but probably not insane either.
I think that is a given. The nuke would be simply for getting the caldera to blow.
“Would that work?”
Unlikely. The forces involved make a nuke look like a firecracker. But if it did work, it would be an extinction level event for the whole planet.
The ones making the threat were the ones highlighting it as a “radioactive eruption.”
In reality I don’t think any amount of nukes would make the caldera blow. There are already loads of conduits to the surface (geysers, hot springs, pools) so trying to create another with explosives would be useless. A path to the surface is not what is lacking.
It won’t blow until something from below makes the magma chamber swell to an unstable state.
Bump - - Creative attack
This is almost “Rainbow Six-ish”
To put your 3 yr old son in charge of running a household.. Pay bills, get to school on time.. Homework done and in bed by 9..laundry done before dupper and put away. Dishes done.. Work a game time in before bed.
How do you think would work? Biden can’t do it either!
Reminds me of an 1981 episode of the old TV show, “Greatest American Hero” where they, Ralph and Bill, had to stop a a “Fail deadly” system from launching 30 Minuteman missiles, IIRC, in the show, it was called “”Project Spoil Sport.”
I so hope you are correct!! Great points.
We have a Russian visitor who was talking about this here recently.
Might have a little credibility.
Prevailing winds would carry the ash cloud and fallout over most of the Midwest and East Coast US.
Blue cities, minorities and children hardest hit.
