"A million tsunamis!"
Easier to crash the moon into earth. The level of energy needed to put up a 1000 foot wave is orders of magnitude beyond Tsar Bomba.
When continental plates shift/ big quakes you get MAYBE 25 foot waves as in Japan. The few monster waves in history were likely asteroid strike/extinction level impacts. and a mini sub sized nuke is gonna do that? Nukes are bad. But not THAT bad.
Careful, Putinista McGruff. Don't forget the ChiComs are firm allies with your boys in Moscow.
From the Sino-Russian Joint Statement of April 23, 1997:
"The two sides [China and Russia] shall, in the spirit of partnership, strive to promote the multipolarization of the world and the establishment of a new international order."

China and Russia to build major seaport: report
China and Russia will build one of the largest ports in north-east Asia on Russia's Sea of Japan coast, reports say, in a further sign of the powerhouses' growing alliance.

>> ...would scatter tiny chunks of what used to be earth throughout the solar system.
ROFL. I was wondering where you were going with that as I read the first part of the sentence.
Economic collapse blog readers can be quite gullible.
Yep.
Sequence of blast events:
The Baker shot produced so many unusual phenomena that a conference was held two months later to standardize nomenclature and define new terms for use in descriptions and analysis.[92] The underwater fireball took the form of a rapidly expanding hot gas bubble that pushed against the water, generating a supersonic hydraulic shock wave which crushed the hulls of nearby ships as it spread out. Eventually it slowed to the speed of sound in water, which is one mile per second (1600 m/s), five times faster than that of sound in air.[93] On the surface, the shock wave was visible as the leading edge of a rapidly expanding ring of dark water, called the "slick" for its resemblance to an oil slick.[94] Close behind the slick was a visually more dramatic, but less destructive whitening of the water surface called the "crack".[95]
When the gas bubble's diameter equaled the water depth, 180 feet (55 m), it hit the sea floor and the sea surface simultaneously. At the bottom, it started digging a shallow crater, ultimately 30 feet (9 m) deep and 2,000 feet (610 m) wide.[96] At the top, it pushed the water above it into a "spray dome," which burst through the surface like a geyser. Elapsed time since detonation was four milliseconds.[97]
During the first full second, the expanding bubble removed all the water within a 500-foot (152 m) radius and lifted two million tons[98] of spray and seabed sand into the air. As the bubble rose at 2,500 feet per second (762 m/s),[99] it stretched the spray dome into a hollow cylinder or chimney of spray called the "column," 6,000 feet (1,829 m) tall and 2,000 feet (610 m) wide, with walls 300 feet (91 m) thick.[100]
As soon as the bubble reached the air, it started a supersonic atmospheric shock wave which, like the crack, was more visually dramatic than destructive. Brief low pressure behind the shock wave caused instant fog which shrouded the developing column in a "Wilson cloud", also called a "condensation cloud", obscuring it from view for two seconds. The Wilson cloud started out hemispherical, expanded into a disk which lifted from the water revealing the fully developed spray column, then expanded into a doughnut and vanished. The Able shot also produced a Wilson cloud, but heat from the fireball dried it out more quickly.[100]
By the time the Wilson cloud vanished, the top of the column had become a "cauliflower," and all the spray in the column and its cauliflower was moving down, back into the lagoon. Although cloudlike in shape, the cauliflower was more like the top of a geyser where water stops moving up and starts to fall. There was no mushroom cloud; nothing rose into the stratosphere.[101]
Russia has tested air-burst bombs far larger than Baker.
More than a single device could create.
There is a physical limit to the number of stages that can be used successfully in a thermonuclear device and they cannot create enough force to do what this article claims.
>> Tsunamis aren’t exact targetable.
They’ll work all that out during testing. ;-)
The Tsar Bomb test of 1961 was over 50 MT, and could have been scaled to 100MT.
Weighing 30 tons, it was too big to be transported by air. An unmanned sub, operating as a long range torpedo, could carry a really, really, really big bomb.
Russia and its fan boys are always tripping out on some sort of super weapon that they say they will develop.
This is pure rubbish IMHO.
They already have the straight forward nuclear weapons to eradicate our nation without such sci-fi. And we have more than enough to do the same to them.
That calculus still holds...and there is no need for something exotic like this.
>> Why chance it with an underwater torpedo?
Because with a sneaky underwater device, we’ll never know it was the rooskies. We’ll suspect Mexico or Canada, or maybe Iran.
If the torpedo is detonated by the city then there is not much water to form a tsunami. If it is detonated far enough away to form a respectable tsunami it will not be of this magnitude. There is existing data from nuclear testing to tell us the likely size of the wall of water. Not 1000 feet tall, not nearly.
Are you implying that the economic collapse blog is staffed by retards?
You would be correct.
That was my first reaction as well. They’re probably taking weekly bets in Moscow over who can make Obama piss himself.
Canada? Lol Mexico? Lol. Seriously, even an underwater launch from sub we would know with certainty who launched it...nothing is sneaky about nuke sub launches.
Don't stop reading at the top. There's some meat lower down too.
After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our
turn is coming again soon. We stand united against
Islamic extremists.
Some music for reflection if the mood strikes you.

An honorable mention also goes out to Lassana Bathily , a Muslim immigrant from Mali.
Mr. Bathily sheltered customers at the Jewish Deli and helped police by providing info
on the terrorists, and providing the location of survivors in the deli.

No. LOL-y.

That’s the only thing he got right.
