The Russian president of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems, Konstantin Sivkov stated that the U.S. has two geographic Achilles heels that should be struck with nukes for the “complete destruction of the enemy”: Yellowstone’s supervolcano and the San Andreas Fault.
Sivkov states that this is necessary because NATO has been “moving to the borders or Russia.”
Yellowstone’s volcano has violently erupted three times and “blanketed parts of the North American continent with ash and debris,” according to the US Geological Survey.
Some scientists argue that Yellowstone’s active supervolcano is long overdue for a colossal eruption.
“Geologists believe that the Yellowstone supervolcano could explode at any moment. There are signs of growing activity there. Therefore it suffices to push the relatively small, for example the impact of the munition megaton class to initiate an eruption. The consequences will be catastrophic for the United States, a country just disappears,” he said, according to a translation by Sydney Morning Herald.
According to a Discovery Channel documentary, an eruption of this magnitude would bury North America, drape the atmosphere in a sulfur haze, dim sunlight, and plunge the world into a volcanic winter.

Since last year’s illegal annexation of Crimea, Russian President Vladimir Putin has responded to international criticism and economic sanctions placed on his country by flexing his nation’s military muscle around the world.
The crisis in Ukraine reflects a turning point in NATO’s stance on Putin and emphasizes a growing concern stemming from the origins of NATO, which was formed for collective territorial defense.

They have no clue what would actually happen if they did that. It would be akin to shooting ones own foot.
More like initiating a m$#%&!@* extinction event. The SA fault would work with better success.
They bomb us we bomb them the world would end
If you all did this there will be no place to hide for the world is done for no one wins. Therefore your nut dumb$#%&!@*
Hell just a moab would release the wrath of the caldera in Yellowstone.
yellowstone is a giant culldera….an enomous venting tube for the magma underneath….if it were nuked….it would throw the earth into nukular winter…and destroy ?????????
While true, it is a weak spot in the crust and has shown signs of heaving in the past few years (the floor of Yellowstone Lake has tilted), there is no $#%&!@*urance that a nuclear weapon could actually start a cataclysmic eruption of the caldera. And has already been said, our response would most likely be “on the way” before the blast even occurred. And that supposes that the missile (if a missile is used) isn’t shot down by our ABM systems. Of course, a quick snap shot from a sub 13 miles out in the Pacific would not give us any time to react, the blast would not keep our counter punch from launching.
World war 3
You wouldnt just kill us you would die as well our nukes would go off in defense not to mention the ash from yellowstone would blanket the sun for years you would die from a ash/ice age
If they’re going to nuke something, might I suggest the White House during a cabinet meeting? It would solve their problems and ours.
