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.

Yeah well if Yellowstone blows that would devestate the whole world.
it is estimated that if yellow stone blows, even china will be covered in several feet of ash. if they trigger it by explosion from the top down… it will trigger more than just yellowstone and the volcanos that make it up 3-4 making a giant, but the surrounding pockets that connect to it. russia itself will be in a fallout, and every country in the world would try to kill them for it.
think about it, its the stupidest revenge plan in the world. putin isnt that stupid. can call him an number of other things but stupid is not one of them xD
its equal to suicide bombing.
but on a m$#%&!@*ive scale
and on othe off chance they figure they can out last it, building underground bases etc. they have to have also figured, other countries have them aswell. and therefore, would put them no where closer to anything worthy of calling a success or gain.
certainly no captial gain
i bet we have atleast ten nuclear subs within russia’s range at all times. close range nukes that do not need to be launched into the atmosphere. mean just the nukes they tell us about is enough to level the entire planet 100 times over if not more. every tree, every hill flat. prob not mountains but if we tried, we could flatten those too xD
kinda scarey but its like owning a gun. sometimes people knowing you have it stops more crimes from happening than actually shooting it (;
Russia could also receive a couple of gifts of their own.
