Russian strategist suggests nuking Yellowstone   Rest of world would see catastrophe, but 'U.S. will cease to exist'   Published: 3 hours ago 











The best way for Russia to solve its problem with America would be to trigger a nuclear weapon at Yellowstone National Park and hope that would set off a supervolcano, destroying the continent, according to the chief of a Russian think tank.
The suggestion is attributed to Konstantin Sivkov, who wrote in an article at the Russian language VPK News that, “As a result, the U.S. will cease to exist.”
While the rest of the world, he noted, would suffer a “catastrophe,” Russia likely would suffer little “due to the distance from the eruption site, the size of the territory and the location.”
While the stress of such a disaster would affect all of civilization, he wrote, such a weapon “has the possibility” of stopping “all thought of aggression against Russia.”
In the alternative, he wrote, a nuke on the San Andreas fault might set of earthquakes that also could decimate large parts of America. His hope would be that it would create a tsunami a mile deep that would wash across the U.S. up to 1,500 kilometers inland.
Sivkov, described as a geopolitical analyst, also accused the “West” of moving “to the borders of Russia” already.
