(Business Insider) --- Earlier this
week, the Russian president of the Academy
of Geopolitical Problems outlined two
geophysically weak US
regions to attack in order to combat NATO's aggression toward Russia .
In his article,
Konstantin Sivkov justifies the option of "complete destruction of the
enemy" because NATO has been "moving to the borders on Russia ."
Sivkov, listed as a
"Docter of Military Sciences," described scenarios that involved
dropping a nuclear weapon near Yellowstone's supervolcano or the San Andreas Fault .
Catalyze the eruption of Yellowstone 's
supervolcano.
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.

"A detonation
of a nuclear weapon there can trigger catastrophic events like a coast-scale
tsunami which can completely destroy the infrastructure of the United States ," he
said, according to the Sydney Morning Herald's translation.
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.
"He wants to
restore the Russian empire ... I don't know where he'll stop," Senator
John McCain (R-Arizona) said of Putin earlier this month during a speech at the
Center for Strategic International Studies.

their hands)
