A Russian geopolitical analyst says the best way to attack the United States is to detonate nuclear weapons to trigger a supervolcano at Yellowstone National Park or along the San Andreas fault line on California’s coast.

The president of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems based in Moscow, Konstantin Sivkov said in an article for a Russian trade newspaper on Wednesday, VPK News, that Russia needed to increase its military weapons and strategies against the “West” which was “moving to the borders or Russia”.

He has a conspiracy theory that NATO – a political and military alliance which counts the US, UK, Canada and many countries in western Europe as members – was amassing strength against Russia and the only way to combat that problem was to attack America’s vulnerabilities to ensure a “complete destruction of the enemy”.
“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.

“Another vulnerable area of ‹‹the United States from the geophysical point of view, is the San Andreas fault – 1300 kilometers between the Pacific and North American plates … 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 the Russian geography on the other hand would protect it from a tsunami or a volcano attack. Few people live on the coast in Russia and Siberia which rests on basalt would withstand similar attacks.
Mr Sivkov, who spoke at the 2013 Moscow Economic Forum, said by 2020 to 2025 Russia would have amassed “asymmetric weapons” in its arsenal for the attack.

“The situation for us today is comparably worse than half a century ago,” he said.

“The weakened economic potential in Russia, the loss of the ‘spiritual core of what was the communist idea’, and the lack of large-scale community allies in Europe such as the Warsaw Pact, Russia simply cannot compete against the NATO and its allies.”

In December last year, the vocal military strategist told Russian newspaper, Pravda.ru that there is a “developing standoff between Russia and the West” and the US’s ultimate goal was to “destroy Russia”.

Mr Sivkov accused American politicians of committing several crimes including causing the deaths of 1,200,000 people in Iraq. He believed the only way for the “American elite” to be held accountable was for its military forces to be destroyed.

“American politicians have committed a variety of crimes. Will anyone be held accountable for those crimes? What about the international law, the UN and other organisations? Are they doing anything?” he asked.

Mr Sivkov told Pravda that the idea of the US preparing for a serious war against Russia using cruise missiles was plausible given that it had already launched a thousand missiles in Yugoslavia and Iraq

There is an objective need to find new approaches to ensuring military security, including strategic deterrence. A key focus in this regard is maintaining the capacity of strategic nuclear forces. However, there are pitfalls. Despite the relative (compared with other armed forces) low numbers, the nuclear triad is quite expensive. With growing economic problems related to sanctions and the collapse of the oil market, the country may just not be enough funds to maintain the required level of combat readiness. The number of personnel involved in the strategic nuclear forces (rvsn missile submarines, strategic and long-range aircraft), in excess of a hundred thousand people, creates favourable conditions for neutralizing them part methods of information warfare. Rapid global strike United States could in the near future create conditions where “skull Hunter” (under the command of the strategic-level items involved in the management of the STRATEGIC NUCLEAR FORCES) and “disarming” (directly by using strategic nuclear weapons) attacks neutralize Russia’s nuclear triad or its body. Search for asymmetric ways to ensure strategic deterrence is vital for the country. Actually this and our President said, noting that we are not going to get involved in an arms race and take asymmetrical measures. It is clear that we are talking about a brand new weapon systems based on different ideas than existing.
