"...can trigger catastrophic events like a coast-scale tsunami which can completely destroy the infrastructure of the United States,"


Oh, come on. At the utmost it would destroy the infrastructure of California. With or without a tsunami.

#3 Its so bad the last time it blew most life on earth died and it was ages before it started again... Siberian Traps



Vast volumes of basaltic lava paved over a large expanse of primeval Siberia in a flood basalt event. Today the area covered is about 2 million km2—roughly equal to western Europe in land area—and estimates of the original coverage are as high as 7 million km2. The original volume of lava is estimated to range from 1 million to 4 million km3.

The area covered lies between 50° and 75° north latitude and 60° to 120° east longitude.

#4 This massive eruptive event spanned the Permian-Triassic boundary, about 250 million years ago, and is cited as a possible cause of the Permian-Triassic extinction event.[2][6] One of the major questions is whether the Siberian Traps was directly responsible, or if it was itself caused by some other larger event, such as an asteroid impact. A recent hypothesis put forward is that the volcanism was a trigger that led to an explosion of the growth of Methanosarcina, a microbe that then spewed enormous amounts of methane into Earth's atmosphere.[7]

This extinction event, also called the Great Dying, affected all life on Earth, and is estimated to have killed 90% of species living at the time.[8] Life on land took at least 30 million years to fully recover from the environmental disruptions which may have been caused by the eruption of the Siberian Traps.[9] Calculations of sea water temperature from δ18O measurements indicate that at its peak, the earth underwent lethally hot global warming, in which equatorial ocean temperatures exceeded 40 °C (about 105 °F).

Paleontological evidence further indicates that the global distribution of tetrapods vanished, with very rare exceptions in the region of Pangaea that is today Utah, between latitudes bounded by approximately 40°S to 30°N. The tetrapod gap of equatorial Pangea coincides with an end-Permian to Middle Triassic global "coal gap" that indicates the loss of peat swamps. Peat formation, a product of high plant productivity, was only reestablished in the Anisian and then only in high southern latitudes, although gymnosperm forests appeared earlier (in the Early Spathian), but again only in northern and southern higher latitudes.[6] In equatorial Pangea, the establishment of conifer-dominated forests was not until the end of the Spathian, and the first coals at these latitudes did not appear until the Carnian ~15 million years after their end-Permian disappearance. These signals suggest equatorial temperatures exceeded their thermal tolerance for many marine vertebrates at least during two thermal maxima, whereas terrestrial equatorial temperatures were sufficiently severe to suppress plant and animal abundance during most of the Early Triassic.[1]

#5 If Obamopods and Clintonopods were to vanish, it might just be worth it.

#7 Oh my.

Yuuup.

Iff "Islands" can disappear, so can "Countries", "Regions" or "Trans-Regions", e.g. LOST-ISLAND = LOST CONTINENT OF ATLANTIS.

GUAM + KEY PACIFIC ISLES = MICHELLE'S BRIGADE HUOG "THE US HAS LAND-SINKING EARTHQUAKE/TECTONIC BOMBS" CHAVEZ + RED BERET + PARROT = USN BB USS OKLAHOMA = "GUAM WILL CAPSIZE" = espec iff OWG Globalism + US-led Anti-US OWG-NWO = US-N-Only-The-US must unilaterally give up or fall back across the world so that its OWG Co-SUperpowers Russia, China, + Iran, Etc, can rise to "US -Style", MilPol/Geopol + Nuclear "Parity" on their respective Continents or World Regions, + to deny the Islands' utility to US Enemies or Protagonists.

OR, as 1990's BILLARISM/CLINTONISM would say = The US [ + Only the US] MUST BE RESTRAINED OR CONTROLLED"!

SAVING AMERIKA + ITS SACRED NATIONAL COMMUNISM OR COMMUNISM-SOCIALISM FROM AMERICANS.

Brought to youse by God, Madonna, Texas-sized Asteroids, + 1960's-1970's Guam Taotamonas, including the Ghosts-Spirits of those whom wouldn't actually pass on until years andor decades later.

Iff OWG GLOBALISM = "[US] RETREAT/FALLBACK IS WORLD PEACE", THEN ALA 21ST CENTURY "A2/AREA-DENIAL" + IN A WORLD AT "PEACE" WHY MUST THE US SINK ANY PACIFIC ISLANDS AT ALL???

* Lastly, OWG GLOBALIST "PARITY" = ODDS ARE ANY GEOPOL ANTI-US ENEMY NATION-STATE, INCLUD CO-SUPERPOWERS, WANNBES + NGOS, WILL LIKELY OR ROUGHLY POSSESS THE SAME LAND-SINKING MILTECHS AS THE US.

It would be the height of folly or stupidity for the US to believe that it is invincible or invulnerable, THAT IT CAN SINK FOREIGN LANDS WIDOUT ITS OWN BEING ATTACKED AND SUNK.

The US-West = Western JudeoChristianity is SSSHHHH....PCCCCCCCC directly or indirectly helping Iran + Islamic World to nuclearize, so why withhold Land or Geology-latering Miltechs from same.

* US-SOVIET COLD WAR = STAR TREK:TOS "A DIRTY LITTLE WAR" EPISODE = CAPT KIRK TO DR. "BONES" MCCOY = "D *** NG IT, BALANCE OF POWER [Terror],
BONES, BALANCE OF POWER[Terror] ... ..."!

Iff Russia or Other? attack the Yellowstone + San Andreas, etc. it will be because the post-9-11. post-GWOT, "Weak/Declining", "Self-Retreating" Globalist USA LOST THE "GREAT GAME".

#11 All kidding aside, we could retaliate by nuking all Russian vodka distilleries from space. It's the only way to be sure.

#13 More this AM ...

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [FAS] WHAT COULD HAPPEN IFF AN [Russian]800-KILOTON NUCLEAR WARHEAD DETONATES ABOVE MANHATTAN!?

* TOPIX > [Real Clear Politics] FORGET IRAN. THE REAL NUCLEAR THREAT LIES EAST.

China + India + Pakistan all moving towards deploying NucWeaps at sea.

A MIGHTY HOMER SIMPSONIAN "DOH"! IS AGAIN HEARD OVER THE PACIFIC, FROM A MADONNA FAN IN GUAM.

* Chinese MILITARY FORUM > US, CHINA AHEADING TOWARD FACE-OFF, SAYS MEARSHEIM.

Noted Professor of PoliSci at University of Chicago.

As I've said times before, mighty "Red Line" defender Globalist POTUS Obama hasn't even started wid CHINA yet.

Besides the ISIS threat to Russia, Central Asia, + Talibunnies comes ...

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > [FirstPost] MORE RADICAL OUTFITS AND PROXY WARS INDIA SHOULD BE AWARE OF AFTER IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL.

* TOPIX > IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL: A POWERFUL TEHRAN TURNED INTO AMERICA'S "POLICEMAN IN THE GULF"? IT COULD HAPPEN.

Pffffttt, its occurring now + has been for a while now.

PUTINIST RUSSIA = RISING IRAN = "CO-AMERICA IN THE MIDDLE EAST/GULF"??? Nice to have or know until something goes terribly wrong.

Namely ...

* WORLD MILITARY FORUM > UK "DAILY MAIL" ONLINE: PUTIN THREATENS NUCLEAR WAR: RUSSIA LEADER WILL TAKE ANY NECESSARY STEPS TO DRIVE NATO OUT OF THE BALTICS AND DEFEND CRIMEA.

PUTIN'S BALTIC STATES = CHINA'S "FIRST ISLAND CHAIN/STRING OF PEARLS" IN EAST-ASIA-PACIIFC = IRAN'S MIDDLE EAST + PERSIAN GULF + WEST-CENTRAL ASIA SPHERE(S).

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!

* BIGNEWSNETWORK > NORTH KOREA NUCLEAR DEAL UNLIKELY TO FOLLOW IRAN AGREEMENT.

NOKOR-vs-USS-GEORGE-WASHINGTON-CVN - you know, SSSHHHH ...PCCCCCC CHINA.
