He he. An entertaining look at a terrifying threat.

Just discovering this thread.

If you are concerned about this threat, I really wouldn't be, I can't recall where I saw it but from what I recall it isn't possible, even if it was the shockwave they generated would just end up flooding Russia as well.

The claims are from russia, the country that constantly repaints the kursnetov to try and show they have a functional aircraft carrier, the country that says they have a "stealth" fighter aircraft but it has the same radar cross as the F18 (about 1m^2 radar cross section, vs the F35 which apparently has arround 0.0001m^2 (about the size of a bumble bee))

Second day in a row with strange green clouds around sunset.
Took a Geiger reading. Fractionally above background average, but well within "normal" (6CPM peak).

I wouldn't be concerned about green clouds and nuclear (I maybe concerned about toxic chemicals) as the green glow people think nuclear has is just cherenkov radiation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherenkov_radiation), and is blue, something which only happens in certain media (such as water) from the wikipedia it is similar to a sonic boom but when energy particles go faster than light in that media (not impossible, as light goes slower than c in certain media such as water it is about 0.75 c)

edit: makes nuclear more scary that there is just a block of material giving off enough radiation you could die in minuets of coming near it, with no visible light coming from it, no warning.

Oh, you don't have to tell me mate. My only gripe with the Back to the Future musical is that they made the Plutonium glow green instead of blue.
