The former chief of the Main Staff of the Strategic Missile Forces, Colonel-General Viktor Ivanovich Esin.

After his dismissal, he continued to work in the apparatus of the Security Council and once came to the Americans as part of a delegation. So he says: “I’m driving around San Francisco with the Americans on the bus. Everyone is talking and laughing. And then – we pass by the lighthouse. I looked at him and said: “I know this lighthouse.” Americans – to him: “How can you know him if you are in San Francisco for the first time?” And he replies: “You forgot that I was engaged in nuclear planning. And here is the lighthouse – it was the aiming point. I will tell you more: next to this lighthouse is the collapse of the earth’s crust. So, if a multi-megaton block gets here, a landslide will happen. And half of California will be in the ocean. After that, everyone silently drove to their destination.


I would place a large bet that large Nukes are also aimed at Yellowstone national park.

I remember in January on this blog we discussed if they would start a war to try and heal the divisions in society. Some thought it would be a false flag event in the middle east.

It was in a joking sense as nobody really believed deep down they would be stupid enough to do it.
