Well, who faithfully repeats, what even "serious" media have quoted time and again shouldn´t wonder, if he gets emberassed.

Not only did i have to realize some new things about the nuclear thread of a war after doing a quick research, i also had to realize some worrying facts about Germany´s politics concerning nuclear-powerplants.

Not only are our political tree-huggers almost hysterical about nuclear fission, its scaring how willing the population is to believe them.

But another question:

According to some estimates 80% of earths population and infrastructure are centered at the costs or only hundred kilometers away from the next sea.

So what would cause more death and destruction: To bomb the cities directely or to drop the warheads into the oceans and on vulcanos, creating Tsunamis and earthquakes?
The optimist thinks, that we live in the best of all possible worlds and the pessimist is afraid, that this is true.

To hit them directly, a Tsunami or artificial earthquake will only deliver a fraction of the weapons yield to the target.
