Russian solution to oil spill

[oneway]

So the guys (Russians) who keep feeding Iran and that psycho in PRNK stuff to make nukes want us to detonate a nuke on a well head located nearly a mile below the ocean surface...

How big do the lines need to be before you can read between them?

This idiotic suggestion has nothing to do with solving the present problem, is contrary to finding a capitalist solution, feeds into the midgets of Iran and NK, widens the pipeline for Russians to feed more tech to those two psychos....

Come on guys...

The only thing dumber than this suggestion is serious consideration of it...

However....if you want to set off a nuke at the well head...then lets make sure 2 other nukes go off at the same time...those latter two at ground zero of the the two psycho regimes nuke research/development facilities...

Of course the wellhead nuke would be a dud (whoops)...but the ones drilled into PRNK and the Iranian facility would work perfectly...

Then I would welcome it...

Lets see its 5000 feet under water. Its near a huge oil deposit. There is a fault line running very near the site (thats right the very same fault line the USGS was unaware of and that caused an earthquake in September 2006). They want to use a nuke and move a significant mass.

Hmmm.

Yes I would be thinking about tsunamis. But what they hey you guys are always right.

Oh well, now you say there is a fault line running near the site.  In that case, yea, it could be a issue but that all depends on what kind of fault that is down there.

The only thing you should welcome is checking into mental institution. I'm surprised you didn't mention illegal aliens.

Says the KGB...... Uh Oh.

So you don't have a source or at least an off the wall Onion article where you pulled any of that mega tsunami stuff from?

[greens]

I live where they take oil from our land pay a dirt cheap price fer it, bring it down states, process it down there, bottle it and send it back up here to alaska and we pay tenfold times more than THEY paid for it. on top of that, WHEN they do have an oil spill the oil company is like EH SO WHAT we will clean it up EH its not in my yard. So friken annoying unfair, IF i was to goto BP's building in Anchorage and open up a QUART of oil and spill it in the buggers crib id get thrown the f in jail and a BIIIIGGG fine. our ways of LAW is messed up. I say throw BP's all of them in jail. they are criminals for contaminating the land and water.

Here is what they need . It is called a Hydrasep ..

You want to talk about "them" start a different thread...I have an opinion or two on that subject...

But lets digress a bit and pull back from that abyss...

Nothing is what it seems or appears to be when viewed through the prism of geo-political commentary and analysis...and the suggestion of detonating a thermonuclear device on a well head is anything but a cognitive solution to the problem at hand...Komrade...

Consider the source, consider their interests, and their partners who share those interests...and operate in parallel...and make sure you view outside of the prism of the present problem...the laymen view...

Start connecting the dots...you got a mental picture of that?

Think fallout...not the nuclear type...the geo-political & geo-economic type...and in this case, if we were to take this suggestion seriously...that fallout would be tectonic...no pun intended.

Americas unilateral use of nuclear device to address the well head issue would be a neon green light seen around the world to resume live testing and proliferation & distribution of nuclear technology by legitimizing it as a viable solution to a catastrophic commercial/industrial accident..

I can't fault the Russians for floating this idea...for it is without serious merit...but feeds nicely into their present posture and plays on their long history of propaganda...saying one thing while meaning another...

NOTHING IS WHAT IT APPEARS TO BE...

You do realize if their were no oil companies sinking billions of dollars into finding the stuff, extracting the stuff, shipping the stuff, refining the stuff, shipping the stuff, distributing the stuff....

You have two choices:

1) Log off the grid...live in a dug out and skin your seals with a stone knife...

2) Grab yourself a drill bit and a half a dozen roughnecks and change the way business is done...

Be honest with yourself and the rest of us and admit that American Industrial Effort fed by Greed and Capitalism...though flawed at times has provided all of us with the highest standards of living known to the human race...

You can't have it both ways...either log off the grid...or live the hypocrisy...

Your opportunity to respond to this thread is predicated upon...and provided by...humans who decided to drill holes in the planet and suck oil from the earth...

Why do I need a source? I said Im worried that a nuclear device detonated near a known fault line could be a problem. Now oneway is hinting about political fallout. I can agree with that too. I can just hear Chavez screaming about the U.S. irradiating 'his' oil so even if there is no actual physical calamity 'we' (U.S. tax payers) are on the hook.

So go ahead and splash the coast with a tsunami event and get it over with already.

That's what I thought.
Stick to the flight sims and computer hardware techno blabble.

I can assure you that in the event a TND was detonated...any actual hydraulic/tectonic event would end up being a a single bubble in a boiling pot compared to the 'earth shaking' that would occur on how the world looks at and listens to proliferation/use rhetoric...

The world would change...

That is why the Russian's pinged the bottom with this one...

Give me a ping, Vasili. One ping only, please.

@Grizz

One advantage to dealing with ridiculous responses like yours is there is never any substance to anything you offer.

You didnt even bother to look into the possible repercussions but it doesnt matter. I have doubts the politicians in this country will ever allow a nuclear device be used for this.

[Motherland]

though flawed at times has provided all of us with the highest standards of living known to the human race...

On what are you basing this statement?

I have doubts the politicians in this country will ever allow a nuclear device be used for this.

That's all that really matters... despite the motives behind it or whether it would work, it will never happen...
