Russia is now allegedly "seeding" the ocean floor off some of America's largest cities along the East Coast such as New York with nuclear mines, and will detonate those megaton mines to generate massive tsunamis able to drown hundreds of thousands of Americans in the event of a war against Putin's Russia.

This fantastic claim was made by Col. Viktor Baranetz, a retired officer in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation who was once spokesman for the Ministry of Defense.

Baranetz said this operation was launched by Russian president Vladimir Putin and is ongoing. He refused to reveal how many nuclear mines, which he referred to as "mole nukes," are now emplaced off large American East Coast cities such as New York.

Putin will detonate these mines in a war between NATO and Russia. These mole nukes complement Russia's use of tactical nuclear missiles against NATO military forces along Russia's western border

Baranetz made the claims in an interview with the Russian state-owned media outlet, Komsomolskaya Pravda. He said Russia's use of undersea nuclear mines is a response to the U.S.' overwhelming military might.

He also said planting Russian mole nukes close inshore is part of Russia's tactics of fighting a successful "asymmetric war" against the far more powerful NATO, of which the United States is the linchpin and most powerful member state.

In asymmetric warfare, the weaker side (in this case Russia) uses unconventional and at times illegal tactics, to win the fight against a more powerful enemy. Guerilla warfare such as that practiced by the communist Viet Cong against the U.S. in the Vietnam War is the most successful example of asymmetric warfare.

"'Our asymmetrical response is nuclear warheads that can modify their course and height so that no computer can calculate their trajectory," said Baranetz. "Or, for example, the Americans are deploying their tanks, airplanes and special forces battalions along the Russian border.

"We are quietly 'seeding' the U.S. shoreline with nuclear 'mole' missiles. They dig themselves in and 'sleep' until they are given the command (to detonate)," said Baranetz.

A massive explosion can generate tsunamis as proven by the devastating Halifax Explosion in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada on Dec. 6, 1917. The explosion of the SS Mont-Blanc, a French cargo ship packed with high explosives, in the Narrows, a strait connecting the upper Halifax Harbor to Bedford Basin, created a tsunami that wiped-out a community of Mi'kmaq First Nations people living in Tuft's Cove.

The Halifax Explosion was the largest man-made explosion prior to the development of nuclear weapons. It unleashed the equivalent energy of 2.9 kilotons of TNT and killed 2,000 people while injuring 9,000 others.

The Halifax Explosion, however, occurred in a river and devastated communities along both banks, hence the horrible death toll. There is doubt a nuclear explosion can generate a tsunami in the open ocean.

U.S. experiments conducted from 1944 to 1945 during World War II proved that a single massive conventional explosion can increase tidal heights, but only by a few inches.

The U.S. eventually abandoned its tidal wave creation program called "Project Seal" intended to develop a "Tsunami Bomb" despite the conclusion nuclear weapons might produce tsunamis.

Tests revealed that a single conventional explosion can't produce a tsunami, but a line of explosives amounting to 2,000,000 kg (equivalent to four megatons) can create a tsunami if detonated some 8 km off a coast.
