The Russian Orbiting Tsunami Weapon

The following video was posted in another board I frequent.



The owner of the board often posts conspiracy ideas that seem to point to end-times prophecy... I try to hinder such things by pointing out facts. And, I'm sorry, but this was just WAY too easy.

The following was my response:

First off, it's good to be back for this small bit. :D

Second of all - really, Tali? Space Tsunami weapon? >.>
Let us look at the man saying it. Vladimir Zhirinovsky is the loud-mouth idiot of Russia. This isn't the first time that he's swung his arms around like an idiot and grandstanded with enough nonsense to fill Sarah Palin's coffee cup for a year - if you were to look into russian politics, the man has only represenative power, but nothing else. He's a dog that likes to nip at heels, so to say. He's talked about everything from poisoning political enemies and coworkers to nuking Europe.
Remember - I have a clearance. There's a reason I'm laughing at him, too.

Third, let us think of this.
A Tsunami Weapon in Outer Space.
1) This sort of thing sounds much more evil than all of the ex-communist Russians can offer. Perhaps we are being fooled! I propose that we shift our focus to the real mastermind behind this threat to humanity:

2) Think about how Tsunamis work. You can't just fire some superlaser from orbit and cause a tsunami. It requires a massive force - such as that caused by a nuclear warhead. And, even then, the United States tested nukes out in the Pacific before and it didn't NEARLY cause this mutch damage (and it was strong enough to literally rend the atmosphere around the area for a bit by turning it into raw energy!)
The Earthquake that triggered that even was the equivalent of 6.7 trillion tons of TNT - It was so strong that it knocked the Earth off-orbit slightly! A nuclear weapon with that strong of a release would have been seen from California, ripped apart the atmosphere, and thrown all of our satellites out of orbit. From a central point moving outward (instead of spread across the surface, like that of an Earthquake's vibration on plates), it would have pushed the Earth MILES out of orbit.

And, Finally, the most compelling counter-argument. That of intelligence.
The purpose of labelling an object as Classified is the fact that wars are won simply upon the information you have and the secrets you keep. You don't let the enemy know about something such as an ace-in-the-sleeve like that - think about when the world found out that the United States DEFINATELY had an atomic bomb. Up untill Hiroshima, it was mostly the opinion of the rest of the world that we hadn't made it into a usable device quite yet.
And then AFTER Hiroshima, the Japanese didn't give up because they thought that we would only have one, and that we would never do it again. We dropped another, and the war ended within 24 hours.

It's all about what you know, and what you keep hidden from the enemy that makes you superrior in combat - and the way this idiot talks, he doesn't seem to know anything. >.>
