BREAKING: Russia's only nuclear submarine base in the Pacific—Vilyuchinsk—may have just been crippled by a magnitude 8.8 earthquake and tsunami waves over 4 meters/13 feet high. This base supports the Borei-class submarines armed with Bulava nuclear missiles—one leg of Russia’s strategic nuclear triad. It has no backup. If the infrastructure at Avacha Bay is damaged, Russia's Pacific deterrent is gone. So why is the Kremlin silent? The last time Russia lost a submarine - Kursk in 2000 - Putin let 118 men die rather than admit failure. That was in peacetime. What happens now, in the middle of a war? Is this a tectonic disaster—or a strategic collapse?
