Nothing that goes that fast underwater can be quiet. If the attacker is close to the target, and 15km counts as close, it may well not matter. Run one of those things for a long time and there will be time to set up countermeasures.
The crew in fact may have other ideas which may include not dying. Suicide weapons have tended to be one-man affairs. Keeping an entire sub crew determined on suicide may be difficult.
However, a doomsday weapon is completely useless unless widely publicized, including efforts to explain why it will work. If you have to dig around to find evidence of a doomsday weapon, then either it isn't, or the government with it is completely inept. Putin isn't completely inept.
Communism provoked strong feelings, for and against, for quite some time early in the 20th Century. Various intellectuals praised the Soviet Union, typically either being unaware of the megamurders or not believing in them. The Soviets weren't at all interested in providing other countries with a view of what was actually happening.
The infatuation with Communism reached a peak in the Great Depression, when it looked like democracy and capitalism had failed. If you didn't actually know what was going on in the USSR, it was easy to imagine it as working better than capitalism and democracy.
Actually, Germany wanted to knock Russia and then Italy out of the war so Germany could concentrate on France and Britain, so the Germans sent Lenin into Russia. That's normally considered the decisive act in the Bolshevik revolution.
The USN also keeps track of Russian submarines through various means. Exactly what they do and how effective it is is classified information, probably Top Secret. I'd have no confidence that a Russian sub could approach a major US coastal city.
From what I've read, Tsar Bomba was a fission-fusion device to cut down on fallout, and the fission-fusion-fission bomb would have been about twice as powerful.
Not to mention that nukes don't work that way in diplomacy. They're only useful for deterrence, or if you intend to start a nuclear war, which Putin isn't. Other than that, they're pretty much useless. So it's a new way to deliver a really big nuke; it's still just a way to deliver a nuke.
In 1982, Britain and Argentina fought over the Falklands (or Malvinas, as you prefer). The fact that Britain is a nuclear power, and quite capable of annihilating Buenos Aires simply didn't play a part.
Budgets can't be filibustered. That's how the stupid tax cut got through; it was treated as a budget. Of course, the stupid Republicans couldn't be bothered to actually put a budget together, so they handed power over to the Senate Democrats when they didn't have to.
The Senate Democrats didn't ask for much: they wanted to add a rider that would do something most of the country is in favor of. However, Republicans have apparently forgotten what politics is about, and instead of negotiating even a little they wanted to stomp on the Democrats. Of course, given their earlier failure to do their jobs, they weren't able to, and they are now perplexed by the situation they made.
That's not an ad hominem. Zondar the Magnificent is not saying that you're stupid, therefore your posts are too. Zondar is saying that your posts are stupid, and not even drawing the obvious conclusion.
Totally believable except for 90% of the property taxes going to the state, I'd say. The company would get a sweetheart deal on its property taxes*, but as housing prices went up the town would get more money.
*Every town would be better if they didn't offer sweetheart deals, but if the company gets so much as one from a stupid city government it will take it.
A big salary with a high cost of living can be a good idea, if there's some room for savings. If it's twice as much salary and twice as much in expenses than someplace else, you can save for retirement in the expensive place and retire to the inexpensive place.
So, to translate, tech employees rent expensive homes, and landlords raise rates to get some of this lucrative business, and evict families? Short of rent control, which comes with a large number of problems of its own, I don't see how to restrict that.
The Constitution says that habeus corpus may not be suspended, except when necessary in cases of rebellion or invasion. There was, indeed, a rebellion going on.
The Emancipation Proclamation was a diplomatic maneuver. It established the Civil War as being over slavery, which made it politically impossible for Britain and France to intervene on behalf of the Confederacy. Lincoln was an abolitionist, but he couldn't arbitrarily free all the slaves in the US.
From the US point of view, there was no Virginia legislature. At that point, it wasn't a state in the US. There was, however, this area that wanted to be a state, and its people would vote for it.
Guess how I know you don't know what you're talking about?
Fascism is right-wing. That's been the consensus until the right-wingers decided it didn't fit their narrative, and started lying about it. It's capitalist authoritarianism, while communism has been run as socialist authoritarianism.
Well, it isn't working, because the Republicans are real big on dodging responsibility. Even now, they're trying to blame the shutdown on the Democrats. They don't want businesses to be held responsible for the harm they do. They're trying to have the government regulate what you can do in your personal life. Many of them are trying to throw out the First Amendment and establish a religion.
Democrats, on the other hand, like it when people have freedom to do things, so much that they dislike it when poverty restricts people's choices.
Ah, someone who hasn't read the Federalist Papers. It pushes the EC as a way to keep people like Trump from being elected President. It describes Trump fairly accurately, in fact.
The other reason the EC was created was to give slave states more power in choosing the President. Slaves and other unfree persons counted as 3/5 of a person when allocating Representatives, so Southern states with large slave populations had a large number of Representatives relative to the number of voters. The EC perpetuated that.
Anything else that the EC does is an accident, not due to design.
The question is not what Apple stock did before you consider a purchase, but what it's likely to do afterwards. If it's going to keep going up, buy. If not, don't buy. Making a guess on this requires more than looking at past performance.
It's not the Schumer shutdown. The Republicans had every opportunity to pass a budget all by themselves. They could have compromised and allowed Schumer to include one rider that most of the US is in favor of. Basically, the Republicans put Schumer in the position of actually having some power, and then refused to negotiate with him.
The people that DACA applies to did not come to the US of their own volition. They have been raised in the US. They're law-abiding residents (if they aren't they're deported), and work and pay taxes.
In most of the world, if you're found to be in a country illegally, with no other issues, they'll deport you.

The US Left prefers not to spend money on military ideas that simply aren't going to work.

There have been submarines carrying torpedoes on the outside of the sub.

Illegally separated? It was an act of the Soviet government. How is that illegal?
Sure there are. You may not have seen them, but there are ways to make a large screen touch-sensitive in some way or another.

And, if California goes Republican again, there's no way the Reps would ever consider allowing the addition of two Democratic Senators.
