Please make notes how this area has taken a hit from what I believe is a bioweapon (H1N1 Flu) and now possibly a tectonic weapon like HAARP. Why is Kamchatka so important? Well it’s the home of a powerful Russian nuclear submarine base not to mention an area protected by the S-400 and Pantsir-S air defense systems. I’d expect New Venice Empire skulduggery going on.
