So this is probably just conspiracy nonsense, but I ran across a weird tweet earlier from a former Turkish politician (İbrahim Melih Gökçek, was just a mayor, nothing important) which had a video of a Romanian senator (Diana Iovanovici Șoșoacă) supposedly saying that the recent earthquake in Turkey was man made, and that the US was behind it.

I can't understand the video because she is speaking romanian, it is only a couple minutes long so if anyone can understand romanian and wouldn't mind translating I'd appreciate it, even just a rough overview of what she says. Here is the tweet/video

Also found this article from 2017 where Ibrahim Melih talks about his suspicions that some of the earthquakes affecting Turkey were possibly man-made.

"Induced seismicity" is the technical term, apparently a lot of research has been done on it
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_seismicity#:~:text=Induced%20seismicity%20is%20typically%20earthquakes,is%20of%20a%20low%20magnitude.

I don’t believe this is true, but it doesn't seem impossible, either way I thought it was a pretty crazy thing for a politician to be saying, so thought it might be interesting to discuss.


the bolded part is what i mean, lunacy like this shouldnt be humored at any level

if you think its an insult towards you, thats a self report :ph34r:

Yeah I assumed you meant her but from watching the video of what she said, it doesn't seem like she is denying the science behind what causes earthquakes, she is saying that one was triggered on purpose, which actually is technically possible at least according to that Wikipedia article.

I don't think she is right, it sounds like a pretty crazy theory to me but I don't think she is ignorant to what causes an earthquake which is what it seemed like your comment was implying.
