A quick addition to my response to what you asked in post #55. Specific to the possibility of the North Korean's setting up a orbiting nuclear device, where it could be detonated over some area of the USA.
Food for thought perhaps that may be a valid point. And beyond that, I am not prepared to go into a long debate.

The Chinese need the USA in tack and in the mode to continue to support their economic growth. That is a no brainer.
Would the Chinese give the NORC permission to screw things up over here, with a EMP attack.
They need us more then we need them from an economic view point. And they have quite a bit invested in the USA in T notes, and other investment derivatives.
That is partly why I hesitate to discuss things of this nature.

In other words as with China concerning Korea attacking the USA with a EMP “ Don’t look a gifted horse in the mouth “ .
