SEOUL/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - North Korea said on Wednesday it had successfully tested a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that could reach all of the U.S. mainland.

Research Kwangmyongsong-4 (KMS-4), a
North Korean Satellite recently launched, along with Two Russian Generals
warning the EMP Commission in 2004 that Russia's Super-EMP Warhead technology was "accidentally" transferred to North Korea, and a man named James Oberg.
Read page 4, paragraphs 4 thru 7, off the report titled:
STATEMENT FOR THE RECORD
DR. WILLIAM R. GRAHAM, CHAIRMAN
DR. PETER VINCENT PRY, CHIEF OF STAFF
COMMISSION TO ASSESS THE THREAT TO THE UNITED STATES FROM
ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE (EMP) ATTACK
TO
U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND SECURITY
SUBCOMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCY HEARING
EMPTY THREAT OR SERIOUS DANGER:
ASSESSING NORTH KOREAS RISK TO THE HOMELAND
October 12, 2017
North Korea Nuclear EMP Attack:
An Existential Threat
...
Or an EMP attack might be made by a North Korean satellite, right now.
A Super-EMP weapon could be relatively small and lightweight, and could fit inside North Koreas Kwangmyongsong-3 (KMS-3) and Kwangmyongsong-4 (KMS-4) satellites. These two satellites presently orbit over the United States, and over every other nation on Earth--demonstrating, or posing, a potential EMP threat against the entire world.
North Koreas KMS-3 and KMS-4 satellites were launched to the south on polar trajectories and passed over the United States on their first orbit. Pyongyang launched KMS-4 on February 7, 2017, shortly after its fourth illegal nuclear test on January 6, that began the present protracted nuclear crisis with North Korea.
The south polar trajectory of KMS-3 and KMS-4 evades U.S. Ballistic Missile Early Warning Radars and National Missile Defenses, resembling a Russian secret weapon developed during the Cold War, called the Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS) that would have used a nuclear-armed satellite to make a surprise EMP attack on the United States. 7

It goes all the way back to William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, and his changing the authorization to sell missile and rocket technology to China, by making it come under the "Commerce Department" instead of the "Department of Defense".
Also read:
MAY 11, 1999, Bill Clinton gave the Chinese permission to launch our satellites.
Don't you remember Loran ?
And Bill Clinton also gave China the computer technology to forecast high altitude weather, critical to launching missiles/rockets, and then China was finally able to get their second stage rockets to work.

And Bill Clinton also gave China the computer technology to forecast high altitude weather, critical to launching missiles/rockets, and then China was finally able to get their second stage rockets to work.So you can personally thank William Jefferson Blythe Clintonfor giving China, Pakistan, and North Korea, the ability to get a multi-stage rocket off the ground
and the ability to control the satellite/NUCLEAR WARHEAD once launched.
Also along with that was the ability to CONTROL OUR satellites.

Something tells me I’m not worried. We got the right man in the WH. If the SHTF we may have to let them take the first big swing. Thanks to 3 presidents. The issue would then be settled. Remember it was the Norks who started the last war.

There's a lot we can do,
and there's a lot the South Korean Military can do.But you just don't hear about
their capabilities !
I've got 5 short tours in the ROK,
and I'm telling you from a Control Tower Watch Supervisor's perspective,
It'll be over quicker than you think,
and North Korea won't have the chance to do what many LIBERALS and DOVES think they can !
What about our
ASM-135 ASAT missile or
other weapon systems we have ?
What about our
X-37B ?
We HAVE the capability.
What we've lacked ...
is the "WILL" to USE it ! But Trump does NOT have that problem.
Do you think the artillery south of the DMZ that the ROK has, as well as the United States Army has, is just going to sit there and allow Seoul to be destroyed ?
What do you think their FIRST targets will be ?
Our's as well as the ROK's artillery are already
'dialed in' on those North Korean artillery sites, as well as the barracks that house the North Korean soldiers that man those sites.
How many of those north Korean Artillery sites are controlled by electronics (computers) ?
Do you know about CHAMP and its capabilities ?
Do you know about MOP ("
Massive Ordnance Penetrator").
What do you think those THREE Carrier Groups are there for ?
Timing, and the planning of the timing of the attack (right down to the very second that each 'tool' is launched) ... is critical.
Nathan Bedford Forrest :
I always make it a ruleto get there first with the most men
I just took the short cut and got there first with the most men.
When it comes to North Korea...
FIRST, We take out their satellites. (ASM-135 ASAT missile)
Second, we zap them with EMP Cruise Missiles, radar jamming and chaff. (Counter-electronics High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP) )
Then here comes the ICBMs.
Then the all out strike begins. Kim Jong-un gets a MOAB suppository.
Then we launch every aircraft in the region thats supersonic, including South Koreas fighters and bombers, to cross into North Korea from all directions, to overfly low level at Mach One PLUS, to bust every piece of glass in North Korea.
Then we firebombs the place to ashes.
The only real transportation system North Korea has is the railroads, so they get blown to smithereens.
And thats just the start of day one.
And then we'll send in the Republic of (South) Korea's military in to KILL ANYTHING LEFT ALIVE NORTH OF THE DMZ !

Can they take out one of our cities? Turns out Saddam was not 10 feet tall. If it’s over quickly I’d say Iran is next. We owe them a punch in the nose. The rest of the world will follow.

Nobody’s going to do anything. America, SK, and Japan will sit on their hands and just sabre rattle or bleat about sanctions because they were too cowardly to do anything in all the decades before NK developed their missile tech, which was the time to act. So why would they do anything now? China and Russia are so blinded by hatred for the US that they’ll play dumb while helping the Norks just to annoy us. The UN is useless as always. It’s always easier to just do nothing and let the cancer grow and leave it for the doctor down the road than to be brave enough to swallow your medicine for immediate pain and the scales just got tilted even further. Sad to say it might take an actual nuclear attack to get people to do something and maybe not even that.

ASM-135 was never deployed, the program was cancelled in 1988 and all missiles were destroyed years ago.
Due to Obama, the only ASAT/ABM defenses we currently have are upgraded Aegis missile ships. And they’re not all that great.
The X-37B does not currently have the capability to mount significant weapons systems.

I call bllsht! Might reach the US West Coast but with very little accuracy. If it can reach our East Coast it will be with zero accuarcy. Meaning if it targets NYC it will hit Vermont instead.
What we really need to worry about is the Norks sending us one of their ICBMs with an EMP nuclear device that detonates high up. Accuracy can be wide for such an action and could really do damage to our West Coast with blackouts. Killing automobile electronics and same for electricity transmission.

Hate to interrupt our group chest thumping, but when has any nation with a nuclear arsenal and delivery means voluntarily given up their program? I do not doubt Trump’s resolve, but I doubt America’s stomach for anymore conflict. China is calling the shots in North Korea. Fat Boy is a puppet.

Well, I certainly hope South Africa did. I shudder at the prospect of the current government there being a nuclear power.

“China is calling the shots in North Korea. Fat Boy is a puppet.”
Everyone knows that. The trick is to play the game as if you DON’T know, and keep yanking Fat Boy’s strings.
The Puppeteer will either let go, or hang on tighter.
If he lets go, Fat Boy goes down ALONE, and HARD.
If he hangs on tighter, Trump pulls him right on out into the bright lights for a dose of global humiliation. And Fat Boy STILL gets his ass waxed. ALONE.

...”As long as there are no riots then leaders in modern democracies will just cruise along and let problems grow.”...
When we consider the insanity of the US culture now and the ignorance and hatefulness of it’s media, it’s entertainment, it’s governing class, academia, etc., where big pharma was able to produce a product which was more addictive than any illegal drug and able to market it to unsuspecting doctors and patients to the point of addiction that the world has never known. In addition, family connections are now lost for nearly half this population, removing the foundation of government and society, needed for rearing responsible individuals. Open borders are promoted which invite foreign invasion large enough to quietly take over our government without any notice. Children are being told they cannot rely on what gender they are at birth? Now, we have widespread sexual predator behavior running rampant in our ruling class, which we know has been ignored for many years, for political reasons. The person who said that “truth is stranger than fiction” was exactly right if they consider this nation today. Who would have believed that our politicians would organize themselves into such a small and powerful group that they could do to a sitting President what they are trying to do to duly elected Donald Trump. Vile human nature, lusting for power, created all this and much more and there is nothing new under the sun. Also, there is nothing new regarding the consequences of all this, either. History tells us so. Only God knows what is to come. We cannot survive an EMP, but some of our enemies can for they are not so “civilized” as to rely on the products of silicon valley for long term survival. My goodness! I have rambled all over the place. There is just so much wrong. However, hope beats eternal in the human breast, and my hope was born in Bethlehem a long time ago. I believe His spirit will protect our President and strengthen His people for whatever comes.

Correction: What informed person can be surprised at what these leaders have done when we consider the insanity of the US culture now and the ignorance and hatefulness of its media, its entertainment, its governing class, academia, etc., where big pharma was able to produce a product which was more addictive than any illegal drug and able to market it to unsuspecting doctors and patients to the point of addiction that the world has never known.”...

I retired out of the USAF after 26+ years, and then did 5 years with the FAA, and most of it was Control Tower.
