And an EMP doesn’t even have to be particularly well aimed. 2 at 65,000 feet well spaced over the USA would put us back to the 1880’s lifestyle without 1880’s infrastructure. The Amish wouldn’t notice too much, but the rest of us would have a very, very bad problem.
Pray for strength and wisdom for the President.
I appreciate what you are saying, but we can’t put this off any longer.
If we have downside now, it’s better than having it two years from now when Kim has 20-30 massive kiloton bombs aimed at us also.
We have to neuter this threat now.
There may be hell to pay, but it won’t be hell to the 1,000th power, like it would be a few years from now.
But would it?
Yes, we know the seemlingly obvious results of the one test in the south Pacific from the 1950-60 above ground atmospheric test, and we know the several “corona” tests above Alaska with ionized particles in a electro-magnetic field, but do we really know just what will happen in a above-ground nuke blast?
Could be we are fearing much from very little.
Could be we are rightfully fearing much from a very insane dictator powered by a very fearful religious fanatic group funding him..
Explosion has to be exoatmospheric to generate the nation -killing RMP.
