They are not interested in hitting California. They are interested in detonating it in the atmosphere over the Pacific and letting the EMP wipe out California.
Which would be right over Silicone Valley.
Oh, I’m aware of the likelihood of that. I was speaking about the question of the OP, which seemed to be written about a more “conventional” sort of use of a nuke.
The projected range of the NORK missile I’ve seen would have them trying for an air burst somewhere over Washington and Oregon. The left coast and big cities of the west would be royally screwed.
And NORK missile submarine that didn’t quickly have an “accident” would amount to dereliction of duty of any POTUS or Russian President.
EMP in the middle of winter over new York. or EMP in the middle of the summer over California or Florida.
And Seattle?
My husband was in Korea in the military and said that in Korea they are sad when you’re born and happy when you die. Life is so hard there. I’ve read about how it is for the North Koreans...but as an American don’t think I really can fully comprehend what it takes to exist there. Why does the world look the other way?? Why does China look the other way?
I wonder if we did what we had to do if in the long run the people of that region, the ones who survuved, would be grateful.
Ships and planes originating from North Korea need to be banned from any point in the Pacific that they would be close enough to detonate a bomb that would affect the U.S.
How about taking a shot at Cheyenne Mountain (NORAD)?
CA....
Can it really happen?
Good lord, our son works in Silicon Valley.
