The key to the EMP scare is that it requires detonating a large thermonucler warhead high over the USA and our Ohio-class SSBNs are hardened against EMP. Using that weapon is an act of nuclear war and we have procedures in place for that and those procedures involve the Ohio-class SSBNs. A towelhead with a suitcase nuke is not going to be able to make this attack a reality.

So after Iran , Libya or N Korea fires a long dong silver III missile from a non-descript vessel just off our coast to a height of 200 miles over IOWA what are our “procedures” , strike at all possible aggressors? Might make you feel good but that doesn’t save American lives. Maybe it was Putin? ... Me? I’m marching the family to the beach if I can’t get a car to run and stealing a sailboat...I’ll just keep going until I see harbor lights on at night.

That’s a great plan. Very similar to mine.
