I never said it did. In fact, why don't YOU read what I posted a little more carefully?
The point is, to destroy electronic in space, means they take out their stuff at the same time, and anything on the ground also KILLS EVERYONE!! SO WTF is the point worrying about an "EMP attack? What you SHOULD worry about, is being FRIED BY A NUCLEAR BOMB PERIOD!!
Again (maybe you aren't reading...1) If they are a small nation and only have a few satellites to begin with...what do they care. 2) We obviously aren't too concerned with losing a few satellite (and neither are the Russians) because we (and they) have weapons designed for this purpose. It doesn't take out ALL THEIR STUFF...just the stuff that happens to move through (via orbit) the blast area.
AND...AGAIN...from the report to Congress from the Experts in the field
"To produce maximum coverage for the HEMP effect, a nuclear device must explode very high in the atmosphere, too far away from the earth’s surface to cause injury or damage directly from heat or blast."
SO WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT EVERYONE BEING KILLED?!!!!! That's the point of an EMP...to not kill anyone by "FRYING" them. It won't kill you...just put you back to the 19th century in a microsecond.
Provide PROOF that it will kill you from blast effects. Or stop talking about it.
