Iffen the NOrks DO hit us, it’ll be with a High Altitude (300 miles up kinda high) EMP nuke.
We make ABSOLUTELY NO PREPARATION for this kid of hit. It will essentially wipe out anything connected to the electrical grid—or stand-alone computers (like the dozen or so in YOUR CAR).
Bankrupcies? THAT’S your worry???? Yagottabekidding. Try no power, no water, no heat, no oil production, no industrial farming, refrigeration, etc. TRY-STARVING TO DEATH!
Yeah, we’ll lose all right.
your simpler more direct approach to
an attack sounds more realistic and
much more frightening-—thanks for
sharing-—food for thought
i am so totally unprepared for any of
these-—seemingly-—outlandish possibilities

The North Koreans have orbited a satellite, and its still in orbit.

It’s in a 300 by 360 mile, nearly polar orbit, orbital period about 95 minutes.
If they have the capacity to launch in a more easterly path, they can improve on the payload to orbit. They will pass over the United States a number of times each day. They don’t have to target with any precision, simply explode their weapon at a time that maximizes the effect of the EMP blast.
What looks like an innocent toy satellite explodes without warning.
Combine your post with the one just before it, and you have a missile with a warhead smuggled in via container ship, then launched straight up from the interior of the US. It takes about 5 mins to reach 250-300 miles altitude for HEMP. We would not be able to stop that.
