The math for this is ridiculous. To start with, name a disaster that will disable all of the US at once, but while leaving our entire population alive.

They suggested an EMP attack. To have a significant effect on the US, it would have to be a high altitude burst of at least 1 megaton. This means it would have to be launched by Russia, China, Britain, Israel, or the US itself.

If Russia or China did it, this would start WWIII, assuming that Obama didn’t immediately surrender, in which case his head would be on a pole and then the war would begin.

Alternatively, an international financial collapse would take quite a while to develop, giving people lots of time to mitigate things.

or the US itself.

I would not put that past the zer0 to do.

“it would have to be a high altitude burst of at least 1 megaton”

Not true. the EMP intensity difference between a 1kT, a 10kT, and a 100kT device are not that significant if detonated at the same altitude (greater than 20 miles or so)

>> name a disaster that will disable all of the US at once <<

1. Earthquake
2. Grid Attack
3. Large Solar Flare
4. Asteroid Impact
5. Civil War
6. Large Scale Terror/False Flag Attack

Need more?

Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

In any such event, this ‘selfish’ prepper will not hesitate to use lethal force to protect my people and my supplies.

Have a nice day.

Or your average CME from Ol' Sol at midday in the US.
