Geez..... Not this crap again.
The headline is sensationalist nonsense.
The one thing an EMP attack won’t take out is our retaliatory capacity.
This assumes that eventually we will once again have a president who isn’t in bed with the Muslim terrorist theocrats in Iran and elsewhere.
If they do it, they had better do it while Princess Obongo is still in office.
Supposedly our nuclear command structure is hardedned against EMP and our nuclear subs are safe. Back in the day the Russians knew if they attacked the U.S. there would be a massive nuclear retaliation. Perhaps the N. Koreans and the Iranians need to understand that an EMP attack against the U.S. would bring a massive nuclear strike on their countries that would leave them nothing but radioactive rubble. Unfortunately Obama has shown nothing but weakness and capitulation and this could be interpreted by these rogue states that they could get away with crippling the U.S. with an EMP bomb. I’m not so sure that Obama would do anything to retaliate to any country attacking the homeland. Perhaps our next president could make it clear that an EMP strike on the U.S. would bring nuclear retaliation on any nations involved
Read the novel “One Second After”. Horrifying.
Has the premise been debunked or something?
get yourself a generator, and keep it in a metal shed
Read up on ‘faraday cage’
Put a metal floor on the shed too- you can cover it with plywood but make sure the metal from the roof, sides, and floor all have direct contact with each other
and ground it with a nice metal stake
I was wondering where the Y2K folks went!
Pure Bullcrap. I guess this is why we and the USSR built 15 to 20 thousand bombs during the cold war. Turns out all along we both only needed one.
Silliness.
The Nork and Iranian bombs are designed to do exactly ONE thing. Make them invasion proof. They saw Desert Storm, and they saw us remove Saddam after 911. They saw what we did in Libya. They know we wont start and invasion or attack against any nuclear nation.
No US formations would have penetrated into Iraq if there was a risk that a nuke would detonate in the path of an entire force as it moved in. For that matter, even the most casual observer of war cant fail to notice that if you simply possess a bomb, you are not attacked, air raided, or destabilized etc.
That’s all this is.
I don’t know about one bomb. Maybe three, tuned for gamma-ray yield, launched and detonated at the appropriate altitude above LA, Kansas City, and NYC...
EMP might take out a whole city. No way a single one could take out the whole country.
