As long as we have ships and boats at sea, we can retaliate overwhelmingly.

No way they can they can get us all with a single nuke.

The accidental EMP in the Pacific covered thousands of square miles.

The military assets we would need to wipe out NK or Iran are EMP hardened.

Thousands of square miles is less than a 50 mile by 50 mile square.

Not big compared to the size of the country.

But put that over a grid like NYC and you would cause major problems AND cascading failures down other grids.

ONE EMP nuke would not do it, you would need several, at strategic grid points.
