That’s old-school thinking. With an EMP weapon, you don’t need the sophisticated targeting or re-entry technology. You set the weapon off in space. There are estimates that up to 90% of the US population could die in a year. That is FAR more than a single H-Bomb hitting a single US city.

He is far more likely to try an EMP attack. He already has two satellites in orbit that pass south-to-north over the US every day.

EMPs are set off in the atmosphere not space. It must re-enter to be effective.

I doubt that what he has is really useful as an EMP. He might partially knock out our grid temporarily. But he’d go down irrespective.

That said we can’t let this go on much longer. He’s a psychopath.

“There are estimates that up to 90% of the US population could die in a year.”

I absolutely do not believe that. I say pure BS.

[dinodino]

Utter nonsense. This so-called EMP threat is a bunch of hysterical horsesh1t and I wish people would stop repeating it.

Why didn't this happen with Starfish Prime?

Ok, a question. I’m asking because I really don’t know the answer. If an EMP attack can devastate the power grid in the entire US and kill 90% of the population within a year, what will it do to neighboring countries? I know the effects of any attack won’t just automatically stop at the US border. What will it to Canada, Mexico and maybe other countries? This is sort of like a biologic attack, the germs don’t give a crap about borders. Now, wouldn’t much of the entire world be wanting FatBoy’s head? He has to realize the repercussions of any such “high tech” attack. Also there would be refugees out the yin and the yang, and they are going SOMEWHERE. This disaster would not be confined merely to the US.

Kim had better hope he gets all the Boomer Submarines too. Hint, he won't.

Wouldn't it require a pretty big bomb to disable the entire US power grid?

Gee wonder what President we have to thank for that?

As per Wikipedia, first orbital launch Dec. 12, 2012...

I don’t get it - WHY aren’t they afraid of US (the U.S.) doing THAT to THEM???
