The Norkies and Iran are not considered big enough players to bring on a Doomsday. Only the US, Russia, and China could do that.
Not considered a big enough threat by whom, I wonder? And does that person have any idea what is meant by EMP?
Perhaps their conception of doomsday is a bit different from mine. I think being blasted back to the 1850s by a high altitude nuclear blast or two is enough doomsday to register on my meter.
Admittedly it is not instant incineration, turn-the-sand-to-glass, radiation-everywhere nuclear holocaust, which does take the Chinese or the Russians. But millions would likely die, especially if carried out in late fall or early winter. Yep, it’s on my doomsday meter.
