hmmm...knock ‘em back into the 19th century. Except in some places like Afghanistan, that would be an upgrade.

At what altitude would that have to be set off to not affect Israel?

That’s a Pandora’s box best not opened...

Thanks for the heads up. Coast has been freakin boring lately for months and months now so I haven’t listened or checked the programs. Plus his Obama pimping was getting on my nerves. We conservatives are tolerant, but you gotta have something to keep a guy listening.

Not going to happen. The effects of an EMP going off above an industrialized nation are not going to be all that far off from using conventional nuclear bombs. Israel making use of precision strikes, or even a tactical nuke against the nuclear weapon facilities of Iran is one thing - effectively signing the death warrant of millions is another altogether.

Danny Danonm (Likud,) gave an interview with Megyn Kelly this afternoon on Fox. He said straight up they will plunge all of iran into darkness. Period.

What would be really cool is if we could implement the HARRP secret Earth Quake weapon and level all of their cities.

I think that would be worse than actually nuking the cities directly in terms of suffering and loss of life. The advantage would be no fallout on friendly countries. I have often wondered if that is not the purpose of the unmanned space plane that has been orbiting the Earth. Put a nuke calibrated to give off a maximum EMP, fly it over Iran or North Korea and whammo! Wipe out a whole country or region in a split second, or at least all of their electronics and power grid.

Fear of high tech combined with animals or insects is Irans weakness.

let Israel exploit that fear by releasing some specific types of modified robo-insects.

I fondly recall a techno thriller about a certain military group outside normal channels that had enough high tech that they quite literally created a horizon wide holographic image of Mohammed telling his people to commit mass suicide in the name of Allah.

And they fell for it.

Probably a stupid question, but what happens to containment devices and cooling systems for the nuke-stuff they have if electric is gone? Not sure I trust them to have backup systems.
