Everyone should read One Second After.
Terrifying book...
Which makes me mystified about all the silly jokes and pictures posted on these threads about the nork threat. They already HAVE put 4 different packages in orbit. It would only take detonating ONE of these to end life as we know it in CONUS.
I’m way less worried about their detonating a conventional nuke via any sort of ‘icbm’ at an individual city.
EMP attack would get EVERY city simultaneously. With no radioactive no go zones for an invader to worry about.
We’d be worried about where to get a clean drink of water or our next meal. Or how to heat our homes in -20 weather without fireplaces and cords of wood stacked outside. The death toll from an EMP attack would be horrendous.
Terrifying? I guess so.
I consider that a Steven Covey-type of motivational primer for preppers.
