Who would we launch against? The norks?
Would they notice?
If we EMP’d the norks we’d also cause the South Koreans a lot of pain.
If we nuked them South Korea and Japan would get fallout as well. Are we willing to do that?
Meanwhile, every big city burns to the ground. And with them go a lot of the tech talent necessary to stage any sort of recovery. And that’s assuming the Chinese sell us the equipment we’d need to begin with.
I am not saying launch nukes except at NK or the perpetrator(s). Just emps (yes I know they are technically nukes). Preventative leveling. I have no problem being set back a few years I am prepared and have the property means to sustain it. I just do not want us open to invasion because we chose a “higher road” and were above bringing everyone back in time with us.
There are worse things than having to rebuild our country after an emp attack, like having to do that while learning to speak Chinese or Russian.
