OK Bender, just sit in your bunker and shiver in fear. The big bad EMP is coming to take away your electricity.
Knock out the whole country. HAHAHAHA!!!
You are really one cold piece of manure, Pappy, are you not?
No one said anything about cringing in a bunker.
I only said that the Iranian ship was big enough to hide a rocket capable of firing a nuclear EMP weapon 300 miles over Kansas from the Gulf of Mexico. Exploding such would cause wide spread damage destroying all unprotected solid-state electronics which for the most part run all our cars, trucks, power plants (both conventional and nuclear), water plants, computers, I-pads, phones, kitchen appliances, you name it.
This would effect about 200 million people who live in fly-over country between LA and New York, putting them effectively back in the electronic stone age. No food nor medicine except what is on hand at the moment of the EMP. No way to get immediate help as all cars, trucks and railroad locomotives will not run. No phone, no computer, no I-pad, no electricity, no water to drink or fight fire. Of that 200 million effected I said up to 100 million would probably starve to death or die from lack of medical attention and/or supplies before proper help could reach them.
It is a capability that exist and is well known. I know you most likely do not know what 'capability' means, so here is the definition: 'A talent, ability or happenstance that has potential for development or use. Often used in military parlance.' If you don't understand any of these words, use your old pal Google.
Even the source you smugly Googled and offered up supports my posts rather than your "The Soviets actaully did it to their own people and it didn’t even knock out a town" post in retort.
And now after being shown to not know anything about what you claim, you add with a laugh: The big bad EMP is coming to take away your electricity. Knock out the whole country. HAHAHAHA!!!
You have proven you do not read your own source and if you read your own posts you would see what any reasonable person would see: an ignorant, non-caring little fool who is most likely either an ill-educated immature teenager or a grown man who never grew up nor ever got any book learning and has no likelihood in ever doing so.
And if a EMP did happen, you would probably be among the first to die because such unprepared simpletons always are--
So, if you wish to make a point of it, come knock on my front door and repeat your smug crap. I'll happily open the door and let you see that I am a sixty-seven year old man on a quad-cane.
I don't cringe, Pappy, nor shiver in fear. I was a Boy Scout before I got a college education and I am prepared for numb-nut airheads like you.
LOL
You know what would be fun to have?
A cell phone jammer that shuts down everyone’s phone around me within a few hundred feet.
A few years ago I read that they sold them in Canada.
In the early 1980s TV Movie 'The Day after' the Soviet ICBM nuke explosion shut off all the cars on the road in a scene. I recently found that movie on the internet and watched it again. Maybe that is where some of this 'science' is coming from.
