If they do, the few lights that they do have will be snuffed out permanently.
The fat little monster would lose all his playthings.
He may be stupid, he may be brutal, he may be insane, but he’s still capable of basic arithmetic, which is why he eliminates whole families of any and all perceived enemies.
Obama, you’d better do something. This might interfere with your golf games and fundraisers.
There is merit to the EMP, but not the over-hype. It would take quite a few EMP’s to do the job; one will just hurt us regionally. Beyond that, the NORK’s would cease to exist about 32 minutes later. I’m sure Canada would get in on the action because EMP doesn’t stop at borders. Mexico? I hope they are spared. Maybe their peep’s here will go home then.
Worry about the open borders and the 20,000 MANPADs
given to al Qaeda, first.
17000 mile minimum, out of a 10k missile. I doubt it.
Yeah but they keep electromagnetising themselves instead. That’s why Kim Jong-un’s hair look like it does.
“North Korea is likely to travel over the South Pole”
Really, what rocket does NK have that can travel to Japan let alone under the South Pole
Basic math and travel time would let you know we have lots of satellites, aircraft and etc that could easily shoot it down.
NK wants more money from Americans - this is just there supporters saying hey, give them money to come talk.
If 0bama gets his way with the severe reduction in our nuclear forces, we might have a hard time answering.
Sounds like a fantastic opportunity for us to shut down another 50 nuclear missile sites! /sar
We’ll just pull out their one plug and the country will go dark!
Everyone here is replying emotionally, saying what they would do if THEY were President after suffering an EMP attack.
But that’s silly —the President is a completely different creature who strongly believes that his duty is to usher in a new Era Of Fairness in which the USA is diminished and has a level of power that is AVERAGE by global standards.
People aren’t considering that such an attack by NK might ENHANCE Obama’s goals time-frame.
It’s likely Obama would make scary speeches but would order NO counter-attack.
More likely he would make a counter-attack that had absolutely no goal other than attending to POTUS appearances.
Hearing sabre-rattling talk HERE is silly.
It’s only dark speculation but I might even consider such reports as POTUS conceptual prep-work for HIM ordering exactly such an attack —UPON *US*.
Just what barry and eric need right now with a few member of congress after them. A perfect diversion.

I suppose the danger would be if they got more help from China or Iran, for example. I still wonder if the EMP hype is commiserate to the threat.
If they ever decide to do that, launch two: one for us and one for themselves. It will save us the trouble of reducing that barbarian wasteland to a radioactive barbarian wasteland.
Sure, and their fleet of Yugo’s can out class any Corvette in a 1/4 mile race....
How many minutes would it take to destroy the DPRK from one squadron of bombers or one submarine? And why hasn’t that happened already? Anyone here think that Washington, Madison, Monroe, Adams, Jackson, Lincoln, Grant, Teddy, McKinley, Coolidge, Ike, FDR, Truman or Reagan wouldn’t have already done so based on their threats, capability and known lunacy?
