One bomb and we're (the few who survive) back in the 1700's.

Nah. Not much worse than 1920 really, maybe even 1960s.

Kids these days...

For all of you saying we would just wipe out NK if they did this...of course we could. If we could determine they were the culprits.

They could fire four pretty simple missiles off four barges off the east coast, west coast, and gulf of mexico. Then blow up the barges. Bye bye evidence.

Every nuke has a signature, so we would for sure know who manufactured them. I’m sure it would be Russian-made. They’ve already lost some. Allegedly, so have we. Just because we know who made it doesn’t mean we know “whodunnit,” or more exactly “who bought it.”

Point is that an attack on the US by EMP weapons will not be pulled off in a way that the attacker will be visible. That would be retarded on their part. Won’t happen. Stop dreaming.

Ironically, it could be the Russians behind all this, just setting up NK to be the patsy. They could (for example) tip off the US that they believe that NK has one of their old EMP nukes. The attack happens and sure enough it was Russian nukes. The Russians help us with proof that it ws NK, and we vaporize NK. Russia is unscathed and comes in to assist us in rebuilding. Damn, I should write a movie.

If that happens the survivors will have to transport by raft, catapults, boulders, and vats of oil (to be set afire) and launched against the Norkos.

North Korea Tests 'Super-EMP' Nuke

"North Korea’s nuclear tests have been dismissed as failures by some analysts because of their low explosive yield. But Dr. Pry believes they bore the “signature” of the Russian-designed “super-EMP” weapon, capable of emitting more gamma radiation than a 25-megaton nuclear weapon. "

any rocket from North Korea is likely to travel over the South Pole and approach from the south

It would be easier for North Korea to drive the rocket in through Mexico, disguised as a taco truck filled with migrant workers.

Jeb Bush would personally be there to welcome such an "act of love."

Thank goodness golf clubs aren’t electric or Obama might be concerned. The golf cart might not work but I am sure he can order some marines to carry him around on a sedan.
