In other news today: "40 Million Russians To Take Part In "Nuclear Disaster" Drill, Days After US General Warns Of War With Moscow"
If an EMP were to happen or some other catastrophic event, we will need men and women who are capable of doing dirty work such as exterminating our enemies. I only pray that enough will answer that call.
I seem to remember Newt Gingrich talking about this a month or so ago on the Hannity radio show, IIRC.
If it is “Real and Imminent”, then take it out of orbit. Duh.
‘... or carry it out with an American missile and blame it on them.’
So who, inside the govt, would do this or does Barry hire a foriegn actor equipped with a US nuke device. The former is hard to imagine. My take is NK and Iran will tag team an EMP strike against us. Iran supplies the delievery vehicle and NK the warhead.
I’m pretty sure an EMP attack on the US would trigger full nuclear retaliation just as if they hit us with a traditional nuke, so it seems like a very foolish strategy.
I am aware of the dangers posed by an EMP.
But what would North Korea have to gain by destroying their own country? Kim is going to do things that in his own best interest.
What benefit would he gain?
He HAS to understand that his country would be completely flattened. If there is a reasonable answer to this, I would love to hear it.
(At least I understand Iran’s leaders WANT to bring about the end of days...but not Kim.)
The threat is real, but it will not come from the Norks.
Building a crude nuke is one thing. Miniaturizing it to such an extend and then launching it into orbit is something else again.
I hate to give anyone any ideas, but early November would be the perfect time to pull something like this.
Obama has already sown so much division that it would hamper our ability to respond even without the communications breakdown that would ensue.
But on top of that, we have two presidential candidates that would likely go in completely different directions on most issues and (if the polls are to be believed) neck and neck for the election to POTUS.
So you’d have a situation with a lamest of lame duck, a damaged infrastructure, and no clear leader able to take over. If Obama tried to stick around, it would be almost as bad as if either Trump or Clinton tried to assert themselves as the rightful new President. Without an election, no one could take the reigns with any degree of effectiveness. It’s almost a perfect storm of chaos.
And that doesn’t even begin to consider the issues with the military thanks to King O.
Jericho redux?
Strangely sparse mention of this story. Drudge has it up.
I started a thread from the Interfax.ru news report
It is much to do about nothing. The Norks will never be a threat to the US.
And we just had the second ever nationwide Emergency Alert System test September 28th.
“There needs to be a minimum of 3 layers of aluminum foil completely surrounding the device.
Use a minimum of 5 layers if you’re not going to be using a second layer of shielding, e.g. the metal trash can.
The foil must not contact the device directly, so first wrap it in paper or cloth. I use cloth.
The foil-wrapped device must not touch the inside of the outer Faraday container.
In order for the Faraday cage to be effective, the metal needs to completely surround the device being protected.
Use heavy duty aluminum foil, the thicker the better.”

Note:
Russia has just reactivated numerous Shortwave frequencies for RU State broadcast use:

Isn’t shortwave radio used for Energency Services response?
Follow RU Mil activity more closely should diplomatic rhetoric escalate.
