Yeah except that the only current manner to produce an EMP is to explode a nuclear bomb...that has world wide consequences that are far worse than losing the grid

Right now the fat boy can’t get a rocket off the launch pad

You're wrong, there are non-nuclear methods to create EMP: The Electromagnetic Bomb - a Weapon of Electrical Mass Destruction.

Uh, “Fat Boy” has 2, count’em, 2 satellites in orbit. How’s that for “can’t get a rocket off the launch pad?”

Underestimating the capabilities and intent of enemies is a fatal conceit that has cost many nations, and many tens of millions of people, their lives. I’d prefer to be a bit paranoid and alive, than happy-go-lucky and watch my family starve to death, thank you very much.

Actually, we now possess a EMP weapon that is mounted on a cruise missile. I think Lockheed makes it.

Supposedly it can target specific buildings.

Except for those two satellites that NK has launched that traverse the United States every day or so.
They probably are nothing but bowling balls....today.
