More pointless chicken little BS.

The bulk of our military hardware is hardened against EMP attacks.

The only use for said weapons is suicide, assuming we have a capable POTUS.

Yes, but someone somewhere needs some grant funds or sell some more books and reality does not matter to them.

It would indeed be suicide for any nation or nations to attempt to cut off come between the Pentagon and our forces.

At any given time we have approximately 12 missile carrying submarines (Ohio Class) on patrol in all the oceans of the world. These submarines carry a combined total of approximately 3000 nuclear warheads on the missiles they carry. Each of the missiles on these submarines are capable of carrying up to 10 independently targeted nuclear bombs, each approximately 25 times more powerful then those we dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Each of these submarines must make contact with the Pentagon once every 24 hours. If they cannot do so after a programmed series of tries the submarines will then assume that we have been attacked and will launch their missiles on assigned targets.

Just one of these subs can obliterate an entire nation.

How much of our civilian electrical grid is hardened? That is what is critical. We lose our grid, we lose the ability to sustain ourselves. Sure we can return nuke strike - our nation and citizens will be critically hit and unrecoverable for years.

Canadian mikitary is hardened too, so is any other first world country. You’re missing the point or are underestimating the affect that they would still have.

It’s no secret though that they want to destroy the west, and we’ve funded it and gave them the technology to do it, or allowed our leaders to.
