"The President’s point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region. He was not discussing Putin’s power in Russia or regime change."
DITTOS
I find it fascinating that the leftist peaceniks of the 60’s and 70’s morphed into rabid warmongers
LOL! I didn’t hear about this. But of course, I wouldn’t. The Democrat propaganda networks would see to that.
It was a low altitude way over the horizon burst. The fact there was damage from just atmospheric reflections says a lot.
Line of sight the effect is much much much greater. Something akin to standing a few feet from the train tracks vs on them when a train comes by.
The Hawaii damage was from the electrical grid “antenna.” Billions of tons of water and rock between the burst and Hawaii, yet a massive power surge. Most of the EMP power is line of sight. A tiny portion was reflected back by the ionosphere. An orbital burst designed for maximum EMP over the Midwest knocks the US back to the stone age.
The words of the President of the United States have no meaning anymore.
They have walked back, corrected, explained and nuanced him so often that whatever he says, on any subject, cannot be trusted as what he really means.
It wasn’t Biden...it was his controlling white house minders that were horrified and were seeking to have Biden’s words...”reinterpreted”.
We all heard it and so did Putin and it will just piss him off even more. He may just decide that there are no honest brokers anywhere in the west that he could credibly negotiate with right now. Russia has just become to the rest of the world....RGTOA(Russians going their own way)!
Maybe but timing is critical. The shot you are talking about took place at night when the magnetic Van Allen field belts were at their thickest. The fields thin out on the day side so an emp kill shot would have to be much closer to the surface but then it’s range of influence would be considerably shortened.(The sun’s rays push the Magnetic fields and the Van Allen belts towards the darkside so there is lesser magnetic field grid for emp electrons to “hitch a ride on” to the Earth on the day side). Also the night shot was in the megaton range 100 miles above the Earth...so warheads in the kilotonnage range might not have such an effect as you described during the Hawaii event. Also Hawaii was surrounded by salt water and little else. America is a large continent full of Mountains, Valleys, super large transmission towers and steel buildings that might act as “lightning” protectors. EMP damage might not be as all enveloping as one might think. Too much land and structures that would dampen the effects in many areas. Some Geologic features might act as natural “faraday cages” for surrounding communities. An enemy might have to explode 3 or 4 to try to “overlap” to get at everything.
One other issue and it is geo political. If such a shot could be engineered ‘take out’ the USA and it just happens to happen as you have stated it would...then it could not be contained to just the USA. Southern Canada would be wiped out electrically so would regions in Mexico. Cuba would be affected(though much of their cars and electronic infrastructure is still late 50’s and wouldn’t be affected as much). The Caribbean would be knocked back to 1492. There would be significant and scattered effects in central and Northern south America as well. Everyone and thing still surviving in the Western Hemisphere will be screaming for revenge!
Do you consider American civilization in 1870 to be “the stone age”?
Bingo
HAhahaha
You’re stepping right into the same pile of “regime change” nonsense we’ve been stepping into since 2002. Just like they want you to.
Given that the population was self sufficient and today’s population is not, no I consider them rather advanced.
Show me a person who can be self sufficient today and I will show you a tiny minority of the population. It would spiral into complete anarchy. The cities would explode. It would be survival of the best armed and best aim. It would be stone age with guns.
You are 100% correct. My premise stands though. An EMP attack would lead to carnage here in the US and massive retaliation. The world as we know it would end.
If 10 years ago I would have said a global pandemic was likely because of CRISPR, you would have said I was a nut.
Kill the Russian Invaders!
Ha.....many a true word spoken in jest.
How do “cyber attacks” (of the sort Russia has tried, with limited success) “suggest possible future nationwide blackouts caused by super-EMPs”? The two processes are nothing alike, other than intent, and even that is considerably different, as the cyber attack does little to no physical damage to computer equipment itself.
Scientists can be whacky (esp. when hawking research $$) but most engineers know their stuff, at least within their specialties. Otherwise (for example) you would not be reading this.
We already call him "Barely there Biden", and that's far more effective, IMO.
Biden won't be gone until the Obama Regime decides he's no longer worth the risk.
...although he's probably nearing that point with them.
He was just parroting what was discussed in their focus group before they handed him the finalized talking points to read on camera.
