N Korea is already third-world. An EMP wouldn’t do much. A conventional nuke, if any, would be called for.
The trouble, though, is that Iran probably has a package or 2 up there already also, ready to fire at any time. And Ahmadinejad is saying the US will be destroyed in the next year or 2 (can’t remember which).
We have to close up that gap in our radar defense if we have any hope of continued existence. But then, do we have anything that would be able to catch a nuke headed toward us even if we detected it in time?
The Super EMP would destroy even the best-protected electronics, the article said. 200 million expected to die within 2 years of an attack. They can easily put an EMP in the middle of the US - right where I’m at - and it would affect the entire country.
Time to get my daughter a bike, I think, if she’s gonna make it home if/when this thing hits.
It would be a whole lot of death on a scale not seen before and you can be sure no one is going to come to our aid; they won’t be able to. From the EMP moment on the global economy simply vanishes. An EMP on the U.S. literally erases most of the world’s wealth. We won’t be the only ones going down.
