Which makes me mystified about all the silly jokes and pictures posted on these threads about the nork threat. They already HAVE put 4 different packages in orbit. It would only take detonating ONE of these to end life as we know it in CONUS.
I’m way less worried about their detonating a conventional nuke via any sort of ‘icbm’ at an individual city.
EMP attack would get EVERY city simultaneously. With no radioactive no go zones for an invader to worry about.
We’d be worried about where to get a clean drink of water or our next meal. Or how to heat our homes in -20 weather without fireplaces and cords of wood stacked outside. The death toll from an EMP attack would be horrendous.
“With no radioactive no go zones for an invader to worry about.”
Relax. There are hundreds of millions of firearms in this country. And how are these “invaders” going to get here? It’s not like they can just walk here... Any invaders would be dead before they advanced a mile inland.
Absolutely correct. If they just hit a city or two that would be far preferable to an EMP which would be completely devastating.
“They already HAVE put 4 different packages in orbit.”
From my understanding only one of the four is a “satellite” or whatever it is. One is part of the rocket and the other two are much smaller and likely part of the process of detaching the satellite from the vehicle.
radiation is not a concern for an emp
dead body decomposition and disease is, spoiled foods, used up medicine cabinets
cholera, dysentery, and general mayhem...
but only for 3 months, after that, there will be so few people left, if they survived at all, they most likely are pretty plucky...
