What would the country look like after 6m it takes to recover key components of the grid?
Do you have clean water and food set aside for the engineers that would be responsible for building that stuff out?
It was dicey after 6w in rural MS without power. Imagine a big city.
Again, they only have a very low yield nuke and it’s doubtful they could even launch it....
If Russia or China did it with a high yield nuke that’s entirely different....
So if the NK was able to muster and successfully launch (BIG IF), I didn’t say it would be pretty but hardly a death blow to our entire nations infrastructure.... And the timeline to repair would be relatively short.....
Those large cities affected would have to be placed under martial law.
NK is not taking out the entire US with a single low yield nuke EMP pulse.
