“So what’s the difference between this Israeli threat and the USA tests?”

None. Every “survivalist” type thinks they have become a nuclear expert since they learned what EMP stands for.

“In contrast, solid-state devices will fail permanently if the voltage limits (typically less than 1 volts) are exceeded. EMP is science, not politics, yet every time the topic comes up on FR, it becomes an opportunity for some to demonstrate their ignorance.”

Really, a single “volts” kills electronics?

“companies that want “emp-proof” rooms for their data centers. “

Where are they going to get the power once their gennies run out of gas if EMP simply kills everything and we’re all going to die?

“Millions would die in Tehran alone and Israel would be an international pariah.”

Finally the right answer. Israel might, and I expect, use conventional weapons all day long but no nukes. They wouldn’t survive alone in the world if they did that.

Yes, Iran has impressive national resources, no doubt, but too bad its run by Islamic nutcases that keep the rest of us from ever wanting to go there and enjoy their nation or even do business with them. It is such a sad waste of a great part of the world.

I’ll give three guesses as to who the world would expect to provide relief/rebuiding money.

Ha! Ha! Yes, it would be the USA. Time for Uncle Sugar to step up and pay.

“For men only.”

No. Women can ski & snowboard as long as they are accompanied by a man. That requirement was imposed last year. Once you’re on the slope though, you’re on your own, so it’s pretty silly.

“Women can ski & snowboard as long as they are accompanied by a man.”

Yeah, they must look lovely in their snowburkas, skiburkas, & apres-burkas.

Lots & lots of non-Islamic places to ski in this world.

Aside from Iranian women not wearing burqas, on the ski slopes, most wear ski jackets, pants & hats. Check the link in #91 for some photos

Nothing to be sorry about. There can’t be sides without a middle. Could also be ‘so middle of the road, he could see both sides equally’

Of course, anyone that is the recipient of a successful first nuclear shot, would be devastated.

Collateral damage to women and children of any country, is most important to me.

God have mercy. Forbid this for America and Israel.

When did they leave the stone age?

Since they have been launching satellites.
