With the stupid squibs the norks have managed to date, it would be an Insignificant Magnetic Pulse, creating an IMP effect.
That’s irritating.
Later bump
I heard it’s supposed to happen right after Iran suffers a major nuclear accident in their underground enrichment facilities.
Is this for real? I thought the space launch was a failure.
Back in the good old days, an EMP attack on the US would be suicidal for the country doing it, and even pissant countries like NK would never dare to do so.
Now, with the current regime, I have my doubts.
If the NorKs assemble another three stage missile at that launch site take it out.
Let them cry, whine and stamp their feet.
If they go nuts and swarm the border, then so be it, but we can’t take the risk of an EMP.
Let them know now, so there’s no uncertaincy. In fact, maybe it’s also time to light up their nuclear test site.
If they can sink a South Korean warship and get away with it, maybe the world will finally understand that doing NOTHING has a price.
I seem to remember films in school telling me to “duck and cover” when the big one hit. Seeing as that has been going on for about sixty years I don’t think this is breaking news or even front page news. The Russians were far more rational than the Norks, and far more likely to make a working bomb and hit something with it.
Come now North korea capable of such a diabolical ability to have a nuclear bomb exploded high above the USA in a spaceship. North korea with a successful spaceship launched by a rocket, what a joke. Notice the Chinese massing just Northeast of North Korea. What does that tell you.
A. China has become tired of North Korea and will end the fiasco.
B. China will come to the aid of North Korea and advance on the USA with its fleet of aircraft carriers.
We all get a chuckle out of the fat kid in the PRNK.
But they are so inept they have nukes, rockets, and could threaten us in this way.
Seems like something we might want to “consider” getting ready for.
Have no fear! Obama will steadfastly move to reduce our nuclear arsenal.
Thanks for this thread. Much appreciation. Not one to say too much after reading a thread of this type. Although the thought regarding the shuttle program is documented am a bit disturbed with myself for posting that information. A thread such as the one posted by yourself and the posts entered by each participating gives pause to mind and spirit, and having a pause to mind and spirit is what makes this forum unique. Once more ... Thanks for this thread.

They all hated it when the Bush administration tagged NK as part of the AXIS OF EVIL. Guess Bush was right.

Good book. David and a couple other folks are currently trying to get it made into a major motion picture. Official trailer should be out soon.
More than half the photos posted on this thread fit this bill.
I can't believe we have so many stupid people on FR who are underestimating N. Korea.
Time for the ultimate solution:
Nuke Washington D.C.
I wonder why our usually informative administration doesn’t schedule a news cast and tell the America people about this?
This completely gaga gaggle of progressive goofs don’t want to scare anyone. They would rather wage wars of liberation that in the end further enslave America.
The phony president could address the nation in his short choppy sentences, but in the end we would have forgotten what it was he was talking about. You have to wade through the ers, uhs and ‘bunches’ to miraculously arrive at what it is the Halfrican is saying.
He, and his entourage, are the most danger to American lives as are the terrorists.
If the Congress, knowingly and unwittingly part of this treachery of obfuscation, would only act to impeach his ass and get him the hell out of the White Hut we might have a chance.
