President Trump became the first national leader to call for protecting the U.S electric and communications grid against an electromagnetic attack like one practiced in North Korea.

Deep in his new national security strategy released this week, he made good on a campaign promise to move quickly to make the fixes that proponents have long called for.

Two of the chief advocates, William R. Graham and Peter Vincent Pry, executives of the nation’s first Congressional EMP Commission, said in a statement, “President Trump understands, even if everyone in his administration does not, that ‘strategic stability’ and ‘longstanding strategic relationships with Russia or China’ are best maintained — not by a policy of mutual vulnerability — but by a policy of ‘Peace Through Strength.’ Protecting the nation from all missile threats and EMP should be the cornerstone of a ‘Peace Through Strength’ policy.”

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again... Thank God Trump is the president, and not Hillary Clinton.

Amen

So, all you need is all these giant grounding wires dangling down from the 100kV electrical line pylons, eh?

LOL

South Korea will love all the orders for those big distribution transformers. Talk about win win.

I hadn’t noticed, but now that you mention it, I think that is logical.

He has come in and laid the foundation for his plans. Now he’s building from there.

Stand back Lefties. This is about to get interesting.
