An EMP device(s) launched by either Russia or Iran (or a timed launch by both nations), would bring about the scenario you have described. I have no doubt that either of these nations are pursuing such a weapon. In the meantime, we will have a president who wants to gut our military.
You are possibly right about Russia pursuing an EMP device. I believe Stratfor may have discussed this.
Incidently, your discussion of Islam on your profile page was very informative. I can’t tell you how much I have learned from reading Freeper profile pages. It is one of the true golden resources of Free Republic. And one unselfishly provided to all of us by people like you. Thank you.
