But the former is immaterial, and the later is still not as big a threat as the paranoids want it to be. If one high altitude burst was really that big a threat it would have become the primary nuclear strategy of both us and the USSR. It didn’t, that proves the point.
The US and Soviet leaderships were composed of sane men. That is not the case in Iran.

I stand corrected. There actually is some common sense on these EMP threads. You are dead right. If EMP was that big a killer we and the Soviet Union would have made it our central plan. We didn’t. They didn’t.
