I spoke just yesterday to the author, Bill Forstchen, a friend for many years, and he mentioned EMP by the NORKs. Said it would mostly affect WA, OR, and CA.

Not sure if that’s bad news or good news. I’m in AZ, and you can be prices for food, water, and ammo would go up in a hurry!

Why don’t we use a Stuxnet computer virus that was used to attack Iran’s nuclear program?

My personal thought on that is, N. Korea doesn't have a computer system advanced enough to be affected by such a virus.........LOL!

As a side note, google N. Korea's air force. The majority of their air force are poorly maintained planes from the 1950's and 60's with only a handful of jets made in the 1970's.......

Central American countries such as Honduras have more modern jets than N. Korea........

The only reason that S. Korea has put up with NK's constant sabre rattling rather than confront them with war is that once SK kicks NK's ass, they will then be responsible for feeding and caring for all the NK citizens...............

Kim is angling for some kind of communist martyrdom... A small version of Stalin crying because of German invasion... But this time by an America in a civil strife hardening on its populace...

This is the political plan.

Turn the military of South Korea loose and let them lead in the battle to wipe out the North Koreans.
Back them up with all the tactical nukes and the F-16 that are in the arsenal.
We've been practicing that battle since the mid 90s.

We must preempt this overt and verbal threat against our people and country

I totally agree. Let's not forget Iran is just as much of a threat. One day one of these maniacs will go ahead and set in motion a terror attack that dwarfs 9/11 a thousand times over.

There is no compelling reason for Kim to drop an H bomb on us. That would guarantee his almost immediate incineration from both us and China.

He is crazy but not suicidal.

Why is everyone in DC hell bent on us starting a war. They really need to stop.

“”Didn’t you hear...Little Kim went to the Sun and back in one day!””

No, silly! That’s not true. He SENT a man to the sun. This super hero doesn’t have time for such trivial things.

My fear is that some left leaning intelligence stooge could be convinced that by facilitating an attack on America in a devistating way the people would turn against Trump and look to the Democrats for leadership.

High altitude EMP attack at 2 or 3 locations across the U.S. credible analyses predict up to 90% deaths in a year or two. You are blasted back to the 1700s in an instant. No power, no water, no sewage, no fuel, no heating, no cooling, no pharmaceuticals, no transportation, no machines to farm land, no trucks,or rail to deliver food. No control systems in factories, refineries, transportation systems. No hope of rebuilding electrical transformers for a few years.

Read “One Second After” and “One Year After” for a glimpse.

There is no need to think about hundreds of nukes delivered to cities.

It is worth understanding the actual science involved, which provides a basis for understanding the risk factors. You may want to review one of the more detailed publications on this topic: The Early-Time (E1) High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) and Its Impact on the U.S. Power Grid

“Korea is likely still using 1980’s CRT’s for its computer monitors...........
They’re so far behind the technological curve that any threat they may make needs to be mocked..............”

We managed to make multi-megaton bombs with computers less capable than the one that runs your microwave oven, and long before it was possible to display a single character on a raster scan CRT.

Interesting / thanks for the link.
Here’s another one, on non-nuclear EMP-bombs, you might find interesting: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/report/1996/apjemp.htm
