China is really rattling the sabres with its attack dog (the one it is providing all these warheads and missiles).

They aren’t fooling anyone. “Plausible deniability” may get you over in diplomatic cocktail parties, but not when bodies are getting stacked. Remember how attitudes changed after 9-11? That would be nothing.

What is good for the goose, is good for the gander - many more would die from a similar EMP over the Chinese industrial heartland. Rural villagers would have a higher survival rate, but fewer technical skills for the long term aftermath.

Nuclear genie is out of bottle. It may be better that more genies are on our side than theirs. NPT is no longer operable. To think otherwise is a delusion. They should prepare to unshackle E. Asian allies from NPT straight jacket. The mere threat of it might move China's mind. If not, proceed anyway. The threat value is diminished if the other side knows that you are not serious.

Time to play a real madman.

We may not get any result unless we can truly scare N. Korea and China. If others(EU or financial markets) are scared as well, I would say, "Too bad!"

Nah. If the Norks launch EMP, kill every last North Korean and Chinese. Let it be a lesson.

We’ll all die over here, no use any of them getting away with success.

Unleash the boomers.

I'd like to shove it up their Manchuria via NK.
