My real question is why President Trump is not focusing on EMP defense.

What, a Giant Economy Size Faraday cage?

Actually hardening our national electronic infrastructure, never mind all the business and personal electronics, would take decades, and completely change how we communicate. And power transmission. And transportation. And....

But yeah, somebody has to get the process underway.

Luckily the military has been doing this for decades already.

The Republican Congress can't even pass a budget.

How far down the list is retrofitting everything for EMP? Do we mandate gallium arsenide chips for everything?

And you know he isn’t focused on this how? Because he hasn’t Tweeted about it?

Thanks to the Zero, the US interceptor program was largely de-funded, and there are only 20 anti-ICBM missiles in the battery in AK. To be sure of a hit, 3 or 4 missiles would be launched at each target ... how’s your 100’ deep underground bunker - well stocked with several years supplies of food and water, generator and fuel?
