I agree that hardening infrastructure against attacks (not just EMPs) is important. But that is only one of two requests made in the article. The other one is about shooting down a satellite owned & operated by another nation, an unprecedented request that - if executed - could be seen as an act of war. (Imagine if NK destroys a US satellite...)

  Yes, I can see that happening. But the article does not state the precondition of war to shoot down the satellite - it asks to do it now, possibly starting the war.
