For the first time, N Korea openly threatens to use EMP, which changes the game
- jaequery 9y agoalso remember, the US can not shoot down ICBMs. what i fear most is that US initiates an attack on N korea and then when things look bleak, the north retaliates with an icbm as the last resort. i dont think we should corner them. the powers at play seem tremendously dangerous, theres china, russia, iran.
- pmiller2 9y agoValid points, assuming NK has ICBMs. Being able to theoretically hit Japan is one thing; being able to target SF, NYC, or DC is quite another.
- michaelmrose 9y agoArticle is nonsense a high altitude detonation would in no way prevent retaliation. After reading this i stopped wasting my time.
