North Korea could do EMP attacks on US via satellites over the US

I just read many overlooked this.
They already have 2 satellites that go over the US and are at a perfect height to do an EMP attack that could knock out power up to a year killing 90% of Americans within 12 months according to our own studies if we lost power. We are not prepared for this attack.

Just in case you wanted something to distract you from regular news. Over 200 million dead would be bad. I'm afraid it would be everyone for themselves after people ran out of food and water and the shooting started.

Breitbart isn't news. Its just as ignorant as Huffpo.

I stopped reading Breitbart after Andrew died. The quality and content of the articles plummeted.

Precisely why I live in the country well away from any city of any size.
They say that there is not more than two days worth of food in any city on any give day.
In 1978 the mid-west had a major blizzard. People were house bound for 2 or 3 days and ran out of food. Keep in mind in those days more people ate at home than today.
Today you cannot check out at the grocery store without a computer. Transportation will stop even if the vehicles run. The electrical grid would be shut down because the vulnerable computers that control it would be fried. It would take weeks to get the power grid partially back up because there are few people left who know how to manage it manually. The same with the transportation system. It is only going to get worse. Driverless trucks and cars! There are many millennials that are to lazy to learn to drive because it requires them to take responsibility for themselves both physically, legally and financially.
Everything is computer run and many of those systems are older fragile systems.

Brietbart represents factual news to the same degree that Harlequin romance novels present realistic relationships.

Whoa Fat said today that he will not send missiles to Guam after all. He is backing down.
His strength in North Korea is based on his reputation as a tough guy. If he shows weakness by backing down, someone in his military will take him out. I'd put his life expectancy at 6 months. It will end like all the other tin pot dictators like Cecescu and Gadafi.

Well, if they do make an EMP attack, we know that sharkhunter will be standing out there with a 20ft high lightning rod to protect us.

I he is backing down it's because the one country enabling him, China, basically told him if you attach you are on your own. Likely shortly after they showed him their intelligence on what our weapons capability really are, and not the just non-classified information freely available.

EMP? Wasn't that a club band from the 90s?

We are running a full court press on him. We are using military, diplomatic, economic, and intelligence operations to put on pressure. His head must be spinning. He doesn't know how to react. There is no clear path for him.

He hasn't been seen in public recently. I'm guessing he is in a bunker stocked with his favorite booze, food, and whores.
