#1 Kinda makes me wonder if the 0bean administration is starting to realize the error of its ways.

#2 The Bammer has seemingly been refraining from making statements on this, + the escalating SCS dispute wid China.

#3 The EMP threat has been out there for some time.

To the degree our military command and performance assets have been hardened against them, we are safe.

#5 North Korea's KSM-3 and KSM-4 satellites orbit over the United States at the optimum trajectory and altitude to evade U.S. early warning radars and national missile defenses and make a surprise electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack on the contiguous 48 United States.

There is some speculation that the initial 'tumbling' of KSM-4 was actually a staged kinetic dispersal action for a plume of EMP microsats (HPM pills). An interesting addition to this 'obviously paranoid rant' is the suggestion that the EMP has been team designed to target specific Made-in-China communication components.

#6 EMP again? Look, an EMP attacked is stupid tactics, it is localized (there's math involved), but still a strategic attack inviting a strategic response which likely would old fashioned thermo nuclear warheads targeted against silos and cities. We got no cell phones or radio, but you got no country and 1200 people in a mineshaft.

Counterforce is an opponents better choice, except for the Ohio factor of course.

#7 Oh, I think the batteries in 'the football' have probably expired, Ship. The world realizes MAD is dead because we are doing it to ourselves.

#8 I wouldn't expect even a second of reality in this administration, gorb.
