#1 recent evidence that Russia and China are each rapidly maturing advanced hypersonic missile capabilities has badly shaken key Defense Department leaders. While they were busy adjusting troop physical fitness tests for gender equity, our rivals have been focusing their attention on key attack capabilities that have the potential for asymmetric devastation of our country

Is this not treason? Dereliction of duty, at a minimum

#2 the potential for combined cyber, EMP, and direct attacks on the U.S. power grid.

Putin 'will hit US and European BANKS with cyber attacks to inflict economic chaos' if Russia invades Ukraine, financial regulators fear

#3 .....or the Klingons will do it, and blame the Russians.

#4 How bad would such an attack be? The report estimates that 90 percent of the population would die from starvation, disease, and societal collapse.

Another bingo box for what hysteria the Left will generate for $$$$.

It's unimaginable that people survived less than a 100 years ago isn't it. No major electrical nets, no major roads. How did the trains move? It's all a mystery.

#5 Procopius2k, this was not written by someone on the left.

And for the most part modern Americans don't farm their own food, use an outhouse, or travel by horse and buggy.

#6 Most of the geographical world still has a foot in the 'old ways'. What will happen is that everything becomes local. Those local places that have the resources will eventually recover and faster than those places that became NIMBY oasis. Just don't find yourself stuck in a major urban center.

#7 don't find yourself stuck in a major urban center thats the key, even suburban places will be bad.

#10 The Trigger Effect is an absolute classic which everyone should watch. Like, grab the kiddos and some popcorn and make a show of it mandatory.

Thank you P2K.

#12 Non nuclear flux compress generators currently have an EMP effect in a 1 klick radius. Deliverable by missile or truck. Nice for precision takedowns
