North Korea can now reach New York and Washington DC
HOW A NORTH KOREAN ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE ATTACK COULD KILL MILLIONS AND TURN AMERICA INTO A POST-APOCALYPTIC WASTELAND
This is why North Korea’s test of an intercontinental ballistic missile is so important.
North Korea had test fired a total of 22 missiles so far this year, but this latest one showed that nobody on the globe is out of their reach. In fact, General Mattis is now admitting that “North Korea can basically threaten everywhere in the world”, and that includes the entire continental United States. In addition to hitting individual cities with nukes, there is also the possibility that someday North Korea could try to take down the entire country with an EMP attack. If the North Koreans detonated a single nuclear warhead several hundred miles above the center of the country, it would destroy the power grid and fry electronics from coast to coast.

EMP is probably a bit (but not totally) overrated. Seems there are a lot of competing theories on how effective it can be delivered.
Remember friends, bullets and seeds, seeds and bullets. Not gold.

Hard to argue the threat is real. The President said we would take care of it, so hopefully whatever is proposed will have bilateral support.

yup.....the board's discussed this in the past....
if that tech was proven to devastate a large geo region and available for purchase??????it would've been unleashed by any rogue regime by now (on the US)

His solution would be to impeach Trump.

RE: North Korea can now reach New York and Washington DC
Once again, Clinton, Bush and Obama let this problem happen. Now Trump will deal with it. Love how libs just think this NK situation with their nukes all happened since Trump took office. If Obama hadn't been so busy apologizing for America, maybe he could have grown a set and dealt with this issue.

The USA and the rest of the world are not going to use military force on North Korea until the missile has a warhead. Then and only then will we use military force.
If you really want to see the sparks fly wait until the Olympics in Seoul next year.

RE: North Korea can now reach New York and Washington DC
The solution to NK was to not elect Clinton, Bush, and Oblunder to the whitehouse. Since America went uber stupid, the new solution is to allow Trump to deal with it.
I'm sure Fitbud will try to defend president mom-jeans and his pallets of cash as being part of the solution.

I'm not convinced that this particular weapon is an actual problem to the United States.
I think Little Kim is simply lobbyiing for aid. Ransom if you want to call it that.
He will continue until Trump pays the ransom or he drops a nuke on the United States.
It's a game of chicken.

A game of chicken is exactly what this is. NK is not smart to play chicken with the most powerful nation in history.

You don't play chicken with a freight train when you are driving a geo metro.
If NK is stupid enough to actually put a warhead on a missile and nuke the US, it's their own death warrant they are signing. Not only theirs, but I can pretty much guarantee the the US wipes every last communist/socialist leader in the western hemisphere off the map. Iran would probably be next, knowing they worked with NK and would do the exact same thing if they got the chance.

To some extent yes. But Little Kim and Donald Trump aren't sophisticated strategists. They are likely two of the stupidest people on the planet.
During the Cold War, Russia and the U.S. both knew dropping a nuke was game over for everyone.
These two **** heads might actually be stupid enough to drop one.

I hav no doubt about that. We would win any war against any country that dares to attack us.

So all Trump has to do is not blink. That pretty much guarantees this as a big win for Trump. He won't "payoff" NK to keep them in line and eventually they will step out of line.

RE: North Korea can now reach New York and Washington DC
NK isn't really the most important issue -- not really. not anymore. the most important issue is how impossibly difficult it is to deal with a madman once he gets a nuke.
we should be applying this critical lesson to the whackjobs that are in charge in iran.
