North Korea now has two satellites orbiting over the United States capable of performing a surprise electromagnetic pulse attack at an altitude and trajectory that evade U.S. National Missile Defenses, a national security expert warned in an interview with Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.
Peter Vincent Pry told G2 Bulletin that the satellites can be commanded either to deorbit and hit a target on the ground or explode at a high altitude to create an EMP effect that would knock out the unprotected U.S. national electrical grid system and all life-sustaining critical infrastructures that depend on it.
“The threat,” Pry said, “continues to race, hare-like, at an alarming rate, compared to the tortoise pace of our preparations.”

My concern is I don't trust our politicians to want to stop such a thing.
ReplyDeleteImagine the power they could wield during such crisis. We'd have el presidente, absolute dictator.
I still like Trump, btw. I just view his Middle East foreign policy as seriously flawed. And I have other concerns. But he's the first president I like.
He has made some good moves and the SC is the most important I hope he gets to pick some more.
DeleteWhile the Norks appear to have two satellites orbiting the earth we have no way of knowing for certain what it in the satellite. And even if they managed to orbit a device with a warhead getting it to detonate at the chosen time and place is a high grade challenge once the satellite is in orbit. It's also probable that said satellites will or have been zapped by a US laser and rendered dead. So while the threat of an EMP from the Norks is not zero the odds of the US allowing a satellite to float around up there as a risk UNTOUCHED for any length of time is minimal.

DeleteHadn't thought of that.
