Fear mongering is all the source is doing.

It might be allowed to happen, but they know about the Tesla Dome or Tesla Shield.

The concept of EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) weapons has always intrigued me. It certainly is a way to cause the collapse of a modern country / society.

I have read several fictional accounts of such a thing (one is "One Second After")and have become a mild prepper at the beginning of a long process to try and be ready for any of the things that only a few years ago seemed unthinkable.

Several years ago when pagers were common, a solar flare took out the main relay satellite for my region, wrecking havoc for quite a while. I could only imagine what chaos and devastation a well place EMP strike would cause. We rely heavily on technology and communications.

Most people rely so heavily on technology that they cannot go back to the basics of life.

When my son was in high school, he came home laughing because a girl in his class did not even know that the egg comes from a chicken. :rolleyes2

I was working in the hospital back when that happened. It surely was chaotic. Nobody ever thought of the possibility of non working communications. We had to come up with an alternative plan really quick to get to the stat orders as quickly as possible.

EMPs are possible but it's not been used before as far as I know but....Aquila did you read that piece?

Whoever wrote it never cites expert opinions. This has the making of an opinion piece.

Also did you know it's owned and operated by the Unification Church of the Rev Sun Young Moon?

Lastly, any ICBM launched from North Korea and heading towards the US will be blown out of the sky before it reaches it's apex by our Aegis Missile Defense

Did it destroy the pagers or just temporarily knock them out?
