With the return of Steve Bannon, Breitbart has once again become an essential blog for me to read on a regular basis. Adelle Nazarian has a story there today about Kim Jong Un threatening an EMP attack on America.
According to the Associated Press, shortly after North Korea launched its sixth nuclear test using an H-bomb, the “Hermit Kingdom’s” leader Kim Jong-un issued a statement through its state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) claiming the weapon “is a multi-functional thermonuclear nuke with great destructive power which can be detonated even at high altitudes for super-powerful EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack according to strategic goals.”
Canadian Anthony Furey has written a book entitled Pulse Attack: The Real Story Behind the Secret Weapon That Can Destroy North America.
Furey noted how “particularly over the last six months, analysts have underestimated North Korea’s abilities. And right now, the main underestimation is that, sure, they have some degree of ICBMs, sure they have some degree of nukes and some degree of miniaturized nukes. They just don’t have the guidance systems and the precision to do it. The problem with an EMP attack – or, from the perspective of someone using it, the benefit of an EMP attack – is you don’t need as much precision. You’re just detonating it above a general area. Whereas, if you want to strike a target, you have to get within a few kilometers of it. That is not the case with EMP.”Read more here.
