Today our media is abuzz with so many stories and articles attempting to make President Trump appear illegitimate and completely ignorant on how to deal with the politics of a federal government bureaucracy. Yet, very little, if any, is said in the mainstream press about a very real and potentially devastating blow which an enemy of the U.S. could possibly carry out that would change everything in the blink of an eye.
I'll admit I am not "up to speed" on just what our own military has done, if anything during the last administration to prepare for such a possible event, but as we watch Iran and North Korea continue to gear up with more frequent missile launches, the potential for an Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) is rapidly becoming more possible with every passing day. I pray that, if Pres. Trump is doing anything to strengthen our military and national defenses, it is hardening our defenses against such a possibility.
As this article points out, currently our missile defense system doesn't look to the south for an approaching missile; only north to the Arctic pole because of our cold war fears of the '50s. So, it would seem logical that a newer south looking missile defense system would be in short order here.
Just what would an EMP hit over the North American continent do to us? Well, a lot more than you think. Check here, and here, for some starters on what we're dealing with; it's not pretty!
