Yeah I agree. That is also kinda my only issue with the whole “doomsday day prepping for an emp attack” thing: they say if done correctly it could take out all electronics in the north American hemisphere… breeeezing over the fact we’d still have electricity the whole time it is launched to shoot the fuckin thing(s) out of the air lol.

The west also has a secure second strike capability in the form of atomar subs.

Like they fire first we shoot it out of the air second strike? Or they strike and wipe out all electronics in America and we send carrier pigeons strapped with nukes as our second strike? Lol obviously kidding with those questions but really, are you talking about defensive strike to prevent domestic damages or are you saying second strike like they launch we launch? Cuz only one of those scenarios should work.

Second strike refers to being able to still destroy your attacker after your land has been destroyed. It’s basically what keeps balance. It doesn’t matter that much how many nukes you hav, but whether you’ll be able to deploy them regardless of what your enemy did first.
