  Wadaya mean?! We’ve already done it by accident and it’s literally what happens when a Nuke is set off at lower altitudes than they did for Starfish Prime. lol.😂

    Read the last part of that guy’s sentence tho it’s specifically to take them OUT of the conflict. That would do the opposite

      I’m not a different guy, friend. I’m the same friend, guy. Cue the “IM NOT YOUR BUDDY, GUY!” “IM NOT YOUR GUY, FRIEND!”

      Lol but yeah I agree.

      The US military abroad wouldn’t stop till they razed Russia to the ground. I think in reality shit would obviously hit the fan. I shouldve added the context tho, that I’m assuming Putin hasn’t been in touch with reality in a ages.

      With that being said, the contiguous United States, Mexico and Canada would be entirely fucked to defend itself against a full scale Russian and Chinese invasion/attack that would follow a nuclear EMP attack.

      This is also assuming it works and we don’t shoot it down. (Which I think is the correct answer, Putin facing the consequences of a failed attack fear him not the consequences of a successful one.)

      We 100% have zero back up for any attack to the power grid. Doesn’t matter if it’s Nuclear, EMP or my uncle Dale with bolt cutters. Our power grid is like take a Xanax to stop the panic attack fragile. Whats honestly more terrifying than knowing how fragile it is, is knowing we also aren’t doing a single thing to fix it, fail safe it or have a back up plan. We’re just kinda all sitting around waiting for an inevitable mass power outage.

      It’s known that a nuclear device detonated, 250-300 miles above sea level for altitude and in the middle of the continent for longitude/latitude, would take out the entire power grid and most every unprotected electronic from Mexico to Canada. Coast to coast. I’m not wasting the time to provide sources because you just have to google declassified CISA amd DHS reports on domestic vulnerability to attacks using a mass EMP threat.

      The long short of it is, they estimate 90% of the population would die in (i think it said…) months from illness, starvation, environmental exposure and the internal conflicts that would come with all those aforementioned shit. They didn’t even try to predict what would happen if it was an actual organized military attack lol.

      I wish we had permanent living complexes on the moon or space stations that I could watch this happen and see how everything plays out.

      US vs the world in a current day all out war, would be a ridiculously close match.

      You take US, Mexico and Canada out of that world War and swap the sides so it’s Russia and China vs the world and I hate to say it but it’s prolly guna hand the participation trophies to only Russia and China cuz errybody else is dead.

      Full disclaimer, I am fully self aware that other than the shit about the nuclear EMP fallout I pulled from memory of reading the reports, everything else is all unfounded guessing and totally delusional. 🍻
