im opening a new thread (I hope) about the use of emp (electro-magnetic pulse) warfare against n. korea.. I hope to keep the discussion simple, as I know only the essentials about the weapon and what it can do.. im not suggesting action on an immediate level; I just want to say I believe this can be a formidable weapon against a formidable enemy.. it can bring immediate and total dissolution of n. korea's weaponry, communications, and societal functions.. the physical damage, other than nullification of all electrical components, should be minimal.. I have not seen a detonation of an emp, nor the aftereffects.. I would want to hear members' descriptions of emp activity: the pros and the cons.. if there are photos, I would hope to see them posted here.. I believe the global impact of an emp explosion would not only bring n. korea to its knees, but would demonstrate to the world that, while the u.s. is serious about dealing with viable threats against us and our allies, the measures taken need not necessarily include death on conventional or nuclear scales.. we don't want to annihilate anyone or destroy their culture, society, people or the ability to engage in peaceful world relations and trade.. we just want to knock off the threats, mass murder torture, starvation, political incarceration and gratuitous shows of force.. I believe that, long-term, demonstrations of emp devices and distribution of videos of such demonstrations world-wide would drastically reduce the violence we have come to expect from our "garden-variety" terrorists and dictators.. even better, emp devices that would impact a small area for "localized" targeting should be very impressive, as good as the "surgical strike" bombs used against Iraq in the 90s.. I believe that, long-term, emp devices would be effective against small areas of terroristic and dictatorial govts. by targeting only their command and control headquarters.. against n. korea, emp devices would target the premier's palace, his military hq, his missile launchers and manned forces of infantry and armored units.. seagoing warships would be targeted, nullifying any threats from the sea..
advance notice of impending emp action against n. korea would offered to s. korea's president and chief military leader.. they would have a few days' notice and be told not to reveal anything to anyone else, or the plan would inevitably fail.. there is a possibility that the aftereffects of an emp detonation might "bleed over" the border and impact areas of s. korea's infrastructure.. the u.s. would immediately repair and replace any affected components, free-of-charge.. as for n. korea, we, the u.s. and our allies would engage with their country in similar fashion: repair and make the country better than it was.. what I would hope is that, kim jong un would be so struck by the impact of an emp detonation that he would quietly walk to his bathroom and slit his throat.. to attempt to communicate with his military and seeing his country totally flattened, as far as electrical usage is concerned, would be a total wash-out; nothing working, total darkness, everything nullified.. he couldn't phone anyone, give orders by radio or even use morse code, if his people understood morse code.. faced with total isolation militarily and even with his immediate staff, he would have to know he was completely without a military force to fight with, or any means to give orders to attack.. I would want to hear views of those who agree and disagree.. if an emp detonation might be a good idea, when would be a good time to schedule it? how could we prepare ourselves and our friends to expect it?
