Should We Hit North Korea With An EMP?

[saintmichaeldefendthem]

I don't hear a lot of people discussing this as a plausible way to strike back at the Norks. What other alternatives do we have....to put them back on the terrorist watch list? I'm sure they're quaking in their commie boots!

And I really don't like the idea of conventional attacks. What are we going to shed blood because of an internet hack? Doesn't seem right.

I just think that if North Korea wants to engage in electronic international warfare, we should give them a taste of what we can do. You say North Korea doesn't have a lot of electronics? They had enough to bring a multi billion dollar company to it's knees inside the United States. And because it's estimated that the amount of information they stole might take up their entire storage infrastructure, an EMP blast might just cause them to lose much or all of the information they're extorting Sony with.

Just and idea. I'm no expert on these things, but would like to know what others think.

Whose cockamamie hairbrained idea is this?

How about we just take out their power grid? Half dozen Cruise missiles and N Korea would be dark for a year.

The North Korean people are suffering enough, I think.

[Ernie S.]

Make them suffer a bit more and they will overthrow the little asshole.

 

[Rozman]

Obama will probably offer to establish diplomatic relations with them in order to make nice.
Send them like $500 billion and apologize for upsetting them.

Because that's worked so well for the past 50 years?

 

[Ernie S.]

If we'd finished the job 60 years ago, we wouldn't be having this problem.

Nothing of real substance regarding NK is going to happen without China's participation.

Not holding my breath on that one.

What we should do is... Get our best hackers, hack their systems, and broadcast The Interview in to North Korea for 72 hours straight...

We could take his daddys elvis and cognac collection.

An EMP blast would fry their electronics and cripple their ability to launch another cyber attack, but I don't think North Koreans are too dependent on electricity.

And make Sony the scapegoat. Oh wait, he's already done that.

We should reward them for attacking us? is that your great plan?

 

[RetiredGySgt]

As for an EMP it would hit South Korea as well not a very good idea.
