We are so unprepared it is unbelievable.......both hardening our infrastructure as well as our missile defense systems.......thanks a whole bunch Obastardo.....Agreed, a single EMP pulse in space, high over the continental US will destroy the infrastructure of the entire nation for months, maybe even a year, tens of millions of lives will be lost due to loss of infrastructure, setting us back decades, causing an economic disaster multiple time worse than the great depression.
Folks will starve, the crops will wither and die, the hospitals won't function, power will be lost, water won't run, airlines won't run, anything that runs on computers, power, cars. . . imagine us being sent back to civil war technology w/o the infrastructure of that era.
The missile defense system plans were laid back in 1985. It has nothing to do with Obama.
We have fallen behind the times because BO did nada....
"President Obama’s missile defense policy shifts cost the nation precious time and capabilities at a time when adversaries are succeeding in advancing their own ballistic missile programs. The next President must avoid such missile defense policy weaknesses, fund missile defense programs adequately, and deploy a comprehensive layered missile defense architecture, including interceptors in space."
President Obama’s Missile Defense Policy: A Misguided Legacy
This is a better more in-depth article that shows that Obama took a 2 prong approach to the missile defense.
