What's this?

You seriously thought that was worthy of posting? Oh that's right, once

again you didn't actually state any position so you can just claim you didn't say any such thing.

So what exactly was your point in posting this? Do you think this is a serious credible threat? Do you think it would really lead to the deaths of 90% of the population? Do you think power cos. are ignoring this viable threat? Do you think we should take proactive measures against such a serious threat and destroy NK's ability to carry this out?

Just exactly what was the point you were trying to make here Waxie?

Whatever action might be taken v EMP should be defensive; e.g., hardening -- WaxHoo 10/17/2017 11:44AM

Infrastructure. Hermmm.... seems like an important thing we've slipped -- hoodeyo 10/17/2017 1:05PM
