Finally some national coverage on this possible threat...

It's not other countries you should fear, but your own good ol USA. They van and will blame someone else of course. Follow the $$$

So are you completely sure that China, Russia, or NORTH KOREA would not 'aid' a foe (Iran or terrorists) that does not YET have the technology so that foe may pull something like this off...

An EMP at the given altitude would be the MOST effective...but one that was 'off' by a few thousand feet would still put much of this country into the dark ages. One at half their stated altitude would still put about 30% of the country into the dark ages...we DO NOT have the emergency response capability to sustain even an event of that magnitude.

Getting a single NUKE would be the difficult part, the rest of the technology exists among enough people that HATE us to make it possible to pull off. They could launch high enough well off shore, away from defenses, of any coasts and still black out considerable lengths of our highly populated coasts...Atlantic, Pacific, or Gulf.

I have read the EMP Commissions report. It is sobering.

This scenario IS NOT far fetched once the enemy possesses a single NUKE. Now, ask yourself, is their a nation or several nations, that would love to see a 'third party' strike on the U.S. with no direct ties back to their leadership, a crime with no 'smoking gun'? A single EMP at high altitude would EVENTUALLY kill many more people and weaken the U.S. more severely and long term than a single nuclear detonation on a particular city.

Next to an economic collapse due to increasing and unsustainable debt, this is the most likely source of MASS chaos within the U.S.
