indicate that a catastrophic EMP event could cripple the U.S. economy and its military.
EMPs are pulses of energy that can be emitted from the blast of a nuclear weapon, portable devices like high power microwave weapons , or even certain natural phenomenon. These powerful pulses – when interacting with the Earth’s magnetic field – have the ability to damage electronic and electrical equipment such as computers, cell phones, transformers and transmission lines, as well as critical communications infrastructure.
While the U.S. reaped its post-Cold War “peace dividend,” little has been done to address the EMP menace. The unipolar American moment is over, and the windows of vulnerability are again ajar.The U.S. could be the target of an electromagnetic event by an adversary with nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities. Prominent nation-state actors that have the means to target America’s electronic infrastructure with an HEMP are Russia, China, and North Korea, and eventually Pakistan and Iran.
Current efforts to protect the electric grid from an EMP event have ranged from hardening of infrastructure to updating technology and operational procedures. Duke Energy (
But then how would the media brainwash everyone?

Very scary to think about how all this would effect the entire nation JMUMKTG410
zhorro4 En Venezuela esto fue tomado poco antes del ataque c ondas electromagnéticas o EMP por sus siglas en inglés...
😒
Me gustaria que hicieran un EMP a EEUU para callar a los animales de la oposición venezolana repiten como loros todo lo que dicen los frustrados de sus lideres
A los gringos no les importa los atentados que ordenaron en contra de la infraestructura al sistema eléctrico en Venezuela, dejando a los ciudadanos vulnerables ya que muchos servicios no funcionaron. Si esto sucedería en gringolandia no lloraría por ello. Se lo merecen!
Bump, bump, bump!!!
Curious... Venezuela suffered an EMP attack on its electric infrastructure, causing a blackout on March. Some people laughed at the authorities and now Trump signed a Decree on Resilience against EMPs. Who’s telling the truth? N3306abr19
Lo que ninguna chabestia le dice a los venezolanos ' An EMP pulse attack would likely be conducted via a high-altitude atomic device.'. Si hubieran atacado a Venezuela con un EMP, los Chinos y los Rusos estarían el alerta máxima.
Sí bombardean a Venezuela, (viendo la imagen de Forbes) cómo hacen para llevarse petróleo? No pueden bombardear? Ataques selectivos sin tocar áreas petroleras?
It's a good idea...
Shit, if we ever got EMP’d the masses wouldn’t know how to survive without their personal electronics
All of our important military infrastructure and retaliatory strike mechanisms are shielded from EMP bursts. Whoever did this to us would quickly turn into piles of radioactive ash! Perhaps a natural EMP like a solar flare, but this is just fear mongering.
Hey forbes I want to read your articles but I’m afraid to do so because they might go disappearing again like that Markle article did last week about how much she’s costing Britain
Wonderful technology
Think again longshanks!
Shouldn't we be more worried about the nuke that causes the EMP? Cause EMP weapons aren't really a thing.
How much does it cost you to come out openly and aggressively fight against CHILD PORNOGRAPHY on Our World Wide Web?
Maine is just chillin
You had Dinner? Thx For topic about belarus at Your Web site
The nuclear attack would be pretty concerning too.
Well, then we'll just have to create another infrastructure package I guess.
