    This seems somewhat reckless during a time where Wuhan flu is spreading and China's economy is taking a hit.

    An EMP attack would be an act of nuclear war.

    China may need to be confronted over the spratleys.

    This was some panel theorizing about possibilities - What it wasn't was China directly threatening a EMP attack.

    We run war games all the time looking at scenario's involving nuclear options. This is no different.

    I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    Certainly nothing to lose sleep over.

    This Whole "EMP Threat" has (apparently) been a pet project of the "Chicken Little" Crowd (for almost a decade).

    Here is an article "Raising the Alarm" from 2011:

    https://www.commentarymagazine.com/seth-mandel/report-china-was-testing-for-emp-attack-on-taiwan/

    Nothing to worry about, Nothing to lose sleep over, Etc.:flagus:

    Typical of the left to brush this off, they never had the strength to deal with China. China stomped all over the Obama admin and here they are still blindly sleepwalking along..

    Send three ballistic nuclear subs to the Pacific and if China does anything nuke all of their population centers.

    Yeah.. GWB had a whole different approach, sure.
    Typical right to keep blaming Obama for the failures of Trump.

    War planning is done all the time, with created scenarios too, as well as current events.

    They're not thinking that far ahead, the Kung Flu was supposed to take us all out.

    Nuke their power grid and they're finished.

    I find it far more likely that the Chinese politicos would EMP their own homeland first.

    LMAO, so how's Trump doing with North Korea, Iran, Iraq, et al. He is moving troops out even though they are under attack constantly. The Taliban has already called it a victory now that USA troops are leaving.

    "Don't lose sleep over an EMP threat" says the guy who still loses sleep over his man, Hillary, losing the election 4 years ago.

    I'm fairly sure most key components on our destroyers and aircraft carriers are hiding safely behind Faraday cages. Even aircraft in the hull I'm fairly sure are protected from EMP attack.

    But, merely speculating... :alcoholic:

    not one failure by trump...

    there are issues that were blockaded by the deranged dnc, but those can't be considered failures on trump's part...

    the left has been screaming at the sky to bring troops home...

    trump does...

    and those same lefties scream at the sky that trump left those nations undefended...

    can't the left make up it's collective mind?

    Liberal policy = Everything Trump wants, we want exactly opposite.

    Trump should become pro-choice. Just imagine their heads exploding on that dichotomy!

    Your political junk aside, we are not gaining anything be leaving, and you clearly forgot about our mission, to defeat Al Qaeda and ISIS.

    Seems Trump supporters prefer defeat.

    you're clearly omitting the fact that for many decades the left/liberals/moderates/progressives have been screaming for us to vacate the middle east, now it actually happens and they go all ballistic that orange man screwed up...

    Save that EMP idea for AFTER the ww3 and the remaining humans are in a matrix created by the quantum computer AI that Google/Facebook/Apple techs created

    Trump having a hunch it wouldn't be so bad, to make the flip flop of the century within a week by declares a state of national emergency. That's a massive failure. Unpresidented.
