Why Isn\u2019t the US Preparing for EMP War Like the Rest of the World?<\/a><\/h3>\n

You\u2019re likely already familiar with the\u00a02009 EMP Commission Report<\/a>. It was this report that raised the issue of EMP-preparedness for the American public. It\u2019s\u00a0notorious stating that just one year after an EMP attack, 90% of the American population would be dead<\/a>, caused alarm throughout multiple sectors of society.<\/span><\/p>\n

Books began to be written on the subject. Sales of Tedd Koppel\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Lights Out<\/span><\/em><\/a>, Forstchen\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>One Second After<\/span><\/em><\/a>, and Crawford\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Lights Out<\/span><\/em><\/a>\u00a0quickly reached blockbuster levels.\u00a0<\/span>And while I believe that these books (and that report) brought the issue of an electromagnetic pulse to light for Americans, I don\u2019t believe it showed Americans just how\u00a0<\/span>real<\/span><\/em>\u00a0of a threat it is.<\/span><\/p>\n

To\u00a0<\/span>truly<\/span><\/em>\u00a0understand just how very real of a risk this is, I believe all we have to do is look at the battle plans of some of the nations that hate America most.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with Russia<\/strong><\/p>\n

**Non-Contact Warfare<\/span><\/em>\u00a0was the name of Russian General Vladimir Slipchenko\u2019s military textbook. Within this text, he explains how EMPs are the greatest revolution in military affairs in history. According to Slipchenko, the possession of an EMP renders an enemy\u2019s armies, navies, and air forces completely obsolete, and it\u2019s hard to argue with him there.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t get your missile defense systems online, if your tanks won\u2019t run, if your planes have all just fallen out of the sky, you\u2019re kind of screwed, aren\u2019t you?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The flagship journal of the Russian General Staff,\u00a0<\/span>Military Thought<\/span><\/em>, further echoes this concept. An article within the journal titled \u201cWeak Points of the US Concept of Network-Centric Warfare\u201d\u00a0<\/span>specifically<\/span><\/em>\u00a0points out the use of an EMP as a possible means of defeating the US.<\/span><\/p>\n
