World War 3: North Korea electromagnetic attack could ‘DECIMATE’ 90 per cent of the US<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A new congressional report has stated that an EMP attack would decimate America by targeting a key pillar of infrastructure, technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peter Vincent Pry, a nuclear strategist and formerly of the CIA, said: \u201cThe US can sustain a population of 320million people only because of modern technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAn EMP that blacks-out the electric grid for a year would decimate the critical infrastructure necessary to support such a large population.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Pry stated that up to 90 per cent of the US population could be wiped out thanks to starvation, disease and societal collapse.<\/span><\/p>\n

The strategist claimed that once the US is hit, food supplies would be consumed within three days and that food in warehouses would begin to degrade.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added: \u201cFood supply in local grocery stores would be consumed and the 30-day national food supply in regional warehouses would begin to spoil.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The 5,000 planes constantly flying over the US would be the biggest casualty of the EMP blast that could wipe out 500,000 passengers instantaneously.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bleak picture by the nuclear expert was made worse by his prediction that US nuclear plants would melt down in a week, causing radioactive destruction across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gas systems would also spark, causing fires in forests and cities set to wipe out further Americans.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, not all US experts believe the rogue nation poses as great a threat as the nuclear expert describes.<\/span><\/p>\n

James Clay Moltz, a professor of national security at the Naval Postgraduate School in California, claimed: \u201cPredictions of mass US casualties and demands for costly defences against a North Korean EMP attack seem unjustified at this time.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Despot leader Kim Jong-un is attempting to arm himself to the teeth as his threats of world annihilation continue.<\/span><\/p>\n

The isolationist nation recently declared that it has developed thermo-nuclear weapons that, when detonated at a high enough altitude, would have the effects of an EMP blast.<\/span><\/p>\n

The news of the potential destruction of a North Korean attack comes as it was recently claimed that the US has \u201cno coherent plan\u201d to deal with North Korea as World War 3 tensions reach critical levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

John Dunn, a political scientist from King\u2019s College Cambridge, has called out the US for lacking a strategy to deal with the rogue nation as it continues its quest for nuclear arms.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt is very bad for any American presidency to have any other country that doesn\u2019t have any other clear and mutual understanding about nuclear weapons to be in a position, in principle to attack the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States has no coherent plan for what to do about North Korea.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Dunn also said: \u201cIt is actually difficult to know what to do with the rogue nuclear state, which has new ways to secure the continuation of its political safety.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The political scientist added that Kim Jong-un’s regime may currently have the power to strike Los Angeles with a nuclear strike but the US would \u201cheavily attack North Korea and that will be the end of the regime\u201d as a result.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the news of a potential EMP blast would have the power to cripple the US technologies, potentially limiting the effectiveness of a counterattack from Washington.<\/span><\/p>\n
