• This can't be minimized--this is a threat to the American people that must be taken seriously.

"...the Congressional EMP Commission, comprising the foremost experts in the Free World, warned in 2004 that “Several potential adversaries have or can acquire the capability to attack the United States with a high-altitude nuclear weapon-generated electromagnetic pulse (EMP). A determined adversary can achieve an EMP attack capability without having a high level of sophistication…"
...recently-declassified EMP Commission study as stating that one or more Russian nuclear missile submarines could utilize a relatively small number of super-EMP weapons in a surprise attack to paralyze U.S. strategic and conventional forces and blackout the national grid, knocking out US national missile defenses, the Pentagon command center, NORAD, U.S. nuclear bombers, and U.S. nuclear submarine bases.
Such a comprehensive super-EMP attack could be executed with very little warning in as little as several minutes from launch. 
Super-EMP warheads detonated in outer space would leave no bomb debris for forensic analysis and thus could destroy U.S. critical infrastructures and kill tens of millions of Americans anonymously. The study also states that such attacks could also be used by the Russians to defeat NATO and occupy much of Europe or by the PRC to knock out Taiwanese defenses and U.S. aircraft carrier groups to ensure the success of a hypothetical Chinese amphibious invasion of Taiwan."
