JWR, as a longtime reader of your excellent blog, I feel compelled to write you today to ask a very important question concerning the VERY real possibility of war with North Korea. I talk with many people about geopolitical issues and almost ALL of them are very concerned about war with NK. Some, almost to the point of panic. My question is; in your opinion should hostilities break out what would you expect to see happen here in the U.S. in terms of a possible military attack by NK either by a massive cyber attack, missile attack by NK subs, or even a possible EMP via one of the NK satellites that cross over the central U.S.? NO ONE seems to know much about these 2 satellites and personally, I am most concerned about the EMP scenario. IMO, war hasn’t been this close to the U.S. mainland since possibly WWII. Any input on this subject would be most appreciated! KB in CT
