EMP you should consider the inevitable posibility

Ignition and operating systems of every kind of transportation and logistics as well as automated warehouse pull and ship systems

Their economy is the US consumer. That is the only reason I think they do not attack. And the fact that they are buying America at every level while our "leaders" squabble over pronouns....

What about short stuff in Korea?

We know our Credit Cards and other major things, cars, computers, will stop. But what are we missing?
I know Bic lighters and matches will work. Along with hand operated can openers.
Water well pumps?
Garage door opener.

I actually have a sundial time piece I got when in boy scouts. (and no, it wasn't back in the stone ages)It has instructions along with an onboard compass to adjust for magnetic north vs true north so the time will be more accurate as well as location correction.
Off to see if I can find it.
Edit: not where I thought it would be. but it looks like this pic I robbed from the internet.

Everybody keeps talking about the grid going down. Why isn't (or is there) anything being done to solve that issue?

I am not in the industry nor do I have first-hand knowledge. However, I have been told prior to covid many of the more significant larger components are produced in China and take at least 18 months from order to receiving them. This is during times where we are supposed to be trading partners. Since covid I am sure that time has increased. If it were war or some other issue, we would be in significant trouble.

If you have any interest at all in this subject, I highly recommend "One Second After" by William Forstchen. It's an entertaining yet sobering read about how the days and months following an EMP strike would likely play out. Important takeaway: The most valuable commodity won't be gold or cigarettes or gasoline. It'll be ammunition.

I worry about our own idiotic dark government setting off one to push the narrative.
Trump and Russia and lawful gun owners fully blamed and prosecuted on tv by Joy and Whoopie and AOC of course

Then your missile(s) would have to have make it thru the anti-missile defenses.

You mean like the Chinese "weather baloon"?

We’re no threat to China, AND we owe them too much money.

And a total takeover is the equivalent to a bank bank repossession.
