North Korea carried out its sixth and most powerful nuclear test in an extraordinary show of defiance against President Trump on Sunday, saying it had detonated a hydrogen bomb that could be mounted on an intercontinental ballistic missile.
The test, which the North called a “complete success,” was the first to clearly surpass the destructive power of the bombs dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II.

After all, what’s more important? That one simply drops an Atomic bomb ushering in the possibility of the end life as we know it on the planet (TEOTWAWKI), or that one is never, ever gender “insensitive“?
After the Norks or Iran (or both in a combined attack) launch their nukes on a low specifically targeted orbit, the lights go out on the 21st Century. As Newt Gingrich says, “The North Korean EMP threat” would be the “gift package” that could cause World War Z, the Zombie Apocalypse. Perhaps I took a little liberty with that last, so here’s Newt’s actual quotes.
On Tuesday, Pyongyang completed its ninth ballistic missile test this year. The North Korean state run media said its maniacal leader, Kim Jong-un, threatened to send a bigger “gift package” to the United States.
The lights are already out in North Korea
As I testified at the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources earlier this month, the North Koreans have another offensive option, which they may already be able to execute and would be devastating to the United States – a weaponized electromagnetic pulse.
An electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, occurs when a relatively small but carefully designed nuclear warhead is detonated in the atmosphere. The explosion causes what can best be described as a massive power surge, which can damage or disable electrical devices for hundreds of miles on the ground below. As I told the Senate Committee, such an attack would be catastrophic to the United States because we are an electricity-dependent nation and our grid is ill-prepared to handle it.
