North Korea's advancements in ICBM technology pose a grave threat to the U.S., particularly the risk of an EMP attack. An explosion in space could disable electronic systems across the continent, sending society back to pre-electronic conditions. Detonating a nuclear device at high altitude could unleash a surge of electromagnetic energy, potentially crippling power grids and communication systems. Historical tests have demonstrated this risk, highlighting the need for vigilance regarding North Korea's missile capabilities and their implications.
If even a single missile took out a U.S. city, the economy of the country and the world would take a massive hit.
A powerful enough explosion could generate a power surge of up to 50,000 volts per meter, far beyond the capacity of most electrical systems.
