You’re right it wouldn’t be smart but with the rhetoric getting more and more heated who knows what either leader might do.
As for the EMP i was reading that much of the US power grid on the west coast is very old and they don’t have many transformers as they’re expensive and made in China and Germany.The EMP would fry cables aswell.So the defence systems maybe shielded but the civilian infrastructure is’nt.People would go ape **** if the power went down for years,industry,health care,food processing,everything would be crippled.
Also guidance satellites in the vicinity would be knocked out.
