Another great show. He said he thought Israel would use an EMP against Iran to disable them as bloodlessly as possible.

Does Israel have the capability for this? It would not surprise me.

hmmmmm.....

[Not Perfect, But Forgiven]

If he is using an EMP theory, I wonder how israel would plan to contain the sphere of magnetic energy that will not only take out the plant but their own equipment as well? They must be willing to sacrifice some inconsequential components and collaterals. It's not a bad idea, but it leaves too many variables unsolved for things to go wrong. Alltogether,it is the most humane and bloodless option.

That's simply sensationalism. Israel will not detonate a nuke over Iran unless it was in response to Iran firing a WMD at Israel. Israel does not need to use a nuke to send Iran back to the stone ages.

[Joseph The Carpenter]

The concept of the explosively pumped flux compression generator for generating a non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse was conceived as early as 1951 by Andrei Sakharov in the Soviet Union,[15] but nations have usually kept their most recent work on non-nuclear EMP highly classified until the technology was old enough for similar ideas to be conceived by physicists in other nations.

culturally they are still there

I have read Israel may have the technology to do this without a nuke and they are prepared with much of their own (government and military) electrical hardware protected in hardened encasements. It is said they could have the rest of the country up and running again in a few weeks. In other words they would be prepared to suffer somewhat as well to take out Iran sending them back to the stone age.

The EMP theory sounds weak. The nuke test with an alleged EMP effect was the Starfish Prime back in 62. It used a 1.4 Megaton warhead with extra isotopes and was exploded at 250 miles in altitude. It caused some streetlights to go out in Hawaii along with some power and a microwave relay. That is not the blanket effect they should have had and even then they cannot prove the cause and effect relationshp. Nevada has had many nuclear tests without the same results. The test were different but much closer to more sensitive equipment. The EMP could be true but all I see appears to be conspiracy theory.
