North Korean Satellites May Hold Nuclear Bombs

North Korea has two satellites that orbit above America and may hold nuclear bombs, a report recently declassified by the Department of Defense (DOD) warns.  

If either satellite holds a nuclear bomb, it could be detonated when above America, cause an electromagnetic pulse (EMP), and break America’s electric grid indefinitely. A full 90 percent of Americans could die.

A wide consensus has emerged that a nuclear EMP poses an existential threat to America. Official reports from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a task force from the DOD, and the congressional EMP Commission all agree on this point.

Kim Jong Un agrees. North Korean state media has threatened that it could destroy the United States by detonating a nuclear bomb at “high altitudes for a super-powerful EMP attack.”  

North Korean pronouncements even tie their satellites to their nuclear weapons: “The nuclear weapons we possess are, precisely, the country’s sovereignty, right to live, and dignity. Our satellite that cleaves through space is the proud sign that unfolds the future of the most powerful state in the world.”
