As there has been no nuclear wars, I would say the "nuclear deterrent"
has worked well.

What nation state would you target for a nuclear reprisal?

Let's start with Chippenham.


Wot became of the Chippenham Volcano Experiment?

Are you capable of making positive social comments?

No doubt there are those who will misunderstand, perhaps for the purpose
of being obnoxiously argumentative, as does reay, the nub of my posts above,
which is, that
the threat to world peace does not come from nuclear bombs, but
figuratively, from an armada
of rowing boats crewed by those wearing the Osama Bin Liner and brandishing
sickles and scimitars.

With the outpouring of shock, hypocritically from Yankland, Britland and
France who supply the international
arms market which market supplied the AK47s and explosives, with "only" 250
people killed
or wounded, who, now, in their right mind, would set off a nuclear bomb
where the
damage to people would be many thousands of times worse?

So there is no purpose to the waste of money and resources inherent in
nuclear bombs

It is indeed a mess, and I'm doing my own part to be prepared.

However that includes some options not available to you. Example: a few
semiautomatic rifles, pistols and several thousand rounds.

Nope, John Brown was fighting his own war against the US government; a
totally different thing from citizens resisting terrorism.

A better analogy would be the local farmers, shopkeepers, and militia
that pinned down Brown and his troops in the Harpers Ferry Armory
until the Marines arrived.

It is not just the RF amps.
The EMP is a high power broadband RF pulse that will turn almost any bit
of wire regardless of length into an antenna and so fry any small scale
electronics that it attaches to.
Any electronics that is not in a Faraday cage is at risk if it is in a
high power region of the pulse.
