The effects of an EMP have nothing to do with "sideband and sidetone",
the damaga is not limited to RF amps, and a lot of the damage will be
due to the amount of power that the internal circuitry will pick up.


Anyway, in the light of the events in Paris last Friday, and previously the
attack
on the World Trade Centre on 11/9 the costly and
unnecessary nuclear deterrent doesn't seem to be working awfully well, does
it?

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?
