The entire infrastructure of the United States could be disabled in the event of an attack with the use of electromagnetic weapons from Russia or China. This is reported by The Washington Times with reference to the results of the Federation for World Peace conference, which has a consultative status with the UN ECOSOC.
Experts said that this issue has been discussed for a long time, but the situation has worsened after China tested hypersonic weapons this summer.about:blank
It is noted that if the existing technologies are used together with new developments, China will be able to leave the United States without electricity, water supply, sewerage and transport with just one blow.
Russia and the DPRK also pose similar threats to the United States, although North Korea does not have the same broad opportunities.
“They will use not only electromagnetic weapons, but also cyberattacks and physical sabotage,” said ex-CIA analyst Peter Vincent Praia.
The publication also notes that in the event of a power outage in the United States for one year, up to 90 percent of the country’s population will die.
“These countries can bring us to our knees in one day, and at the same time there will be no need to fight with either the Marines, or the Navy, or the Air Force,” analysts said and urged the US authorities to think about how to avoid the Doomsday scenario.
