Subject: Russian Warns One Big EMP Could Cripple America
Date: Tuesday, May 18, 1999 10:42 PM
On May 18th I attended the Cato Institute's day long conference "NATO's
Balkan War." The ten presenters generally agreed that the US and NATO
had blundered into an illegal and counterproductive war. They only
disagreed about the fastest and least costly and humilitiating way of
getting out of it. (And at least one libertarian panelist seemed open
to a humilitating exit, if it would teach the US and NATO not to aggress
again.)
Our luncheon speaker was Representative Kurt Weldon (R-PA) who led an
early May delegation of U.S. congressional representatives to meet with
members of the Russian State Duma to discuss ways to end the US-NATO
bombings. Weldon repeatedly expressed the opinion that President
Clinton wants the bombings to continue for irrational reasons which are
unclear to his congressional critics.
During the question period, I asked Weldon, "Given the weakness of the
Russian missile alert system, especially with probable year 2000
computer problems, and the irrationality of both President Clinton and
President Yeltsin, who already several times has threatened nuclear war
over the bombings, what do you consider to be the percentage chance of
nuclear war in the next 12 months." (My question and his reponse were
the first and only reference to nuclear war during the conference,
except for one panelist's sarcastic comment about using nuclear weapons
against Belgrade.)
Weldon said (somewhat paraphrased): "This is why we in Congress are
working so hard and doing our own negotiations. We are worried about
the Russian nuclear safety issues. We are worried about the possibility
of nuclear war over the instabilities this war has caused. In fact, I
have a story to tell. When the eleven members of our congressional
delegation were sitting there with the members of the Russian Duma,
Chairman of the Russian State Duma Foreign Policy Committee, Vladimir
Lukin, warned the Americans, 'You have to understand that if we want to
cause you a problem over this, we could. Someone, we don't know who,
could send up a missile from a ship or a submarine and detonate a
nuclear weapon high over the United States. The EMP (electromagenetic
pulse) would take away all your capability.'** So we in Congress take
this whole situation very very seriously."
This warning is even more direct and threatening than President Yeltin's
several warnings that the bombing of Yugoslavia could eventually lead to
World War Three or that Russian would massively retaliate should one US
bomb stray into it's territory.
**Note: an electromagnetic pulse from a high detonated nuclear weapon
could burn out most unprotected electrical and electronic equipment,
unprotected computers, solid state electrical components of aircraft,
modern autos, trucks, tractors and most consumer equipment and
effectively bring America to a halt.
