They're really good little worker drones, but they have no gift for innovation. The Chinese economy is based on copying other people's shite and reproducing it. They invent almost nothing.
They are excellent little thieves though.

We funnel the most money through the defense department. I would be surprised if we spent the most money on the military or defense though.

If one side uses EMPs then the other side will too. Just like with nukes it’s mutually assured destruction.
Cities would be the areas of concern. If power is out more then 72 hrs people in the cities will start to food riot.
The IS would be effected the most as we are more dependent on technology.
Urban China is acrewed but rural China still lives in early mid 1900s. Same for Siberia and other eastern Russian areas. Africa and parts of south/Central America not as bad either. Western and Central Europe screwed as well.

Genuinely curious, how’d you go about that?

Yet they can't do this to Ukraine, right next door?

Svetlana Tubes in St. Petersburg being the largest manufacturer of vacuum tubes in the world.
That plant shut down several years ago. Expo-pul in Saratov still produces vacuum tubes, but it is owned by an American.
Shaguang in China took a dump from COVID. The guys that are left are making HiFi grade tubes. The Sino Co-op died over 10 years ago.
JJ Electronic in Slovakia still makes tubes.
Western Electric in Georgia (USA) makes them also.
That's it. Svetlana shut its doors. Expo-pul owns the rights to the Svetlana brand you see now, but those are made in Saratov.

I'm guessing that Russian military morale isn't very high. Watching so many of their fellow countrymen die in Ukraine and it taking so long to conquer a small country.... they probably aren't feeling so patriotic.
IMHO

As if we do not have subs parked 50 miles off their coasts right now? They aren’t going to emp themselves….

Mine was made during new construction, actually for hurricane resistance and insulation purposes.
But a grid of small steel cabling in an attic would provide good - very good protection.

There are some that seem to want this, but that's not what I meant at all. I just mean we're scared of Russia when Ukraine has exposed them as wildly incompetent.
