First 3 bolded points in article:

EMP attacks are unproven, and the academic community finds this claim ridiculous.
Even if North Korea did pull off the attack, it wouldn't hurt the US's nuclear systems that are hardened against EMPs

I don't know how many articles since Trump was elected have had these Armageddon kind of tones, especially around NK, but clearly most if not all are sensationalism at its worst. And the underlying intent is to create a tone of fear that subverts the national dialogue. It is really pathetic
