    Tactical nukes or high level EMP are the probable options; M.A.D just doesn't make sense anymore, why irradiate your enemies equipment when you can take it! Besides, as long as the oil is intact, would any superpower care??!

    To be honest it's not nuke but bio I'd be worried about, nuke I'm dead and can't do anything about it, biological is a whole lot scarier than that in my opinion.

    Isn't it nice when someone says "that's a great piece of kit, where did you buy that", then you can modestly reply "you can't buy it, I made it myself". The moral is, it's amazing what you can achieve if you put your mind to it.

    Aye an exo-atmospheric blast is a possibility and in my view the most likely scenario.... unless Obama pushes the wrong desk button when trying to order its morning coffee.

    Exo-atmospheric blast creating a massive EMP will see us finding out how to live in reality once again. Without the idiot box in the corner of the living room and some folks might even learn to use a map again!

    Just have to feel for those hooked to machines in hospitals as I don't think they are stormproofed.

    Be under no illusion if Putins army go on tour there would be little we could do especially if China joined in too - Their conventional forces are plentiful enough and sophisticated enough
