The scenario you mention involving an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) attack does not directly equate to the physical destruction of the United States but rather refers to the potential disruption of critical national infrastructure, particularly the power grid, communications, and essential systems like transportation and nuclear reactor controls.

Here are the key points of that EMP scenario:

EMP Impact: High-altitude nuclear explosions (like those in the scenario) generate intense bursts of electromagnetic energy that can disrupt or destroy electronic systems over a wide area. This type of attack could severely damage power grids, communication networks, and other critical infrastructure, potentially causing long-lasting blackouts.

Widespread Disruption: The scenario implies that the EMP would take out critical electronic infrastructure across the U.S. A loss of power and communication systems, coupled with cascading failures of essential services, could lead to widespread chaos, but not immediate "physical destruction" in the conventional sense (e.g., from blast damage or radiation).

National Vulnerability: The main concern with an EMP is the collapse of modern infrastructure that relies heavily on electronics. While an EMP could indeed have devastating long-term effects, including the shutdown of emergency systems, water treatment plants, transportation, and food supply, it does not equate to the literal destruction of the country.

Nuclear Reactors: The failure of backup systems at nuclear power plants, as mentioned in the scenario, could indeed pose a secondary risk, leading to potential meltdowns or radioactive leaks, exacerbating the crisis.

However, some important clarifications:

Destruction vs. Collapse: The scenario describes a potential collapse of infrastructure and a possible national emergency due to the loss of critical systems. It doesn't describe nuclear bombs wiping out the U.S. in a conventional sense (i.e., leveling cities and physically destroying the population).

Hypothetical Scenario: The scenario you're referencing is largely hypothetical, designed to highlight the vulnerability of electronics to EMPs, rather than a certainty. The reality of such an event's success depends on a variety of factors, including U.S. defense systems and preparedness.

In conclusion, while an EMP attack could cause major disruption and damage, it is not the same as destroying the entire United States physically. The U.S. would still exist but in a severely compromised state, with economic, social, and technological recovery taking time.
