Brad Thor’s War Gaming on North Korea Might Keep You Up All Night

Author Brad Thor has done his fair share of war gaming for research on books like Use of Force, his latest thriller. What does he think about the situation brewing in North Korea? He joined Glenn on Tuesday to war game scenarios. Grab a teddy bear, this might keep you up all night.

“A lot of people scoffed and laughed when they did their nuke tests, when they detonated underground, and said, wow, these are relatively small, low-yield things. Ha, ha, ha, they can’t really build a serious big bomb,” Thor joked.

“Well, if you think they’re going to put them on top of a missile, you may not be worried about, you know, this thing being equivalent to what the Russians have. But, you know, the North Koreans have put a couple of satellites into outer space. And if they put one of these low-yield bombs into a satellite and detonate it over the United States, the electromagnetic pulse is going to wipe us out. We’re going to go back to the 1800s in the blink of an eye.”

Glenn reacted with surprise.

“Jeez, I haven’t even thought of a satellite. Thank you, Brad. Thank you for that,” Glenn said.

“Yeah, you’re welcome. Sleep well tonight. Tania, I’m sorry,” Thor responded.

So, how does this whole thing end with North Korea?

“My money would be on actually some sort of a coup and China being the brains behind it. That would be what I hope,” Thor said.

Now what about Russia and the Middle East?
