To send us back to the 19th Century.
Imagine an America with no electricity. We are sooooo dependent on electricity we would starve.
No Twitter and no Facebook would drive some people to insanity.
An atomic weapon, and theoretically a non-nuclear EMP (electromagnetic pulse) weapon, launched to the edge of our atmosphere, could wipe out the electric grid to an extent that would take YEARS to repair.
Not that it would be easy, but it is not impossible to imagine NK smuggling in a weapon and launching it with high altitude balloons, or a relatively small rocket to an altitude of 60 miles.
