I think I'd rather lose the grid world-wide (without nuke strikes on cities. Well, OK - the world could certainly stand to be rid of Rome, London, Washington DC, Brussels, Basel, Beijing, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Mecca, & Medina). If the world's electricity was EMP'd then we would be forced to keep using cash because their damned CBDC/Social Credit Slavery System would be Dead. In. The. Water. True, so will a large portion of humanity, abruptly without electricity. But let's be honest here - we ARE going to lose a shit load of them anyway, from the bio-weapons, the deliberately created famines, (soon to be full-on) wars, and energy shortages. The primary difference in the people making (somehow) a pre-emptive EMP attack is we would then have a fighting chance against the bastards, if everyone has to go "off grid". We don't stand a snowball's chance if the "patrician plutocrats" and transhumanist WEF'ers and their various pet Militaries & BigTech get to keep all their high tech surveillance, weapons, and financial systems running....
