For all of the Trump brass ’s lies , the Trump era has introduce a strange newfangled brand of true statement - recounting among White House official . For object lesson , Ben Carson recently described what an attack on the US electrical power grid would look like , and it ’s not pretty . In Carson ’s opinion , America would look like the 2013 movieThe Purge .
From theWashington Post :
“ Did you know , ” the escritoire of housing and urban exploitation asked his acting chief of faculty , Deana Bass , at a Capitol Hill holiday party , “ that if North Korea set off a nuclear weapon system into our exosphere , it could take out our intact electrical grid ? ”
Bass shake her mind .
“ What ’s that movie where there ’s complete lawlessness and anarchy for one night a year ? ” Carson say , sedately resting his right paw over his left hand . “ ‘ The Purge ’ ! It will be like ‘ The Purge ’ all the prison term . ”
To which I have to say … where ’s the prevarication ? Also … do you cerebrate Ben Carson really watched The Purge ?
Carson is obviously a sports fan of ofttimes compare our own creation to that of dystopian fiction . And I honestly have to say that he may be one of the few Trump functionary making any sense these days . The only part that Ben Carson seems to be block about The Purge is that it ’s largely about the racy slaughter poor the great unwashed who ca n’t hold themselves .
A state of war with North Korea would be absolutely ruinous , not least because it would pluck near - peer antagonist like China and Russia into the conflict . There ’s no such thing as a clean state of war , and if theme that President Trump wants to pull out off a preemptive “ flaming nose ” onset on North Korea are accurate , things could get really mussy really apace .
We saw on the dot the kind of real world affright that can result with that put on alarm missile alert in Hawaii last calendar month . hoi polloi were suddenly faced with the prospect of death and many went into hiding , while others tried to choose the children with which they might be expend theirlast moments on Earth .
Nobody knows if a foreign adversary attacking America ’s electrical grid would really turn the country into a material - spirit variation of The Purge . But here ’s hoping that we do n’t have to find out .
