Hypothetical situation:
Russia, who emphasizes its space weapon program as a crucial component of their defense strategy, detonates nuclear weapons 100 -200 miles over the United States of America.
The ripple effect causes a pulse of energy that wipes out anything that has electrical components. The ripple covers the nation, causing the nation to fall to its knees.
There would be no fallout with this attack, at least no nuclear fallout. No explosion will be seen.
At first, cities will think it is just a localized power outage. Citizens will wait for the electricity to come on.
Denial.
Airplanes will fall from the sky, literally. They will fail and fall, killing all on board and anyone who is below and in their path. The only airplanes that will work are the early models and those who are stored in a place that acts as a Faraday cage.
Cars will all roll to a stop, lining the highways, freeways, interstates, city and country roads. The only vehicles that will work will be early, early models without the computer components and those few that are stored where there is a facility that acts as a Faraday cage.
Shock
Next, citizens, medical facilities, infrastructure facilities and others will try to turn on their backup generators. None will work, all will have failed.
Panic
The first to die will be those with pacemakers, those in intensive care and other facilities, those who rely on dialysis and other life sustaining processes, and other like situations.
Survival
Once people start looting and gathering things they think they need to prepare for the end, bank vaults will be emptied because there is no access to digital records, there will be opportunists who rob stores of their money, thinking it will prepare them for what is to come but it won't.
Those with medications that they take for maintenance will go through withdrawl and some will die. Many will have psychotic breaks, creating a real zombie apocalypse.
Reboot
Martial law will be implemented across the states and in communities.
Trade and bartering will be the only way to get what you need, unless you beat and kill others for it.
Violence will take place as death, fire, shortages begin to ripple across the nation.
The end of the United States
Russia comes in with troops once the ripple has flowed across the country, once the death and destruction has brought the U.S. to its knees, starting to roll back to primitive behavior.
There will be pockets of organization where the constitution is still being held onto. The U.S. Constitution will be fought for once again, from the beginning, or is it from the end?!

"The EMP Commission reports that: "China and Russia have considered limited nuclear-attack options that, unlike their Cold War plans, employ EMP as the primary or sole means of attack." The report further warns that: "designs for variants of such weapons may have been illicitly trafficked for a quarter-century."
During the Cold War, Russia designed an orbiting nuclear warhead resembling a satellite and peaceful space-launch vehicle called a Fractional Orbital Bombardment System. It would use a trajectory that does not approach the U.S. from the north, where our sensors and few modest ballistic-missile defenses are located, but rather from the south. The nuclear weapon would be detonated in orbit, perhaps during its first orbit, destroying much of the U.S. electric grid with a single explosion high above North America" CLICK HERE FOR MORE
"The EMP Commission was established pursuant to title XIV of the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (as enacted into law by Public Law 106-398; 114 Stat. 1654A-345). Duties of the EMP Commission include assessing:
- the nature and magnitude of potential high-altitude EMP threats to the United States from all potentially hostile states or non-state actors that have or could acquire nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles enabling them to perform a high-altitude EMP attack against the United States within the next 15 years;
- the vulnerability of United States military and especially civilian systems to an EMP attack, giving special attention to vulnerability of the civilian infrastructure as a matter of emergency preparedness;
- the capability of the United States to repair and recover from damage inflicted on United States military and civilian systems by an EMP attack; and
- the feasibility and cost of hardening select military and civilian systems against EMP attack.
The Commission is charged with identifying any steps it believes should be taken by the United States to better protect its military and civilian systems from EMP attack." CLICK HERE FOR MORE
"A few seconds after 11 p.m. on July 9, 1962, streetlights on the Hawaiian island of Oahu blinked out. About 300 went out in total, but, happily, it didn't matter. The skies over Hawaii were lit up nearly as bright as day for the same reason that the streetlights stopped working: The test of a thermonuclear weapon nearly 1,500 kilometers away over Johnston Atoll."

"“Furthermore, they are exploiting what they perceive as space vulnerabilities – threatening the vital, national, civil, scientific, and economic benefits to the U.S. and the global community.”
Talking about Russia, the admiral notes:
Russia’s 2010 military doctrine emphasized space as a crucial component of its defense strategy, and Russia has publicly stated they are researching and developing counterspace capabilities to degrade, disrupt, and deny other users of space. Russia’s leaders also openly assert that Russian armed forces have anti-satellite (ASAT) weapons, conduct ASAT research, and employ satellite jammers.
“China, like Russia, has advanced ‘directed energy’ capabilities that could be used to track or blind satellites, and like Russia, has demonstrated the ability to perform complex maneuvers in space,” he added" CLICK HERE

Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful, undeniably scary time-lapse map of the 2053 nuclear explosions which have taken place between 1945 and 1998, beginning with the Manhattan Project's "Trinity" test near Los Alamos and concluding with Pakistan's nuclear tests in May of 1998. This leaves out North Korea's two alleged nuclear tests in this past decade (the legitimacy of both of which is not 100% clear).
Each nation gets a blip and a flashing dot on the map whenever they detonate a nuclear weapon, with a running tally kept on the top and bottom bars of the screen. Hashimoto, who began the project in 2003, says that he created it with the goal of showing"the fear and folly of nuclear weapons." It starts really slow — if you want to see real action, skip ahead to 1962 or so — but the buildup becomes overwhelming."
"Russian generals have previously warned the EMP Commission that a top-secret design for a super-EMP warhead was accidentally leaked to North Korea in 2004.
Now intelligence experts have warned that North Korea’s launch of the KSM-4 satellite on February 7 may be used to “practise” an EMP attack on the United States – potentially causing a blackout on the national grid, killing millions.
Allnewspipeline.com reports:
On Oct. 8, 2015, NORAD Commander Gortney told the Atlantic Council, “I agree with the intelligence community that we assess that they [the North Koreans] have the ability, they have the weapons, and they have the ability to miniaturize those weapons, and they have the ability to put them on a rocket that can range the [U.S.] homeland.”
On April 7, 2015, Gortney said NORAD is moving back into the underground bunker inside Cheyenne Mountain, spending $700 million to further harden the bunker against nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack from North Korea and others."
