Chinese or Russian military satellites could deliver a hydrogen bomb and detonate it over the USA, knocking out its electrical grid and communications system and frying all electronics including those in vehicles, rendering them inoperable. Hostile space weapons orbiting over the USA and waiting for instructions to deliver their nuclear payload, must be hunted and destroyed.

If you were to listen to UFO conspiracy theorists the USA has had a secret space force for a long time already! Hahaha...

Nevertheless the potential threat from EMP is very real whether from the sun or a high altitude nuclear detonation. Here is a 40 minute interview with one of the foremost experts on the subject, Dr. Peter Pry. He also wrote a book called "Blackout Wars".

Another threat that gets even less attention, perhaps because it's never been knowingly used at high mass, is a kinetic orbital strike. EMP is good for knocking out the power grid whereas kinetic bombardment could achieve similar destructive effect as a nuclear weapon without EMP, and also without the nasty radiation fallout effects.
