North Korea's Cowards

In today's society, Kim Jong-un of North Korea is a feared dictator in the aspect of nuclear warfare. Although he says he has the "nuclear button" on his desk at all times, this is more of a scare tactic than a nuclear threat on the United States. Throughout different regions of the world, beginning in 1896 (Blow 12), nuclear warfare research began, resulting in the drop of the first atomic bomb during World War II in 1945 (Blow 104).

Since the 1950’s North Korea has posed as dangerous threat to The United States and its allies. With North Korea development of Nuclear arms and its consistent hostile rhetoric and actions towards the United States. With the North Korea’s development of a long range ICBM, more now than ever the United States has been put into a position where its and many of its

The U.S. helped to divide the Korean peninsula at the end of World War II, and then waged war against North Korea in the 1950s. Although the U.S. signed a peace agreement rather than a peace treaty with North Korea after the war, its policy toward the country changed. Instead of trying to overthrow the North Korea government, the U.S. government adopted a policy of containing communism. During the 1980’s, associations between North Korea and the U.S. start to take on a new diplomatic form. North Korea’s nuclear weapons program had become a pressing international issue

In the article “Should the United take more aggressive action to prevent North Korea from building a nuclear arsenal?”, it explains how the power of possessing lethal weapons can affect international affairs, and this is a concern that U.S. wants to prevent a war. The article describes how this became an issue after the Korean War; U.S. tried to prevent communism to spread, so in order to do it, the Peninsula of Korea was divided in the 38th parallel, making North Korea communism and South Korea democrat supported by the U.S. Furthermore, the article argued about the nuclear arsenal that North Korea possess since the early 2000’s and U.S. tried to stop them to develop such weapon. In order to make them stop, U.S. and many other countries tries

Kim Jong-Un, the First Chairman of the National Defence Commission, an ambitious and arrogant guy. His ambitious identity could be exposed from: ‘Threatening to fire his increasingly capable missiles toward the United States’ and ‘By declaring war on South Korea’ [Inside the mind of

The general argument made by Harry J. Kazianis in his work , “The North Korea Nightmare”, is that North Korea chose to isolate themselves thinking that is better for their country but in reality it is not . He writes “there is only one thing that is clear: Tensions on the Korean peninsula are only going to get worse”. In this passage , Kazianis is suggesting that Kim Jong Un is not doing a great job running his country and is causing his country to become isolated from the other countries . Kim enjoys flaunting around his new weapons .”Every time Kim tests a new weapons system — or decides to parade them down the street — the world goes into a panic.” This shows that Kim enjoys the reactions of other countries causing mass destruction and contemplating

Since the end of the Cold War, the cases of nuclear proliferation in Iran and North Korea have gathered enormous international attention. Iran 's nuclear program appeared as a result of the Cold War alliance between the United States and the late Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. In 2003, Iran was suspected of developing a military nuclear capability and is now developing medium and intermediate ballistic missiles, which are capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. On the other hand, North Korea set off a nuclear device and declared suspicions about a military nuclear program in 2006. Iran and North Korea have recently started cooperation to develop multi-stage ballistic missiles and have conducted several missile flight tests over the last few years (Schmid, 2008).

For the past two decades, North Korean citizens have been going hungry and not receiving the disaster relief they desperately need after they have dealt with different forces of nature. North Korea has been building a nuclear weapons arsenal since the 1990’s, costing the country large amounts of money at the expense of food aid for their people. The technology for this arsenal was first bought from Abdul Qadeer Khan in exchange for ballistic missile technology. Khan, a nuclear physicist and the father of the Pakistani nuclear program, is also accused of selling nuclear weapons technology to Iran. North Korea first bought the nuclear weapons technology to begin their own nuclear program to compete with the United States’ nuclear capabilities,

Moreover, DPRK’s foreign policy since the 1970s focused on forceful unification of Korean Peninsula and spreading communist revolution in the South. It has to be remembered that an official doctrine till the end of the 1970s ideologically and practically postulated communization of the south on the basis of military intervention . Since that time North Korea placed its spies in the East Asia and started sheltering revolutionists and terrorists from all over the world, among others nine members of radical left-wing group called the Japanese Fraction of the Red Army who skyjacked a Japanese airplane to Pyongyang in March 1970 . Furthermore, North Korea has been for many years developing its nuclear program and numerously threatening to use it what obviously attracts attention of the whole world .

North Korea’s Nuclear Weapons program is a major international crisis. In early September of this year the radical regime of North Korea conducted a Nuclear Weapons test, which broke regional stability and put the world on alert. North Korea continues to test intercontinental ballistic missiles and develop more dangerous nuclear warheads to eventually strategically strike South Korea and the United States. The test was later confirmed by many intelligence agencies as real and extremely powerful. With current policies failing to address the issue of North Korean Nuclear weapons program the international community should implement policies of coercive diplomacy, non-government organization executed soft power or putting pressure on China to end the threat of a nuclear weapons attack.

Ed is a big fan of Winry on multiple ways. However he is or was most impressed by her ability to save lives. Having been unable to revive his mother, he admires her skill to heal and save which is different then his tendency to destroy. This shows that even without being strong and having super powers or alchemy, Winry is just as important as the rest even to the point of admiration.

The North Korean government continues to financially fund the research and testing of nuclear and ballistic missiles. Little information is known about the North Korean nuclear program and has been made available to foreign nations due to the secrecy and isolation of international affairs. The threat of a nuclear strike from North Korea has become an increasingly serious matter for many nations including the U.S. and its Asian allies, Japan and South Korea. Currently, there are only nine nations known by intelligent analysis that possesses the resources to manufacture nuclear weapons which do include the U.S. However, North Korea is the only nation in the 21st century to conduct a nuclear missile test that has been reported by North Korean

Kim Jongun, has mentioned before that he wants the world to look up to his strong country as a nuclear power, rather than just a mere country with multiple sanctions shouting big words. This in the past has led to various consequences from hegemonies all around the world who feel threatened by the implications of a young tyrant in charge of ICBMs. This is a clear example of the security dilemma in which the entire world, the anarchy that it is, has to control minor nations that strive for hegemony at the expense of the larger nations’ security and loss of leverage. Unfortunately, it seems that despite the clear warnings from the superior nations, the North Korean dictator has no interest in abiding by international rules and is far more fascinated with realist ideologies of projections of power.

North Korea’s threats have taken a toll on not only the United States but countries around the world. Nuclear accessibility has caused them to take their threats to a whole new level which has the potential to annihilate the democratic world we live in today. Just this year, “North Korea threatened a nuclear strike on “the heart of the US” if it attempts to remove Kim Jong Un as Supreme Leader” (North Korea). North Korea is not the only threat we face either. Countries across the globe have access to nuclear weapons which can be launched at any given time. In 1987, during the prime of the Cold War, “The USSR alone controlled 40,000 nuclear warheads” (32, Katherine). Luckily today, through treaties passed by international governmental organizations

Most people stop believing in mythical creatures once they become teenagers, but apparently, North Koreans don’t. The state-sponsored Korean Central News Agency reported the discovery of an ancient unicorn lair (Mosbergen). North Korean officials claim that the finding proves that Pyongyang was the capital of ancient Korea. The so-called “Democratic Republic” seems to be stopping at nothing to gain supremacy over the rest of the world. They’ve gone farther than reporting bizarre findings – Kim Jong Un has also vitalized one of the most aggressive nuclear programs in the world in their quest for global supremacy. While they don’t yet have the technology to pull it off, similar ideas have been sweeping around the world creating a global phenomenon: nuclear proliferation, which is essentially the spread of nuclear technology around the world. Nuclear technology isn’t the devil—it has potential as an energy source. However, utilizing it to make weapons has detrimental effects on the world. But in order to properly understand the negative effects of nuclear proliferation, it is imperative to first understand the historic context of the situation.
