Kim Jong Un: Nuclear Weapons Against The United States

This memorandum reviews the president’s decision regarding U.S. action towards the North Korean Nuclear Threat. Recent Claims made by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) on July 4, affirm that North Korea had successfully loaded a hydrogen bomb onto an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) with a minimum range of 6,200 miles. A missile with such potential and recent threats made on the U.S. territory of Guam, press for denuclearization must be of high priority. The president should revise his orders and policy options to safely and respectfully form a diplomatic relationship with China, Russia, and North Korea to slow down the denuclearization process. Failure to execute a policy option that will gradually decrease

Pollock stated, “..North Korea has repeatedly argued that without nuclear weapons it would be vulnerable to US decapitation and regime change akin to the fate of Saddam Hussein..” Since the manufacturing of lethal weapons has increased dramatically in the recent year's countries fear what North Korea is capable of doing.This imposes fear among their own citizens and other neighboring countries. “In a deeper psychological sense, Kim seems to regard nuclear weapons as the regime's ultimate form of protection, guaranteeing its survival in a highly malign world” (Pollock). North Korea desires deterrence to protect their country from this harmful world. Kim Jong-un desires deterrence within North Korea because he gains more power and feels protected from

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

There has been many assumptions about a North Korean war with the United States and even though nothing has happened yet we should all be prepared for what can happen. The United States getting involved with North Korea would be catastrophic because there would be several deaths. According to an article written by John Haltiwanger,“ The last time the U.S. and North Korea went to war- from 1950 to 1953- it’s estimated roughly because 2.5 million Korean people lost their lives. So imagine how many more people will die if we were to go to war and if there were to be a war the U.S. would be sending a strong message to North Korea because this would show that they would go through anything to protect their country and that they will fight for what they believe is right. War would not be the best idea because innocent people will be affected by it. Both United States and North Korea would be wasting a lot of money on this war. Not only that but also a war with the type of nuclear weapons that North Korea will use can lead to the end of the world. Meaning that there could be a global nuclear war.

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

North Korea has threatened America for quite some time now, with threats of bombs and nuclear weapons. Not only does North Korea wish to attack America, but they also threatened our ally, South Korea. North Korea is tired of being controlled and contained, and continuously threaten to start war. Trump has fought back against North Korea’s threats, stating that he will use “fire and fury”, however, our president also understands the cost of a pre-emptive military strike that many people want.

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.

There is no disbelief that the United States has had historical conflicts with North Korea’s dictatorial leaders. Currently there have been passing threats from North Korea’s dictatorial leader Kim Jung Un to US president Donald Trump. Using current international approaches to the North Korean nuclear problem-solutions are based on the logic of crime and punishment. “According to this approach, North Korea’s crimes – possession of nuclear weapons and violation of UN resolutions – must be punished through forceful, comprehensive sanctions. Such sanctions, the thinking goes, will cause so much discomfort in the North that the regime will be at risk of collapse and Kim Jung Un will be compelled to choose denuclearization (Moon, 2016, pg. 343).” Policy makers ideally want to ensure that foreign policy is perfected to the best of their knowledge and that national security is performing to the best of their ability. “America’s main motive has always been denuclearization in line with its nonproliferation policy, especially after post 9/11 security concerns (Petrželová, 2017, pg. 10).” To avoid similar events to 9/11 posed by North Korea, policy makers should allow counterterrorism tactics to be executed as thoroughly as possible. The protection and safety of US citizens should always be a top priority for government agencies and policy makers. Kim Jong Un, North Korea’s

Explanation: Like what it is said. North Korea can and will be a threat, and we need to keep a close watch on them before it is too late. Everybody needs to be ready. Kim Jong Un looks like an innocent man but behind closed doors, that is where he is most dangerous. He can be planning and preparing an attack that nobody even know.

North Korea has been under completely dictated control from Kim Jung Un and his deceased elders who have been in power before him are nothing to be fooled with. These men have been proven some of the most hostile men in history and have been known to rebel against rules and react to disciplinary attempts, with anger; as they did in 1953 when they announced they would no longer abide by the United Nations brokered treaty set by America. If America does invade North Korea, there needs to be thorough preparation for immediate isolation and containment of the country. Their extreme opportunistic values along with their hostility, makes for a dangerous and deadly backlash toward America. Since North Korea has threatened America (back in April 2013, on a near daily basis) this is a legitimate concern. One of their most memorable threats even described pre-emptive nuclear threats. Not only this, but it has also been said by Dr. Victor D. Cha, that North Korea produces ballistic missiles and has stockpiles of biological and

Did you know that it is estimated that North Korea has less than 10 nuclear weapons and the United States has around 7,200. Even though we have a lot, just one can do a lot of damage if launched. North Korea has been threatening the U.S. ever since the war we had against them. In their country they are taught we are not good people and we are one of two main enemies. I think North Korea is a threat the the U.S. because they have nuclear weapons, have a large army and are backed up by china, and they think we are bad and are ready to attack whenever.

The growing tensions between North Korea and the Unites States have resulted in President Trump issuing a statement suggesting the use of military force. It may not just be as easy as a push of a button for Mr. Trump.

(while) North Korea’s vice foreign minister, Han Song-ryol, said on Friday that the United States was 'becoming more vicious and aggressive” under Mr. Trump and that “we will go to war if they choose '” (LINE NUMBERS).

I do not believe Kim Jong Un will surrender his entire nuclear arsenal. Kim Jong Un is similar to the NRA (National Rifle Association). The NRA believes it’s their right to own weapons as long as they will never utilize their weapons, unless they feel threatened. Weapons are more for show, power, and to cause fear in others. Kim Jong Un must feel or has had threats to have created all these nuclear weapons. Also, Kim Jong Un must realize that an attack on America be an attack to the world, which means other countries would succeed to involve in the war. People consider Kim Jong Un to be a threat, for the reason that he has had his own family killed. But I feel President Donald Trump has a big ego, not to mention all talk no action, which means

Global security: Under his leadership, North Korea adopts a new strategic line on develop its army technology to have nuclear weapon and hydrogen bomb. Experts believe by 2020, North Korea will have over a hundred nuclear and biological weapons if left unchecked. Under Kim Jong-un, North Korea breaks, and ignores international laws. On March 7, 2013, North Korea threatened the US with a nuclear attack.Therefore, North Korea under Kim Jong Un will keep threaten several countries and threaten the global security.
