Kim Jong Un: Nuclear Weapons Against The United States

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

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 nuclear program has been at the top of the US’s list of things to abolish for many years now. Supreme leader Kim Jong Un has finally announced on April 28th that North Korea will be stopping their nuclear program and will bring a complete end to the long lasting Korean war. Kim Jong Un stepped foot into South Korea to meet with President Moon Jae-In on peace and made history being the first North Korean leader to step foot in South Korea since the beginning of the Korean War.

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.

One of the security challenges facing the United States (US) is the US and North Korea relations. The US policy toward North Korea is diplomatic yet firm. North Korea is our longest standing adversary. Policy toward North Korea is one of the most enduring foreign policy challenges. In this essay I will discuss the security challenge of U.S. and North Korea, the theory of international relation, realism, how it illuminates this challenge and how the instruments of

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

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.

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).

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

The United States’s nuclear umbrella should not be withdrawn from foreign countries because of the risk of more nuclear weapon development. The United States can not keep world peace by dominating every country's decision on WMDs but the ones that are under nuclear umbrella protection can be prevented from creating more. A favorable reason the United States should be allowed to intervene is the country of North Korea. The North Koreans are not afraid of the U.S and their policies, indicated by North Korea's actions of nuclear missile tests. Republican candidate Donald Trump, has expressed his extreme dislike for nuclear weapons throughout multiple interviews. Trump said that the world's enemy is not global warm, but nuclear

“On the Brink” by Evan Osnos is an article about one of the most serious problem in the world which is nuclear weapon of North Korea. According to this article, the world is facing the risk of a nuclear war. Both leaders of North Korea and America do not want to resign the other and they push the conflict to the highest level. In my opinion, verbal battles between Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump will make this situation worse than ever before and a war is the last thing we need.

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

Alternatively, his serial provocations could incite a South Korean or US military response that creates an unstoppable escalation spiral. The logic of Trump’s ‘America First’ policy contains the rationale for preventing North Korea from acquiring the capacity to strike the US mainland, regardless of the scale and gravity of the harm inflicted on South Koreans, Japanese and others in the region. The Kim dynasty has outwitted the United States with more tenacity, resourcefulness and single-minded determination. There is nothing the world can offer Kim that he would value more than his prized bomb. More sanctions suffer from the law of diminishing returns. Any country is exposed to the threat of sanctions when it is fully integrated into

The world will have to go through what happened in Hiroshima again or maybe even more.“People living in Seoul would essentially have zero to 6 minutes — from the moment a missile is launched to the time it hits the target — to take cover in the event of a strike, Schiller and Wright said.” South Korea the closest possible target of North Korea and they only have 0 ~6 minutes to react to the bomb then that would be a issue. Once North Korea decides to strike there will be no time to stop them, and the only way to stop them is to start reacting now by getting the media’s attention on the news. “The North has already tried to help Syria build a nuclear reactor that could produce materials for nuclear weapons.” Not only is North Korea trying to build their own Nuclear weapons they are helping others build weapons. They helped Syria build nuclear weapon resources, and Syria is 32% of America’s enemy. The more allies that North Korea get, the more chances of North Korea bombing other countries.
