First and foremost, I would like to thank you for taking the time to listen to my opinion on the issue of North Korea and Kim Jong Un’s regime. Madam Senator, America’s national security is in major trouble with this situation that is currently happening. We should be defending our allies who are at risk in this issue of war and are afraid of what the future holds with this country. There are innocent people in North Korea who are terrified for their lives begging to escape. North Korea is a problem that needs a solution immediately and the promotion of “world peace” by your party is not the answer to this recurring issue.
Senator McCaskill, as citizens, we understand you negate the idea or action of war against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) but, the supreme leader Kim Jong Un has made horrific threats of bombings against the United States for several years now. I believe that the time is now to increase sanctions and economic pressure on this leader’s regime. I am not one to promote harsh acts

Our nation’s military has technical and unyielding capabilities more than the Korean military under Kim Jong Un’s regime. Some people see Kim Jong Un as a reflection of former German dictator, Adolf Hitler, with some of the event that happened under Hitler’s leadership during the Jewish holocaust that relate to Kim Jong Un’s current leadership. Kim Jong Un is also seen to some as the reflection of “the thief” from the book of John in the Holy Bible, it states in the Bible that “the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy” and as we can see, that is the current mindset of this Korean leader in his dictatorship today. With this idea of North Korean threats, do you want us to lose our lives? Do you believe that peace is really the answer? Why is peace the
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.
After all accusations that North Korea made against the South Korea, the U.S Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has backed South Korea’s call for North Korea “to come forward with the facts about this act of aggression and above all, stop its belligerence and threatening behaviour.” U.S President Barack Obama made a decision according to South Korea concern adopting a newly aggressive military attitude towards its neighbour; he had directed military commanders to work with South Korean troops to make sure readiness and to deter future aggression from North Korea.
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
To begin with, If we were to go to war with North Korea they would be very pleased by it because they are not looking for any sort of compromise with the United States. According to the article, “The case for letting North Korea keep its nukes”, it states that from “the thinking here, as far as we can tell from the outside, is that you need to threaten North Korea with a credible
Since its creation after the Korean War in 1950, North Korea, also known as the Democratic People Republic of Korea (DPRK), has caused many problems for the United States. North Korea has, for instance, broken treaties and even gone so far as to threaten the use of nuclear weapons. Naturally, different presidents have dealt with North Korea in different ways. Take Eisenhower for example, he actually threatened the use of nuclear weapons against North Korea in 1953 (obviously before North Korea had nuclear capabilities). Many presidents ignored North Korea all together, and some tried to ignore the country, but circumstances did not allow
Since the year 1948, we, the people of North Korea have endured intolerable human rights abuses by the hand of our very own government. As individuals in this world, we are enervated with the governments unmindful treatment of its people. We demand an authentic democratic nation free from the reign of Kim Jong-Un. Must we rely on foreign nations to administer aid in times of famine while our “supreme leader” misspends funds formulating weapons of mass destruction? Must we live in a constant state of fear if we make one selves concerns heard? No, we must take the government into our own hands to better guide North Korea's political, civil, and monetary
North Korea’s commitments were broad and suggested that the Six-Party denuclearization agreement and the Six-Party Talks would resume. The collapse of the Leap Day Agreement now leads us to ask. what do we do now? (Revere 2) The proposal that Pyongyang set forth offers to temporarily stop nuclear testing if Washington cancels its future military drills with South Korea. Although it might not seem like a good idea to help North Korea and their economy because they might use that to further their development on nuclear weapons, if there is a slight chance to let them see that they need the United States and for them to denuclearize, we should take
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
In order to protect and advance U.S. national interests, while operating within the increasingly volatile environment on the Korean Peninsula, the United States must remain vigilant in deterring activities by the Kim Jung-un regime that threaten U.S. interests. Additionally, the DoD must remain
Unfortunately, that’s not the way the world works, so it calls upon upstanding member of the world to act against countries violating fundamental human rights. North Korea has violated the NATO peace treaty nearly one hundred times, disrespecting each member of the NATO alliance. North Korea’s goal being reaching the United States, and endangering the lives of American citizens. North Korea becomes America’s problem to take care of, by preparing a coup d’état, it becomes a quick solution. Continued support of North Korean citizens, under the new democratic regime, will allow success long-term of the desired change in government. Without the support of the populations, the coup d’état will be a failure, resulting in a revert into a dictatorship. Would you not like to be a part of the generation that put an end to the North Korean regime everyone
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
North Korea appears on the international stage as a country existing beyond the world we all know. It isolates its citizens from the rest of international community and does not obey any rules determined by international law, but requires respect and recognition. Moreover, North Korea is one of the countries that remains aggressive towards its neighbors and applies various terrorist techniques, i.e. illegal contraband, political terror and mass abductions of other countries’ citizens in its foreign policy. The reasons for which the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) behaves so unpredictably and irrationally are diversified. First of all, the DPRK as a country is managed very irrationally – regimes of Kim Il-sung and
At the beginning, our response to North Korea’s HEU and plutonium programs was very hostile and involved condemning them. Eventually, we took little baby steps to ease the tension. We also agreed to talk to them, but limited the things we could talk about with them. At the very time all of this chaos is happening, our relationship with the South Korea is reaching an all time low.
