North Korea And Nuclear Bombs

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, formally known as the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK), is a relic of the Cold War and the world’s last remaining totalitarian Stalinist dictatorship. Arguably the most secretive state in the world, North Korea poses a unique set of challenges to the world, especially to its democratic and capitalist neighbor, South Korea, formally known as the Republic of Korea (ROK). As one of the last remnants of the Cold War era, North Korea remains an anomaly of the international system due to its unpredictable nature and disregard for international norms. With the recent bombardment of the South Korean Island of Yeongpyong and the sinking of the warship Cheonan, tensions between the two Koreas are at the lowest point since

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

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

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

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

A country shrouded in shadows, North Korea, is ruled by the reprehensible dictator known as Kim Jong-Un. Known for their antisocial and hostile aura towards other countries; this has led to the extensive secrecy of the country, primarily in the field of nuclear development. It was said in late January, North Korea had performed its fourth nuclear test of a so claimed hydrogen bomb (H-bomb). A hydrogen bomb relies on nuclear fusion, the exact same chemical reaction that drives the Sun, making it more powerful than atomic weapons (TheWeek). The dangers of a country, particularly North Korea, having a H-bomb at their disposal could lead to great harm for the rest of the world. Even with that said, the United States does not need to overly

In the article North Korea Defector says Information More Dangerous than US Threats, Zachary Cohen, an experienced writer for CNN, suggests that North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un is preparing himself for a nuclear was that only he is going to start and persuading people that Un is not prepared to rule North Korea. He develops this claim by first telling who he is interviewing and why this man is important. He tells the reader that this man escaped North Korea with his family while they were on a business trip. He then continues to explain that because Thae Yong-Ho was high up in the secluded countries government, he knows what is happening and what Kim Jong plans to allow to

This briefing will address the necessities of United Nations to pressure the Democratic People of the Republic Korea, also known as North Korea, by adding sanction to the country. As a hegemonic state, the United States is a significant state to play a role as the leader to enforce DPRK to withdraw itself from the threat of the global security and morality. DPRK had broken many regulations of the UN treaties on militarization, nuclear activities, and violation of human rights. Although the US is one the countries that has the most stock of nuclear weapons , it is aware of its destructiveness and vulnerability more than any country that hold nuclear weapons today. After continuous negotiations to suspend its conductivity of nuclear activities, DPRK had repeatedly engaged and disengaged its pursuit for a nuclear reform. Should the U.S. violate DPRK sovereignty and prioritize world peace and order? As an established great militarily powerful state, the United States must persuade the UN to keep adding sanctions against the DPRK.

This is due to his predecessor not letting IAEA inspectors acquire a full scope of the country’s nuclear program, which includes proof that the obtained plutonium wasn’t being incorporated in warheads. Before long, he rolled ahead and expelling the inspectors while plans for reopening a plutonium reprocessing plant were underway (Norris & Kristensen, 2005). Thereupon in 2009 after readmitting inspectors, Kim Jong-Il expelled inspectors yet again and informed the IAEA that the nuclear program would be resuming (Landler, 2009). This was a horrible, terrible move on the leader’s part. North Korea was well on its way to being view in a positive light again until they expelled inspectors on two different occasions. Essentially all of the aid they were receiving at the time was cut, which was a devastating blow to the country as it still hadn’t recovered from the famines in the late 1980’s early 1990’s. Now his son, Kim Jong-Un, has more or less been screwed over as now he has inherited power from his father’s mistakes of their nuclear program and the lack of foreign

One of first steps to save the North Korean citizens is to give these people hope and the information that there are people working from the outer world to save them. Since the North Koreans lack such knowledge, the United States should focus in communicating with the people. I believe such connection is necessary because it will give the North Korean the strength and the purpose to endure. Efforts just made from the outside world are not enough. We need the people in North Korea to start the revolution. One of North Korean government’s greatest fears is the

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

People of Earth need another option to live in case of a disaster. North Korea’s recent actions are a good example of a possible nuclear disaster. According to foxnews.com, North Korea launched a missile at the United States on April 15, 2017, but thankfully failed.This is just the most recent of many threats from the country.

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 .

This article deals with the United States and its attempts to deal with the dangerous matters of North Korea. Some of the problems that were brought up in this article were North Korea’s plan to restart a plutonium based nuclear program at Yongbyon, North Korea’s plan to build a new highly enriched uranium (HEU) nuclear program, and the tension that emerged between the United States and South Korea. Even though many problems were occurring, there were some positive things that were happening at the time. The United States began negotiating with North Korea and South Korea about establishing railroad links, demining portions of the demilitarized zone, allowing athletes to compete in the Asian games, and allowing abductees to visit Japan.
