North Korea's Nuclear War

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

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

One of the significant events were at Yeonpyeong in 1999 and 2002. There were two battles that were fought between South Korea and North Korea. Tens of people died and injured from the battle. Those were little combats compared to Korean War, but these battles were telling that two Korea were still in war. In East Asia peninsula, North Korea and South Korea were confronting due to North Korea’s intimidation on bombing. North Korea’s Kim Jong Un said that the modern war is artillery war. The tension among both Korea and United States was really intense in that it is almost the moment of rising of the war. North Korea is threatening America on nuclear bombing in that United Nation is strongly corresponds on their actions. Actually, both sides are almost got ready on the war and it seems to occur. Kim Jong Un was looking for the place to bomb. There were also threats that occurred recently due to nucleic bombing. North Korea is keep doing the nuclear test by firing a rocket to the space as satellite. This is nominal satellite in which they are actually doing a nuclear test. By using nuclear power, North Korea wants to get the initiative from South Korea and attract China to be their

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.

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

Efforts to unify Korea resulted in more than 100,000 deaths due to guerilla warfare. In April 1950, North Korean leader Kim II Sung persuaded Joseph Stalin to back an invasion of South Korea, convincing Stalin that the United States would not intervene. Stalin agreed to provide arms, equipment, and advisors to the North Koreans (“Korean War”). Kim II Sung did not stop there as he also persuaded the newly communist Chinese to aid the North Koreans. The Korean War, (June 25,1950 – July 27, 1953), occurred when over 75,000 North Korean Army invaded the land across of the 38th parallel. American president Harry Truman was feeling heat after “letting China fall”, so Truman ordered American troops into action on South July, the United Sates entered the conflict on South Korea’s behalf. The next three years would be the darkest and most horrific in Korean history. As seen in American reporter Bill Shinn’s account, “the North Koreans were gruesome…during the occupation of South Korea, they killed over 165,000 civilians. Also, I witnessed a South Korean mass execution of civilians suspected of having helped the communists. Korea was a mess” (“The Forgotten War Remembered: Korea, 1950-1953). This shows the depths of the horror that was perpetrated in Korea for three years.

In addition, two accidents strengthen the Reagan administration’s support to South Korea. First, on October 9, 1983, North Korean attack in the Martyrs’ Mausoleum of Rangoon, Burma, killed 17 South Koreans and four Burmese. Even though President Chun saved his life, South Korea lost many high ranking officials (p.119). Second, on September 1, 1983, the Soviet Union attacked Korean Air Lines Flight 007 because the flight had intruded into Soviet territory to gather military intelligence for the U.S. After the incident, Reagan assailed Soviet’s massacre and savagery in his public addresses and launch a vigorous anti-Soviet campaign (p.117).

The United States had just ended World War II, and the conflict in Korea had

Pyongyang and Beijing have been having a rough time especially after China arrested Zhou Yongkang, who was China’s third most powerful politician and when Jang Song-thaek, who was the second powerful man in North Korea, was executed. Since these men were both in charge of relations between Pyongyang and Beijing, North Korea and China were left with no way to calm the rising tensions between them. Now that Russia and China are focusing on their own struggles, they aren’t able to continue protecting Pyongyang. With North Korea fearing attack, there was a need to gain a new political relationship that could help North Korea’s economic recovery and guarantee survival---this being the United States.

Not surprisingly that the Chinese and the North Korean began to spread the rumors that the United States was defeated and was kicked out of Korea. Furthermore, the Chinese described their action in assisting the North as “revolting Americans, supporting North Koreans,” “protecting North Korea from the ‘invasion’ of United States.” While they might have their own perspectives but it is obvious that the truth was twisted and the neutrality of tone was distorted.

The Korean peninsula has been a volatile area since the end of World War II. Today it is the last example of a single nation divided between two states, represents the longest division of ideologies, and is the archetype of enduring Cold War symptoms. Although small in size, The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has been the biggest obstacle to regional stability in Asia, its militant and hostile policies posing a threat not only to western aligned nations, but also to its former and present benefactors, Russia and China. This dangerous country represents a very important target for the United States’ Intelligence Community, an extremely difficult one to exploit, but one that cannot be ignored as North Korea’s ambitions

North korea was now defenseless . So of course the only the obvious happened literally everyone in Africa saw it as the first time any of them could actually manage to take over another country so they all headed over there to fight to the dearth for the land but since none of them could afford cars they all had to walk. But then the unthinkable happened that shocked everyone at disneyland every single gaming n00b on the planet had came marching in and closed in on the front gates which alone was strange but then that 's when I

Back in Washington, President Clinton’s administration concluded that North Korea was reviving their nuclear missile program and demanded access to the suspected facilities being built. Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, granted access to multiple locations to U.S. officials for inspection of facilities in exchange for financial aid and food (Hathaway & Tama 724). North Korea’s negotiation for aid from the U.S. does not come as a surprise for the simple fact that citizens living under the supreme leadership of Kim Jong-un live in absolute poverty. Although the state-run government experiences hardship by trying to provide an adequate supply of food for citizens; the government spends a huge sum of money to maintain a large military force.

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.
