Russia and North Korea Relations

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

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

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 cold war in the cold war was waged between the united states and its allies against the Soviet Union with its satellite states. But after the disbanding of the Soviet Union in 1991 the new enemy that believers of the new cold war point to are North Korea and Russia. Both North Korea and Russia have a great dislike for the united states and its ideals of socialism. North Korea is lead by Kim John-un a young power-hungry leader that looks to build North Koreas nuclear arsenal. Kim John-un has threated the united states numerus times and trying to build a nuclear missile that is powerful enough to make it to the united states. For these reasons North Korea looks to be the most likely candidate for the united states to

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

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.

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

does not belong in Washington. Urge Stalin to pay us a visit. Settle the Korean question . . . give the Koreans a government of their own.

Getting China to pressure North Korea to change its behavior is the only logical strategy for the United States and its allies. Unfortunately, through its strategic incoherence, general incompetence, poor decisions and dangerous bombast, the Trump administration has weakened most of America's alliances, undermined US credibility, and significantly empowered its adversaries. In spite of the recent UN sanctions, the Trump

The US’s economy is one of the best in the entire world while North Korea's economy has declined in recent years. So there can’t be any arrangements their not only because North Korea is a communist country and the most disliked country in America, but because the US’s economy is many times better than the economy of North Korea. Since they cannot be allies because of Marx’s theory of economic determinism and other events that occurred is why North Korea is has been threatening the US with a nuclear missile

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.
