Why We Should NOT Attack North Korea?

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

Previously, the United States had created a defense perimeter that bordered Korea in order to protect Japan from communism. The US saw North Korea’s invasion as a direct threat so the country immediately sent 250,000 men to try to reunify Korea. Near the beginning of the conflict, North Korea pushed the South Koreans all the way to the southern border of Korea with the help of Soviet soldiers. In response the United States sent more soldiers and began nuclear threats. We were able to push North Korea back across the original border and end the conflict with a

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 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

II. I grade the President as a C and Congress as a B. I chose this grade for the President because he had met some of my expectations on what he stated, as well as

The thought of nuclear warfare with North Korea or any other hostile country is very disturbing. It is good to know that the U.S. has a few allies that can help us out if disaster does strike. I hope that this claim made by North Korea is untrue and they do not have access to very lethal devices for a war. Thank you for

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

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.

America should not use "fire and fury" on North Korea, because of the effects of Nuclear weapons and the fact that the leader of the country we’re trying to attack is a lunatic because he has killed his own family while in power (biography.com). The people Kim Jong un has killed that were that “close” to him while in power were his uncle and his own half-brother (biography.com). To explain, Kim jong un is a crazy person with nukes which is not a good combination. However, Kim Jong Un is crazy which is exactly why we should attack North Korea. If we did attack North Korea, there countries would be ruined and many people would debate the damage that would occur like in the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings in WWii which killed around “200,000”

This was part of the reason why China backed the North Korean regime during the Korean War . China wanted the buffer zone between them and the United States. The United States will have to decide if they will remain on the Korean peninsula after the newly unified country becomes stable. The United States can justify its existence on the peninsula now however, once the North Korean threat is removed, the United States will have a more difficult time defending its presence. If the United States were to remain on the peninsula this could escalate tensions with China who like Korea is a nuclear power as well. The United States could find itself in another difficult

I am going to show pre-emptive war with North Korea is wrong because according to Aquinas’ second criteria for Just War, the United States does not have just cause. North Korea has not attacked the United States or deprived them of their rights. With the state of North Korea’s nuclear program, they have not proved that they are a credible threat to the United States. Having a leader that is unpredictable does not provide a reason for a pre-emptive strike. Also, there are four other criteria that are commonly cited for just war in the modern era and I will be citing one of them- last resort. The United States has not arrived at a last resort situation and therefore does not have justifiable reason to pre-emptively strike North Korea.

Nuclear bomb threats to the United States, I believe, is the main reason invading them would be the best idea. In my opinion, I don't think North Korea’s nuclear bombs have the right requirements to hit the United States, but they are still a treat. North Korea may say they have the technology and

     I think there are many things that the United States has to do in order to resolve the problems that are occurring and to prevent more problems from happening in the future. The first thing that I think the United States should do is to treat them as nicely as possible, even if it means going against what we believe and letting them get away with bad behavior. In the long run it might be a bad thing to do because it could influence other nations to think that they can walk over us and take advantage of us. However, I think it would be the correct thing to do right now because the last thing anyone wants is a nation that is angry with you that holds nuclear weapons. If, however, North Korea refuses to accept our proposal for negotiations and does not agree with anything that we have to offer, I think the only other option is to attack them with

As a military invasion would be impossible because of what is known as Mutual Assured Destruction. Ever since nuclear weapons were invented any nation that has obtained them has never gone to war with another country that also has weapons of mass destruction. Therefore, the only solution to the denuclearization of North Korea would be a regime change. For North Korea is the most sanctioned country in the world and has remained defiant of denuclearization. Any more sanctions (i.e. Obama’s policy) is useless as they will never give into the world's demands. Consequently, a regime change could occur from the military or a revolution from the peasants. This could be achieved by using stealth bombers to drop propaganda pamphlets to the North Korean Populous to incite a revolution. Once a Civil War or Coup de ta is instigated then have the U.S. provide weapons to the opposing side of the current regime. Even if the Civil War or Coup De ta fails the war could last several years. As a result, it should destabilize the nation and militarily weaken it, which would reduce its nuclear arsenal in the

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
