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.

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

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

According to a recent article entitled “North Korea tests most powerful nuclear bomb yet” written by Angela Dewan on the CNN website, North Korea has successfully tested a ICMB-ready hydrogen bomb. In her article, Angela Dewan explains how relations between North Korea and the US have become worse to the point that military options are being considered to deal with the recent successful underground hydrogen bomb test by North Korea. According to the article, the nuclear device was “more than eight times more powerful than the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945,” The article also explains how relations have become worse since the death of Kim Jong Il the father of the current dictator Kim Jong Un. Both South Korea and 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

The United States’s nuclear umbrella should not be withdrawn from foreign countries because of the risk of more nuclear weapon development. The United States can not keep world peace by dominating every country's decision on WMDs but the ones that are under nuclear umbrella protection can be prevented from creating more. A favorable reason the United States should be allowed to intervene is the country of North Korea. The North Koreans are not afraid of the U.S and their policies, indicated by North Korea's actions of nuclear missile tests. Republican candidate Donald Trump, has expressed his extreme dislike for nuclear weapons throughout multiple interviews. Trump said that the world's enemy is not global warm, but nuclear

In “Does North Korea Have the H-Bomb?,” Patricia Smith informs the readers about North Korea’s latest nuclear test and the country’s history. Kim Jong Un alarmed the world when he revealed that his nation had detonated a hydrogen bomb which would signify an increased risk. While the test may not have been a hydrogen bomb, it signified the threat North Korea poses to the world and proof that the country is working on advancing its weapons. The conflict between the United States and North Korea began when the Soviet Union established a communist regime in North Korea and the U.S. controlled the South. While South Korea developed into a democratic and high-tech country, North Korea developed into a communist country and a repressive regime. Furthermore,

The United States is left with an uncomfortable choice when responding to North Korea’s creation of the nuclear bomb and missile development. They have to either stick with a policy of incremental sanctions that has failed to North Korea’s nuclear advances or to pick among alternatives. In the article “A Big Blast in North Korea, and Big Questions on U.S Policy” it states, “This is very clearly a serious effort of amassing real nuclear capabilities that they use to deter the United States and the others” (Cha). The North Korean expert, Victor Cha, was persuading the government that to prevent any attacks on America, we must not add another sanction. The United States has only two options, stick with a policy of incremental sanctions or to pick

I am confident that with tactful revisions in our current policy, we can more rapidly denuclearize and freeze all nuclear missile activity in North Korea. These revisions include targeting financial and regulatory sanctions against any government, financial or business entity serving North Korea’s nuclear program, countering North Korea’s developing missile capabilities by securing the U.S. and South Korea with appropriate defense mechanisms and encouraging Russia and China to withdraw political support and increase pressure on the DPRK. Ensuring the denuclearization of North Korea is essential to ensure U.S. national security and promote

The article "North Korea Vs. The World" still relates to the Cold War, because it explains the tension between countries, over nuclear weapons, which is similar to the tension felt during the Cold War. A supporting piece of evidence states, "National security experts say the acceleration of North Korea's nuclear program is a serious threat to the U.S. and its allies in Asia, particularly South Korea and Japan." (Zissou 1). North Korea is continuing to expand its nuclear weapons program, and is becoming an even bigger threat to many countries, including the United States. This would lead to tension between countries, because of the extremely powerful capabilities of nuclear weapons. The U.S. and its allies would not trust North Korea,

North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un has made audacious claims alluding to the power and potential of the country’s nuclear programme. The United State has yet to confirm the validity of these claims, but the US intelligence has decided to air on the side of caution; our country is preparing for a nuclear strike. The most dangerous thing about Kim Jong-un’s claims is the details. A number of tests conducted, the type of bombs being tested, the material being used to manufacture these bombs, and whether or not North Korean intelligence has achieved miniaturization are all very important factors in the rush to defend our country against these threats. If the country has conducted multiple tests, it’s had more opportunities to refine its weapon; if the bombs are hydrogen bombs, they are far more powerful; if uranium is the nuclear reactant being used, North Korea can make many many more bombs than before; if they have been able to miniaturize a bomb small enough to fit on a missile, they can launch an attack on US soil. Kim Jong-un has claimed for all of these to be true, but the US is a strong, independent country, and any attack will be detected early on and met with an attack just as strong if

Thus, ideologically North Korean authorities believe they have no other choice but to antagonize the West. However, it appears that the DPRK has been undergoing a “crisis” in its terrorist activities - in September 2002 at a Japan-North Korea Summit Meeting after many years of denying any engagement into the Japanese citizens abduction issue Kim Jong-il admitted that the DPRK had abducted a number of Japanese citizens. He apologized for that and five of the abductees returned to Japan in October 2002. Another issue that supports the presumption that

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.
