Blog Post #10- North Korea: Friend or Foe?


For many years now the relationship between the United States and North Korea has been very interesting to say the least. The current topic that has sparked many political debates and is causing political controversy because of President Obama's thoughts of North Korea possibly having a nuclear missile. As it stands now, Obama believes that North Korea does not have a nuclear missile because he states: "Based on our current intelligence assessments, we do not think that they have that capacity." In other words, he does not believe that North Korea can fit a nuclear warhead on a missile. The question that many Americans are asking themselves are "Are his estimations correct, is there anyway Barack Obama can get a definite answer?" If I was put into the President's shoes, I would start taking action by placing missile defence systems to guard against any threats towards the United States just to be safe. I would make sure that we abandon our "hostile" policy and nuclear threats because the United States Secretary of State(Kerry) states and ensures "As long as the US sticks to its hostile policy and nuclear blackmailing against North Korea, sincere dialogue can be held only after North Korea prepares its nuclear deterrent fully to thwart a US threat of nuclear war." Like said in the quote, the US treat of nuclear war can be prevented by doing the right actions. In summary, Barack Obama needs to listen to Kerry and keep on thinking of more efficient ways to stay safe and form a friendship between USA and North Korea.

  1. Something needs to be done about North Korea, enough is enough. They have posed way too many threats, practised testing nuclear weapons and even created a video detailing their plan on blowing up America. I honestly hope they back down on their threats, because if they do attack America there is no chance we will see a North Korea the next day. Kim Jon Un should be worrying about his own country not others. They are currently in desperate need of food but no they would rather start a war than help themselves. As i said i hope something is done about them
