current connection #3: Korean threats

In "LA Times" article by Barbara Demick and Ken Dilanian, called U.S. promises action after North Korea's blatant threats, citizens are informed of actions between North Korea and the United States concerning nuclear missile testing which was made clear that the target is our homeland.

"The United States and China reacted sharply to the latest torrent of belligerent language from North Korea, which called the U.S. its "archenemy" and said it planned to conduct another nuclear test despite international sanctions". The definition of sharply must be growing differently each day, for my opinion of sharply would be a forceful way to prevent anymore nuclear testing which has already been stated will one day be targeting the United States of America. When a country plainly states we are a target for nuclear destruction wouldn't that be deemed necessary for forceful reactions.

"Calling the United States the "archenemy of the Korean people," the commission said, "We are not disguising the fact that the various satellites and long-range rockets that we will fire and the high-level nuclear test we will carry out are targeted at the United States." This quote pulled from the article, explains the numbing fact that yet another country is becoming a nuclear power, and yet another country intends on destroying the western civilization we call home. For the second time in our nation's history we are looking North Korea in the face of a potential war.

With North Korea under the new ruling of Kim Jong Un rather then his father Kim Jong Il, it was expected to be a more moderate course yet it has turned into war threats supported by nuclear tests. The surprising step taken by Korea's long time ally China recommending the resumption of the six-nations talks on North Korea's nuclear program. Although North Korea is not wealthy, two nuclear tests have been conducted. The first in the year of 2006 followed by the second in 2009.

Personally it is a very important topic to thoroughly study for the sake of our nation will be determined by the outcome of events. North Korea testing long distance nuclear weapons, stating directly that the target is our homeland, evidence as such tends to worry the mind. Whether the U.S. retaliates or not will be upon us soon. Advising a war is not my position yet if it saves us  from nuclear destruction my vote will be positive.

In conclusion, with North Korea's leaders growing more and more insane through generations, if nuclear threats and tests do not cease it will be a head on collision between nations to see who the top dog is.
