The United States has several desired policy goals for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). In support of the National Security Strategy objectives of "defending the homeland, remaining the preeminent military power in the world, ensuring the balances of power remain in our favor, and advancing international order that is conducive to our security and prosperity" , the first and ultimate strategic policy goal is the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. The results from this policy goal would also lead to the dismantling of its current nuclear and ballistic missile programs. The second policy goal is to prevent the DPRK regime from continuing its current proliferation programs to malign actors. The final policy goal is to shut …show more content…

The U.S. sanctions and enforcement acts currently being imposed are difficult to enforce in order to effectively deter other countries from selling materials or exchanging data, particularly with countries like Iran and Syria.
I also do not believe that it's a realistic or practical expectation to prevent the DPRK regime's from engaging in illicit sales, smuggling, and trade activities across the globe using the current policy measures. The current policy measure of continued imposed sanctions and maritime interdiction programs have proven to have little effect without increased support from the international community. …show more content…

It is essential to have the international community's agreeance and support from the P5+1, South Korea, and Japan. The DPRK regime has invested the majority its GDP into their nuclear and ballistic programs and now the North Korean people have come to expect to have nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities for their security. So, in order to achieve this policy goal while also ensuring the DPRK regime's goals are being meet, I also recommend that in addition to the expansion of diplomatic and economic sanctions, to open multilateral negotiations for a freeze of North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missiles programs. A proposed freeze could possibly prevent the DPRK regime from further nuclear technological advances and also potentially limiting the incentive to sell its nuclear stockpiles to rogue actors. In order for the expansion of diplomatic and economic sanctions to be a realistic option and a successful course of action, the international community within the region will need to fully support

Imagine if you lived in a place where you had no freedom, and you were ruled by a man like Joseph Stalin. That is what it would be like in many countries if it weren’t for the United States’ policy of containment. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union wanted to take over other countries and make them have the government system of Communism. The United States didn’t like that, because they thought their governmental system of Democracy was better. As a result, the U.S. adopted a policy of “Containment”.

As an American, we cannot comprehend the types of laws that are enforced upon North Korean Citizens. A few bizarre controlment rules that I still struggle to comprehend myself are there are only twenty-eight ways North Korean men and women can cut their hair, North Korean Men and Women are not allowed to own a bible or any western literature, and also there are only three channels on tv and you must only watch those. Along with those laws in place, the North Korean government has control over education and news which leads to many growing up to hate other countries besides their own with no reasoning behind their hatred. Our lives along with many others are still being affected by the iron grip of societal norms.

The tone in the 2010 and 2015 National Security Strategy (NSS) is very different. The 2010 NSS shifts the US out of the leadership role. It puts the US in the roles of partner, member of a coalition, but not necessarily the leader. In the 2015 NSS there is more of a “we will lead” tone.

The stated goal of the Iran Deal as laid out by the JCPOA is to both prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and to attempt to change Iran’s fundamental approach to the issue (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, 2016). Therefore, the primary goal of the nuclear agreement is to extend Iran’s breakout capacity; that is the time required to produce enough fissile material for a nuclear weapon (Heinonen, 2016). Toward this end, the plan places physical limitations on Iran’s nuclear capabilities, so as to close off what the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) sees as the three potential routes to a nuclear weapon: the plutonium, Uranium, and covert routes. Blocking the first two routes involves modifying or incapacitating existing nuclear
