The Pros And Cons Of North Korea

As president of the United States there are a lot of issues that can be handled without me.
There are some situations however that are very serious and pressing. A serious situation that has reached my desk needing to be dealt with is North Korea and their nuclear weapons. "North
Korea has had a interest in nuclear weapons since the mid 1990's, shortly thereafter the end of
World War II" (Rinehart). China has been North Korea's main source of goods since the Korean
Wars and has been the only people to want to help North Korea since the Kim regime has taken place. North Korea has had six nuclear tests (2006, 2009, 2013, twice in 2016, and 2017) since they withdrew from the Nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT) in January 2003. "North Koreas

Firstly, there is the issue that we may not know where all
North Korea's nuclear weapons and production areas are. If we go destroy their production and we miss something they can in return send a nuclear weapon to us or to our allies. Also, there is the matter that we may not be able to destroy everything even if we successfully find it all.
Striking first and it not being successful we always have the risk of them coming back at us, and coming back at us worse. We also risk starting and 2nd Korean war which would not be good for our allies.

Ruiz 3 With these three different options and their positive and negative sides as President of the
United States of America I choose to make a grand bargain with China. Making a grand bargain with China has the least amount of violence for the United States. Even though we will have to rely a great deal on China it will be worth it to keep our people safe. If China wants economic and security safety that’s a small price to pay for saving our Country from nuclear weapons. This choice will be our best way to neutralize the situation without causing a nuclear war. It is my responsibility as President to ensure the safety and balance of

Besides the fact that Mr. President sounds like an eight year old trying to impress his friends, he simply does not care that North Korea could potentially bomb us because he wanted to be sassy on social media. Nick has now realised that most people, especially those who have money do live in a different

Nocera writes, “During the 60 Minutes interview, Trump told [Scott] Pelley that he would force the Chinese to ‘do something’ about North Korea’s nuclear program — while also preventing them from devaluing their currency!” Nocera uses this information in his article to show that Trump does not think before he acts, which would result in him creating more problems for the country than he would solve. If Trump were to go through with this plan China would become our enemy. This would cause the trade between us to be cut off resulting in decreases in the economy, which would lead to another recession or even a depression. This would also bring into question as to what other countries will Trump force to do things.

We were discussing current events and the topic of North Korea came up. We discovered that the North Korean government had resumed its nuclear program. This news did not make us afraid as we knew that North Korea’s technology was subpar. Though the time of seeing North Korea as a minor inconvenience has passed. Every day the media bombards me about the threat called North Korea.

Recognizing the danger that North Korea and its neighboring country China represented to South Korea the United States kept a tradition that had been going since 1944 and kept over 100,000 of its soldiers on the Korean peninsula. Many believe this led to Korea getting a larger taste of the western culture which is now part of current Korean culture. This also helped give a needed boost to Korean economy as establishments were built up around military bases to provide additional food and entertainment to the many soldiers stationed there. While that number has dwindled over time, the benefits have only increased for both nations. South Korea has benefitted from the sharing of military technology, especially in its air defense program, which now boasts the United States PATRIOT missile technology in response to the growing number of Theatre Ballistic Missiles (TBM) North Korea has developed.

"About 46% of republicans support a preemptive strike on North Korea today-compare that with just 42% of republicans who say they don’t support it. Only 16% of democrats favor the idea of striking against North Korea, while 77% oppose it, according to a New Quinnipiac University poll." (Silva, Christianna. “Republicans Want Trump to Go to War with North Korea before Kim Jong Un Attacks the U.S.” Newsweek, 12 Oct. 2017. ) The issues between the United States and North Korea arose when North Korea started threatening South Korea and Japan, who are allies with the United States causing us to get involved.

As a result, the leaders of South Korea were faced with very difficult decisions to make. On one hand, if they wanted to maintain its wealth and success, they had to prevent war between the two nations, which most likely meant sending food, supplies, and more importantly money to North Korea, which would almost certainly go into funding North Korea’s military. On the other hand, if they did not want to give up those resources to the North Koreans, they would be forced to fight with North Korea, a mutually assured destruction. Clearly, these leaders are

In spite of the narrative of the Trump administration claiming that no concessions were made to organise the summit, the assembly of the leaders is itself is a concession from the US side and twisted victory for the DPRK. By accepting Pyongyang’s invitation, the United States is granting the DPRK government the status of a nuclear power that other state powers must negotiate with. This is a classical realism balance of powers argument. The notion that one country should not rise to dominance in a given region or the world by extension. Moreover, protagonists in this case, China, South Korea and United States all have tactical reasons for keeping Kim Jong-un’s regime in power, although without a nuclear weapons capability.

The pros of this plan greatly outweighs the cons. A few of the positive outcomes are that America will form an alliance with a huge world power, America will help end the suffering of millions in North Korea, and lastly there will be more space for the rapidly growing human population. A human being is defined by their personal rights and their ability to do things for themselves. This is not the case for North Korean citizens, so they fall into a category somewhere in between human beings and animals.

In particular, North Korea threatens the United States and the encompassing allies in the Pacific with nuclear warfare daily. With the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki still in the memory of many Pacific Islanders, it would be catastrophic to unleash another wave of attacks against a nation still recovering from the traumas of 1945.

Since 1945, the United States has acted as the last guarantor of world order and of regional power balances. It has provided security for many countries in an anarchic international system by its forward-leaning military presence, nuclear umbrella, and defense guarantees. But when Trump became the president, he may abandon all of those in order to focus on the United States security. He may abandon the U.S. allies, which cause them feel insecure and feel lost in this anarchy system. For instance, Trump had threatened to cut U.S. military assistance to Japan and even force Japan to develop its own nuclear weapons as a deterrent to North Korean aggression.

American and Chinese foreign policy overlap on a number of key issues in Asia and the Pacific. Of particular note is Taiwan, the South China Sea, a defiant North Korea, as well as the economic potential of Southeast Asia. China will continue to position itself as a regional leader, seeking to build partnerships and exert influence over diplomatic issues. This has been most apparent in China’s involvement in ongoing diplomacy and containment of North Korea (Quinn,

There were two crucial lessons I learned through my study of World History. Both of which will stay with me not only through my educational pursuit but with me through any field that I plan to pursue a career in. The first assignment that I have included is a set of notes that I took in World History. These were the notes taken that I planned to study off of to pass my upcoming exam. Being someone who was horrible at note taking and studying, I knew that this was my only option to passing the upcoming exam.
