Issue: North Korea keeps up with their nuclear program. The USA wants to take military action to destroy this but they don’t, knowing that North Korea could destroy the South in a couple of hours if any action took place against them. As well as that, it has been heard that the North wants to supply Iran & Syria with nuclear weapons (terrorists included). 90% of what goes into Korea comes through China (ex. Food & fuel) so China should toughen up on Korea.
Significances:
1) If North Korea gives nuclear weapons to terrorists there could be a possible occurrence of a war because the nuclear weapons will be used. South Korea will be affected if any US military takes action towards the North.
2) The Koreans have an impact on the US, and Iran/Syria. Everyone fears the Koreans because they are such an isolated communist country. Threats have been made but Korea can’t take action because many countries can be destroyed.
Analysis:
1) This article is useful as well as appropriate because actually you can discuss whether it is biased or not. I don’t think that any country is serious enough to launch nuclear weapons between each other because that can cause a huge issue.
2) It is reliable in the sense that Korea does want to sell Iran or Syria nuclear weapons. And we can discuss what may happen if this is done; major threats will be seen all the time so nothing takes place.
Quote: “The leaders and the army are well fed; they’re the only ones who are taken care of. They don’t seem to give a damn about the rest of the people are so beaten down that they become compliant.”
