Honestly, I think this is hilarious. It's North Korea, I mean, what can you do? They think they're a major threat to us, but in reality, they aren't, that's why both The United States and South Korea are not taking this threat very seriously. With it's current dictatorship that is failing in almost every way, excuse me, every way possible, North Korea is not really in the position to be threatening neither it's southern neighbor nor the U.S. The situation actually reminds me of a very popular series that I just read, "The Hunger Games" series. Here you have a country that has just been demolished by a major war almost a century prior and what remains is a corrupt dictatorship that is leading a failed nation. This is very similar to the situation in North Korea: the Korean War was a little more than 60 years ago, and now, because of a stale mate, the opposing remains of North Korea have become a country of 23 million in poverty with a young, inexperienced "leader". And don't even get me started on Kim Jung Un. I mean, have you seen the guy? He looks like baby, literally.
I am Big Baby with serious face.
I am Big Baby and I'm in charge.
I am Big Baby and I have pin with my daddy and grand-daddy on it. Cheese.
I mean, does this man even look fit to govern a nation? No. He's killing his people. Millions of North Koreans are suffering from failing health and starvation and are attempting to defect to South Korea and other free countries because this man ^^^ is a selfish, inexperienced toddler who driving the country even further into the ground all the while claiming that he is a major threat to the United States, South Korea, and the rest of the World.
Below is the link to the article that I referenced to in this post.

While North Korea is in shambles, and they possess a very inexperienced leader, I believe that you should never underestimate your enemies (because let's face it, North Korea and us as friends is not going to happen). I think that while their government has a weak leader on top of a failing dictatorship, they still need to be taken seriously. Nuclear weapons are no laughing matter, even if it would appear that the country cannot get one launched. As far as we know, they could have faked the launch failure to lure the U.S. and other countries into a false sense of security. Another thing to consider-every failed launch brings them one step closer to having a successful one, which I fear may come sooner than many expect. I will also GUARANTEE this: When North Korea successfully launches a nuke, the U.S. government and the Pentagon will be sweating bullets. When we dropped the Nuclear bomb on Japan, it was bad. That was about 40ish years ago. Technology advances-today's nukes will probably cause far more destruction than those ones did. While North Korea may not be in the position to be making threats, the U.S. is also not really in the position to do much either. With our sky high debt and not so great economy, we aren't exactly in the position to "force our will" on North Korea. While some people may laugh this off, I see it as a serious threat, and I hope our leaders will at least look further into it.
ReplyDeleteWell said.
ReplyDeleteI apologize for how brief this is but I only have a few things to say.
ReplyDelete1. You can NOT call Kim Jung Un a baby.
2. North Korea can do damage to the US and South Korea, or they wouldn't exist today.
3. The US, as well as South Korean, leaders are taking this seriously. Nuclear action by North Korea would be detrimental to the target as well as start an all out war.
