North Korea has only mrbms not ICBMs so they can not hit the us from where they are they are. The us has ships parked in the oceans surrounding north Korea that can obliterate the cost in a matter of hours. Once the coast is gone the air force will take out any Korean defenses.

My two articles are about the issue between North Korea and US. The one article talks about how North Korea might try to launch missiles at US, Japan, and South Korea. My second article talks about the missiles that they do have wouldn’t even be able to reach us and Japan and South Korea are the only ones that could actually be in any danger from North Korea launching an attack. Even if North Korea were to declare war against the US they would most certainly win. North Korea are claiming that their intercontinental ballistic missile, that we believe will be launched in the coming weeks, is able to go 6,000 miles which would put the west coast in danger but the odds of their missile even working without testing is slim to none. North Korea will probably never try to start an all-out war with us and are most likely trying to seem intimidating.
These two blogs talk about the dispute between north Korea and the u.s. over nuclear warfare. This is a highly debated topic because some people are thinking that Korea is overreacting and should not be threatening the u.s. with the nuclear ware fare that is becoming more and more available to the lesser and not as powerful countries to superpowers such as the u.s. and Russia. It can also be looked at because north Korea is a big threat go the u.s. due to their new development in nuclear technology and their bad attitude towards other countries. It is getting a more "uneasy" topic to discuss because north Korea is testing out their new missiles to see how far they can reach. The u.s. citizens are debating on how the u.s. gov is dealing with these sort of foreign affairs, by either getting highly involved to make sure the citizens of the u.s. are safe or to stay out of it and hope that the issue will solve itself
My two articles talk about today’s foreign policies and how President Obama is putting them into action. He wants to make sure that American citizens are safe, and making sure that the United States stays strong and prosperous for the 21st century. Thanks to our servicemen and servicewomen we have now definitively ended the war in Iraq and have begun to wind down the war in Afghanistan. President Obama has also been working on the National Security Strategy which will lay out an approach for advancing American interests, including the security of the American people, a growing U.S. economy (hopefully), and support for our values and an international order that can address the 21st century challenges that we may encounter in the near future. President Obama has also strengthened America’s old alliances and has been making new alliances to ensure the safety of America in the future. My articles also talk about the issue at hand about North Korea. In the last couple of months, North Korea had made multiple threats and provocative actions towards the United States. They have been working on a new nuclear device and are taking practice runs to see how far the missiles will launch. Citizens are worrying that their threats are becoming serious and the government and president are working on how to protect U.S. citizens. However, other citizens think that the North Korea crisis will pass with time.
As American waits for North Korea’s missile test, we are prepared for anything to happen. North Korea has been steadily working on increasing their capability to launch their missiles, U.S officials believe that they are preparing to test fire a medium range Musudan missile. The North American Aerospace defense command, which is responsible for U.S homeland defense is watching North Korea via satellite and Navy destroyers armed with missile defense systems were positioned to best be able to detected and track North Korea’s possible missile launch. We would be able to shoot it down, if there would appear to be a threat to American or its allies. Do to the fact that America isn’t backing down North Korea will probably pull the plug on this current crisis, by launching a test missile. After weeks of escalating tensions and the possibilities of nuclear warfare shooting off a missile that causes no damages will give Kim Jong Un the easy way out and be able to appease his people and his military. Experts say that because leadership in the capital is shady they are unaware of how far Kim Jong Un will actually go.
My two articles are about the North Korean threat of testing nuclear missiles on the U.S. Govt. officials for the U.S such as secretary of state John Kerry say that the most advanced missile the North Koreans have, the UNHA-3 could possibly hit the west coast of the U.S. but in doing so would put the entire international community at risk and tension would rise. If the trajectory of the missile if it is launched is seen as being a threat towards the U.S or U.S territories the U.S would take it down with a ballistic missile by using one of their nine warships that are posted in the pacific. John Kerry also says that the launch would be a huge mistake because it would isolate the country and its people more. It would possibly allow the people to see that maybe their leader isn't so great since he cares about destroying a country he can't even destroy instead of taking care of them and providing them with food.

The articles consist of threats from the North Korean govt. to other nations, such as the U.S. and Japan. Saying how the North Koreans, if they launched attack missiles, they would target the main city of Japan 1st. Or, stating that the North Koreans Testing or launching their missiles is bad idea. Considering that the North Koreans have no Allies and NO support. This has a relation to the Korean War that we recently learned about in class. The War is technically still in action. These Articles have to do with the still constant threats toward other nations from N. Korea. Themes that are present are the threats the militarism of the N. Korean Govt. such as the threats of attacking other Nations and the fact that they’re showing off their military power by shower off their long range missiles and their troops.
Both of my articles are about how North Korea has threatened to bomb the United States. One talked about how it is very unlikely that the missile would even get to the United States. It also stated that if North Korea did make a missile that was predicted to reach the United States, it is “slim to none” that the test fire would actually work. However, it is a threat; so the U.S has satellites stationed so that we would know if anything is shot our way. My second article summarized Senator John Kerry’s recent visit to North Korea. There is a concern with the threat of North Korea claiming that they can attach a bomb to a missile. The article said that North Korea is making progress in warfare technology and so they might actually be able to” pull it off”. Officials think that North Korea has a missile to test, that could potentially reach Japan or Guam and satellites are tracking some signs that the North is prepared to fire a barrage of smaller missiles also. If the U.S feels that we or our allies are in harm’s way, we will use one of our nine warships that are appropriately armed to shoot down the missile. http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/world_news&id=9063172 http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/04/11/us-korea-north-idUSBRE93408020130411
The two articles that i picked are about North Korea and the US. This is a topic that is being talked about a lot recently, how North Korea is threatening the US with nuclear warfare, and how North Korea's Nukes wouldn't be able to reach the US even if they launched one at the United States. North Korea's missiles can not travel more than 7,000 miles, which is 3,000 miles short of the west coast of the US. It appears right now that North Korea is the United States biggest threat because of their recent developments in Nuclear weaponry, and their hatred towards the US, makes US the first place they are likely to nuke.
A new problem has struck; North Korea might be planning on launching a mobile ballistic missile. This missile would be a threat to South Korea, Japan and Southeast Asia. The United States has been an ally to South Korea since the Korean War and with this new plight presently going on, U.S offered its assistance once again. U.S took part in joint military exercises with South Korea and has pledged military backing to Seoul. The U.S is now flying B-2 stealth bombers capable of carrying conventional or nuclear weapons, as well as Cold War-era B-52s and F-22 Raptor stealth fighters over South Korea. Soon John Kerry, the U.S Secretary of State, dispatched an utter warning to North Korea to not test-fire the mid-range missile. Kerry announced that Pyongyang and Kim Jong Un would only augment their isolation and raise tempers if they did launch the missile. Indubitably the launch would be a huge mistake; the people of North Korea already face food shortages and this missile will isolate the people even more. American officials assume that it has a range of some 2,500 miles. In case the missile did go into action, the military would move to shoot it down from one of nine warships armed with refined ballistic missile defense systems in the Pacific, along with two that were carried closer to the Korean peninsula. In any case, U.S has one again offered a helping hand to South Korea. Even though the missile might not even be a threat to U.S lands, we still stepped up and gave out our assistance in protecting them with our military force. Just like the Korean War, North Korea displays itself as an enemy/threat to South Korea.
North Korea has been threatening to drop bombs on the U.S. and other countries. My two articles are about how North Korea is ready to launch the missiles and also they threatened us. They say they will bomb us soon. North Korea has had many practice bomb test. They bombed over 30 different bomb sites. South Korea and U.S. troops are now standing guard watching to see any strange activity happening in the north. Also North Korea says they have bombs ready to launch at us at any times. We have ships and aircrafts ready to attack if they ever decide to attack us. They are about the same size as Utah so if they bomb us we would completely wipe out their whole country. They could hit part of us but not all. Also it says that if they launch their missiles then none of them would hit us.
North Korea keeps threatening and threatening to drop nuclear bomb's in many different places in the world. But many other country's warn it not to as if they do a huge war will start and they arn't favorable to win that war. Even though North Korea claims to have nuclear weapons many people don't believe them and claim they are awhile away from the technology for any nuclear weapon. But if they truly do and really want to attack the United States territory's is one of the most likely to be attacked due to the effects we had in the cold war and Korean war. But if they do decide to attack i feel very confident that we will be able to wipe them out with no problem.
http://www.newsobserver.com/2013/04/22/2842906/obama-to-find-new-foreign-policy.html http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2013/04/19/from_bishkek_to_boston President Barack Obama will have a trip to Mexico on May 2. The new government there looks to reboot a joint effort to combat violent drugs traffickers, worries about piecemeal efforts in the United States to legalize marijuana and hopes to rebuild frayed relations with Cuba. Mexican Foreign secretary Jose Antonio Meade also said the return to power of the industrial Revolutionary Party wouldn’t mean a reversal of his country’s willingness to extradite nationals wanted in the United States. Obama will meet with President Enrique Pena Nieto as analysts looking for signs of change after the new president’s party returned to power from the first time since it was votes out in 2000 after seven decades of control. Pena Nieto charted an immediate change from his predecessor, Felipe Calderon by traveling first to South America after his election last year. He immediately put some distance between Mexican and U.S foreign policy with respect to authoritarian governments in Cuba and Venezuela. Under the institutional Revolutionary Party_ the PRI, in its Spanish initials_ Mexico was the only Latin America country that maintained relations without interruption with the Castro government, which was launched its 1959 revolution from Mexico. Mexico had taped a veteran diplomat, Juan Jose Bremer, to be posted in Havana. He’s the former ambassador to the United States, England, Germany, and the former Soviet Union. “The president has said he does not believe in legalization in the case of Mexico. He has said that repeatedly,” the foreign secretary said. “But he has also identified the need for a multilateral dialogue on the best way to address what is a regional phenomenon and a regional problem” (Hall and Allam). There is one clue to the motivation behind the suspected terrorist act by the Tsarnaev brothers in Boston may lie half a world away, in their membership in the marginalized Chechen minority population that lives in the post-Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan, located in Central Asia just a few hundred mile north of Afghanistan. The fate of Chechens in the late Soviet period lacked the tragedy of earlier decades and centuries. It was an era of relative stability where an official policy of "friendship of the peoples of the USSR" minimized tension between ethnic groups. Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were born and raised in the far more troubled era that followed, when the collapse of the Soviet Union unleashed a new emphasis on nationalism, and ethnic minorities such as the Chechens found themselves uninvited guests in new post-communist states, like Kyrgyzstan, that were trying to reassert a new national identity based in good measure on the core ethnic group, the Kyrgyz. In the 1990s, most of the Russians and other ethnic minorities -- including the Chechens -- left Kyrgyzstan, but a second, and far smaller, wave of wartime Chechen refugees arrived in Kyrgyzstan. These were wounded Chechen rebels who had fought against Russian federal authorities in the First Chechen War 1994-1996. These two events compare to what we are learning in class because we learned about the Soviet Union and also American interaction with foreign countries. They are similar in they both have to do with the Soviet Union. The present theme is that in both of the articles have to do with investigation.
Both of the articles I picked are about American and North Korean Foreign policies as well as how they are different from each other. America's foreign policy let UN (Russia), United States as well as Iranian governments to stop fighting each other for now and speak about sport which also have in common, which was wrestling. 28 year old, American silver medalist in wrestling of the 2012 olympics spoke out to the UN and Iranian governments and told them that although they can beat the crap out of each other they will be and stand together, nobody gets killed or hurt but once there off the wrestling mat and push there problems away they will be friends. USA, Russia and Iran will be united, through this sport these governments have never been together as one but through politics. Even when Iran had nuclear ambition for the Syria crisis , they all came together through wrestling also because President Abraham Lincoln was also a wrestler. Now on the other hand North Korea's policies are different to the US's foreign policies because they argue on re deployment in nuclear weapons in North Korea peninsula but this will temper China, Japan and South Korea into developing their own nuclear weapons, this will create a lot of problems such as being a complex security situation. North Korea is said to be like a small version of Mad region which will play as a game of Atomic chicken which could lead to a domino effect of military nuclearization wold increase the risk of nuclear exchange between countries of opposite beliefs. In conclusion the best foreign policies between countries are the ones that help countries to work with one another and then learn from what they did to keep the world safe and make it a better place than what they believe it is, not like the ones that want to cause even more of a damage and move the domino effect from country to destroy it.
Chuck Hagel, secretary of defense, did not test fire a bomb that was supposed to be sent which could have potentially heightened the problems between North Korea and the United States instead of resolving them. The United States used specific military tactics to prevent North Korea from attacking our country. This is similar to when the United States had to use similar military tactics to keep peace with Cuba in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. North Korea made several empty threats just as Cuba did many years ago. The United States believes that we should not go to war unless it is absolutely needed. The United States decision on holding the bomb here instead of launching it made it seem like we could have been planning to construct other bombs to launch on North Korea which essentially instigated the already bad situation. The United States is predicted to become the world’s top energy producer by 2020. Other countries, such as Saudi Arabia will not be as fortunate and face losses while the United States gains. Saudi Arabia does not want to fall behind so they decided to make a plan to increase oil production rates to remain the world’s top oil producer. On the other hand different leaders in Saudi Arabia say just the opposite. This is similar to an event that took place after World War 2 when American was perspiring and all the other countries were facing dilemmas. The United States had become the most powerful, wealthy country while other countries like North Korea and Germany were suffering from the devastation and debt from the war. Countries like Saudi Arabia and North Korea want to compete with the United States but since they are so small it is likely that they are not capable of such tasks.

There is one clue to the motivation behind the suspected terrorist act by the Tsarnaev brothers in Boston may lie half a world away, in their membership in the marginalized Chechen minority population that lives in the post-Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan, located in Central Asia just a few hundred mile north of Afghanistan. The fate of Chechens in the late Soviet period lacked the tragedy of earlier decades and centuries. It was an era of relative stability where an official policy of "friendship of the peoples of the USSR" minimized tension between ethnic groups. Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were born and raised in the far more troubled era that followed, when the collapse of the Soviet Union unleashed a new emphasis on nationalism, and ethnic minorities such as the Chechens found themselves uninvited guests in new post-communist states, like Kyrgyzstan, that were trying to reassert a new national identity based in good measure on the core ethnic group, the Kyrgyz. In the 1990s, most of the Russians and other ethnic minorities -- including the Chechens -- left Kyrgyzstan, but a second, and far smaller, wave of wartime Chechen refugees arrived in Kyrgyzstan. These were wounded Chechen rebels who had fought against Russian federal authorities in the First Chechen War 1994-1996. These two events compare to what we are learning in class because we learned about the Soviet Union and also American interaction with foreign countries. They are similar in they both have to do with the Soviet Union. The present theme is that in both of the articles have to do with investigation.

Both of the articles I picked are about American and North Korean Foreign policies as well as how they are different from each other. America's foreign policy let UN (Russia), United States as well as Iranian governments to stop fighting each other for now and speak about sport which also have in common, which was wrestling. 28 year old, American silver medalist in wrestling of the 2012 olympics spoke out to the UN and Iranian governments and told them that although they can beat the crap out of each other they will be and stand together, nobody gets killed or hurt but once there off the wrestling mat and push there problems away they will be friends. USA, Russia and Iran will be united, through this sport these governments have never been together as one but through politics. Even when Iran had nuclear ambition for the Syria crisis , they all came together through wrestling also because President Abraham Lincoln was also a wrestler.
Now on the other hand North Korea's policies are different to the US's foreign policies because they argue on re deployment in nuclear weapons in North Korea peninsula but this will temper China, Japan and South Korea into developing their own nuclear weapons, this will create a lot of problems such as being a complex security situation. North Korea is said to be like a small version of Mad region which will play as a game of Atomic chicken which could lead to a domino effect of military nuclearization wold increase the risk of nuclear exchange between countries of opposite beliefs. In conclusion the best foreign policies between countries are the ones that help countries to work with one another and then learn from what they did to keep the world safe and make it a better place than what they believe it is, not like the ones that want to cause even more of a damage and move the domino effect from country to destroy it.

Chuck Hagel, secretary of defense, did not test fire a bomb that was supposed to be sent which could have potentially heightened the problems between North Korea and the United States instead of resolving them. The United States used specific military tactics to prevent North Korea from attacking our country. This is similar to when the United States had to use similar military tactics to keep peace with Cuba in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. North Korea made several empty threats just as Cuba did many years ago. The United States believes that we should not go to war unless it is absolutely needed. The United States decision on holding the bomb here instead of launching it made it seem like we could have been planning to construct other bombs to launch on North Korea which essentially instigated the already bad situation. The United States is predicted to become the world’s top energy producer by 2020. Other countries, such as Saudi Arabia will not be as fortunate and face losses while the United States gains. Saudi Arabia does not want to fall behind so they decided to make a plan to increase oil production rates to remain the world’s top oil producer. On the other hand different leaders in Saudi Arabia say just the opposite. This is similar to an event that took place after World War 2 when American was perspiring and all the other countries were facing dilemmas. The United States had become the most powerful, wealthy country while other countries like North Korea and Germany were suffering from the devastation and debt from the war. Countries like Saudi Arabia and North Korea want to compete with the United States but since they are so small it is likely that they are not capable of such tasks.
