North Korea: A Nuclear Player

The days of a non-nuclear Korean peninsula are over. With troops from the United States bogged down in Iraq and ineffective multilateral talks with North Korea, the world is on track for other major disaster.

So, what can be done to confront this nuclear threat?

News North Korea

The current situation can not be addressed by the United States alone. It is my fear that the Republican majority in all branches of U.S. Government will continue with the typical and ineffective go-it-alone strategy that has not won us the key preserve needed in safe our international interests. The international community is the only body capable of effectively handling the North Korean situation which has now developed into a global problem.

Global issues need to be met by the global community. This does not mean that the United States can not lead the way. Obviously, there will always be the need for someone to take the initiative, but it has to be done in a way that does not separate us from the other global players and delay effective resolution.

First, in a global economy, it is essential for voters in the upcoming selection to cast their votes to bring a more Democratic balance into the make-up of our current govenment. Democrats would be more effective in diplomacy and can speak the international tongue. Either you agree with their policies and beliefs or not, they are more likely to restore trust and a sense of humanity to our foreign agenda.

Second, if the international community is the channel of tough sanctions, China is the key. The country of China is an emerging dominate player in the Asian region and is also responsible for trade that equates to practically 50% of North Korea's power and food imports. If China does not accept its new international role in a responsible fashion, then the world will continue in its struggle to suppress renegade dictatorships.

Finally, North Korea has already been warned in their efforts to make nuclear capabilities, but apparently decided not to listen. I believe we should levy the toughest of sanctions and work with our allies to allow for gigantic refugee communication out of North Korea. At this point, deadlines should be drawn up for an international force to work together in removing this dictator from power if president Kim Jong-il does not comply and agree to dismantle his nuclear program.

If you do not believe that a explication similar to the one I have just discussed then I would invite you to focus more on the consequences of not taking action. Iran is watching world events very determined right now. If they seek weak international rule and come away from this scenario with the closing that North Korea has in fact strengthened its global position, then what is to stop them from developing nuclear weapons? Iran would probably target Israel and North Korea would likely make a hit on South Korea.

In regards to a possible North Korean assault on South Korea, we already know that secret tunnels have been discovered to be dug deep into South Korean territory. The scary thing to note is that millions of habitancy live in the capital of Seoul, South Korea, which is not very from the border with the north. If it is already assumed that some tunnels have not yet been discovered, what is to stop North Korea from detonating a nuclear weapon right under the heels of a major South Korean city such as Seoul? This would cause millions of habitancy to suffer a horrific death. other possibility to ponder is North Korea's ability to transport weapons of mass destruction to our enemies Either it is Al Qaeda, Iran, Syria, etc.

Right now, the United States needs to continue its focus on immediate performance in line with the international community, while at the same time researching inhibitive technologies that could develop our defenses within our own national borders. We have been warned, not the next examine is Either or not we have what it takes to lead the international community and finally get something right.
