North Korea's nuclear weapons

conclusion

We must make a deal with North Korea that will confirm safety for all american people.

The sanctions put on North Korea aren't currently working, so we must figure out a better way.

Some solutions might be unification of Korea, arms control and reduction, and economic interaction.

We have already started to make the first steps, like the June 12, 2018 summit at Singapore.

One of the necessary steps is a better inspection regime

North Korea, despite making advances in their nuclear program, is no match for the U.S

More efforts are currently being made to analyze the North Korea nuclear program.

There are a few things that will help us achieve stability in the East; Competitive management, unipolar management, and international norms and institutions.

The next non-proliferation deal needs to be more specific.

There will be no quick resolution to this, but we are currently making small strides, and we will hopefully be able to avoid war with more help.

North Korea weapon history

In October of 2002, the Bush administration revealed that North Korea was using a secret nuclear weapons program, which violated an agreement they made with the U.S in 1994.

They developed WMDs even after signing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1985.

In April of 2003, North Korea declared that it had nuclear weapons.

In July 2006, North Korea conducted it's first long-range missile test.

On February 12, 2013, North Korea launched it's third nuclear test, and it was the first to be directed by Kim Jong Un.

Nk was estimated to have an armed forces count of 1,000,000 in 2016.

International sanctions banned exports to North Korea after their 4th test

NK's nuclear warhead count was estimated to be 10 or 20 in 2018.

By 2017, there were 12 flights that were publicly released as shot down.

This problem has lasted for 3 presidential campaigns.

by the end of 2017, North Korea's arsenal grew to 30.

On October 22, 2005, a British airline was shot down by NK.

There have been 5 nuclear tests in Pyongyang.

North Korea conducted it's second nuclear test on May 25, 2009.

The tests of new weapons in Nk has averaged as once every 2 years.

After Sep. 9, 2016, NK achieved smaller and lighter warheads.

What countries other than America think about this situation.

South Korea's national security chief Chung Eui-yong said on March 6, 2018 that North Korea has agreed to refrain from nuclear and missile testing while engaging in peace talks.

North Korean ministers have been refusing to meet the demands of the U.S

After the 5th nuclear test, Ex-President Lee wanted to give NK a show of strength, but the other officials talked him out of it.

North Korea's Nuclear tests reveal Kim Jong Un’s growing desperation, said Woo Jung-yeop, a North Korea expert at the Sejong Institute in South Korea.

South Korea went silent for a while after the 4th test.

South Korea made has made plans to retaliate because of the 5th test.

They have also been using their missiles as leverage for the U.S and South Korea.

North Korea has been using the tests as showing the world they should not be trifled with.

"After that test, the South Korean news media, quoting government sources, said that North Korea appeared to have tested multiple-rocket launchers, not missiles."

What American officials think about North Korea

on January 29, 2002, George W. Bush labeled North Korea as an "axis of evil" in the State of the Union Address.

Mark T. Esper, The American secretary of defense, said that the Pentagon was not going to “overreact” to the latest North Korean test.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo encouraged Trump to reject North Korea's terms.

After the sixth North Korea missile test, Trump tweeted "North Korea continues to be very hostile and dangerous to the United States."

One official described NK's tests as "relentless."

Trump has ordered the preparation of 3 bunkers in case NK launches bombs.

Politicians that were opposed to President Bush argued that he didn't do anything against NK.

"In June 2018, Trump proposed a deal to Kim Jong Un:North Korea would get rid of its entire nuclear weapons arsenal, as well as the material and facilities needed to build and test the weapons, in exchange for an end to the American-led sanctions."

In a CNN interview on January 8, 2017, Ash Carter, the Defense Secretary, said that they would shoot down any North Korean missiles.

Introduction

North Korea has been the target of new non-nuclear proliferation laws for 2 decades.

The non-proliferation laws that used to keep North Korea in check are starting to fail.

North Korea has almost enough warheads to alter the security and international politics of NE Asia, which may result in more nuclear proliferation.

North Korea is dangerous because they make the unification of North Korea and South Korea impossible, but also make the separation of the 2 more dangerous.
