The United States cannot remain silent on North Korea's current policies

Number 1: Threats and Nuclear Weapons My first contention is that North Korea"s nuclear weapons may not exist or be powerful enough to pose as a threat. There has been no concrete report of North Korea"s nuclear ties with Iran and the U. N. Security Council and the U. S. " Proliferation Security Initiative have restricted weapon transport in and out of North Korea. Vienna University even stated that North Korea has moved from weapon transports to selling raw minerals. Slate. com stated that North Korea could probably build a very limited amount of nuclear weapons using plutonium. Research on North Korea"s underground tests in 2006 and 2009 said that these bombs do not have enough explosive power to pose as a threat to other countries. CBSNews believes that North Korea does not even have the technology to build long-range missiles. The failed missile launch that could "potentially" spin a satellite in orbit is proof of North Korea"s inaccurate "military superiority" over other countries. Meanwhile in South Korea, CNN states that South Korea announced it has developed new kinds of missiles that could strike the North. Nuclear weapons in North Korea cannot even be verified by South Korean officials concerning the recent claims about North Korea. All allegations about North Korea have a large probability of ending up as a fictional, made-up, hollow threat made up by the media to give the people a bad perspective of North Korea. South Korean officials even stated that "There is no such thing as a North Korea expert. " Number 2: Citizen"s Life My second contention is that North Korean residents enjoy life in DPRK evidence of this is that they show high loyalty to their leader (Kim Jong UN). North Korea should be left alone because its residents are safe and content. Jae-young (North Korean Resident) said that "Although media and news only show negative aspects to life in North Korea, there are actually positive and good aspects about life in the Democratic People"s Republic of Korea. " North Korea has an amazing natural environment making a resident"s life much more enjoyable. Jae-Young said that "Benefits that common people get in North Korea include free health care and education, unlike in South Korea. Operations, checkups and medicines were free as well. " Thanks to the free education, the CIA believes that North Korea"s literacy rate is equal to that of United State"s 99%. The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nation ranked North Korea as one of the largest producers of healthy and fresh foods in the world. With about 1,400 different species of animals and about 12,000 species of plants along with a majority of rainfall as its climate, North Koreans should have no problem prospering in this fruity, fresh land. A reason to believe this is the average life expectancy of North Koreans is about 64 years old. Since there has been no formal peace treaty with South Korea, North Korea"s continuing technical war made them focus on the defense of its North Korean residents. This is why the North Korean Government decided to spend the $14.5 million given to them by the European Commission for the defense of North Koreans. Number 3: Leader (Kim Jung Un/ Il) My third contention is that Kim Jong-Il was a great leader for North Korea because he advanced his country"s technology to even surpass South Korea in 2003. He gave North Koreans a sense of hope that their hardships and poverty would end. He convinced his people to have faith in the government and abolished disloyal rebels to keep the prosperity and security of North Koreans. He sought for advancement and growth, which is why he educated his son with his foresight and good judgment to make certain that North Korea and its citizens would not only live on, but to improve. His diplomatic ways assured success for his country by depending on foreign aid and increased the safety of the citizens and his legacy. His honest and sincere actions only wanted success for his country"s future generations, but his concern for the general public was seen as corrupt and hasty and he was loathed by other countries and the media. Because they disliked his procedures, the media gave everyone a biased point of view about North Korea.
