The only thing that’s been overshadowing Trump in the news is North Korea. If you been thinking what’s happening in this nation then you have come to right place.
Short intro to our story.
It all started when Japan colonized Korea in 1910, after Japan’s surrender in 1945 North Korea was occupied by USSR till 1950 and after that North invaded the South. South Korea got support from US, then China supported the North. Finally the war ended in 1953 with an agreement for complete cessation of hostilities and thus creating the DMZ(Demilitarized Zone) which is the border separating the North from the South. DMZ is considered as the highly militarized zone in the earth.(well done japan)
Still North Korea gets support from China while the South gets it’s support from US.
So, why do they test ballistic missiles?
You see, North got it’s Nuclear technology from USSR which also safeguarded it from the US backed South Korea. But when USSR collapsed the North thought that their only way of survival and not to have an invasion from US or the South is to build it’s own missiles and they have been doing it for a long time.
They got the knowledge of Nuclear technology from their ally at the time USSR who helped them to initiate their nuclear program.
Now let’s get into what’s happening now.
The North Koreans have already successfully conducted short and mid range ballistic missile which could easily be launched at it’s enemy cities such as Seoul and Tokyo. But it won’t attack cause if they do they’ll face fire and fury from US and why is US protecting the South Korea and Japan, cause they made treaties with US which simply states that if the South Korea and Japan doesn’t build a Nuclear weapon then US will safeguard them from their enemies(NK) in the times of war.
The protection from US is also the main reason why the North is trying so hard in building it’s own ICBM(Inter Continental Ballistic Missile) which has the capability to strike US and they have successfully conducted ICBM test last month when US was celebrating it’s Independence day. Still the North doesn’t have the technology to place a Nuclear Bomb into ICBM, it’s well on it’s way.
As I was writing this article the North Korea have successfully conducted it’s sixth successful Hydrogen bomb and the tensions are escalating. But what this prompts for Japan and South Korea is to consider building their own Nuclear missile which makes way for Nuclear Proliferation and arms race in Asia. The world doesn’t need another Nuclear disaster but don’t worry this probably won’t happen.
The most possible outcome is that US, South Korea and may be China will invade the North Korea and end Kim’s regime.
Hey wait, did I mention what China is doing amidst this tension.
With XI as it’s supreme leader, China is the powerful nation in the world and the only last remaining ally of North Korea. But the reason China supports this rogue nation is only because it doesn’t want US intervention in it’s border. China needs to maintain it’s powerful status in Asia and US is not helping their cause by conducting military exercises in it’s turf. China can destabilize North Korea by stopping all the economic trades with it but can’t do as it only will cause refugees from the North entering into China and China doesn’t want that.
After Kim jong un, present leader of North Korea came into power their relations with china seems to be cracked a bit and China is now imposing heavy economic sanctions on North Korea. We can wait and see how their relations turns out to be and How the end of the Kim’s regime will be.
The real sufferers,
Thank the god that we are not born in North Korea. Their people may never get see my article cause internet is restricted in their region. Economy of North is poor and most of their people are suffering from food shortage and famine but still worshiping their supreme leader as their god. The media of North Korea is been controlled by their government and they publish what the government need their people to know. The people in North Korea are constantly fed with lies by their government and they have no other way but to believe it.
The People of North Korea are suffering greatly by the actions of their government and they will continue to suffer. The hard truth is that their people doesn’t know they are suffering and think that they are being saved by their government from the constant attacks of their enemies.
It seems to me that the situation presenting in the North Korea could end very quickly and it would be very bad for their people.
The end.
I hope that Kim jong un will come into his sense and stop this nonsense. But as I’ve been following this news for some time, I think the situation is only gonna escalate and the end is very near.
Opinions I’ve expressed in this articles are mine and responses are welcomed.
