When reading this article the concern was that B.C. would get hit on accident because North Korea was trying to fire a missile. When North Korea did fire the short missiles the international tensions started rising. The general of North Korea recently threat North America with missile attacks and on March 15 the U.S responded with plans to beef up its anti-missile attacks. The secretary of defense stated that “14 anti-missile interceptors will be placed in Greely, Alaska and will cost 1 billion dollars”. Everyone thinks this is necessary so when North Korea decides to attack we will be ready. Recently North Korea launched their 3rd nuclear test and launched a satellite-carrying missile with long-range potential. Even though the threats are scary as of this point they realize that North Korea doesn’t have the technology nor knowledge to build a missile that will reach North America. A professor at SFU said “threatening to attack North America is absurd; they would really have to be crazy to attack America, the world’s most powerful armed nuclear state. In looking at this news article I don’t exactly like what this article says. It starts out with concerns about B.C. It is overlooking what the big issue is. North Korea is trying to attack us and they are trying to start an unnecessary war. They have been “showing their power” for the past couple of months. Since North Korea has a young leader it’s like he is showing his power to the military and to his people. He is doing it the wrong way though he is people in harm’s way. The United Nations is going against him and he is trying to hurt us and South Korea. With following this story for the past couple of blogs I can tell he definitely wants that power and prestige and he is trying to cause a war that shouldn’t even exist or people shouldn’t even be worrying about. The United States isn’t worrying about it and they are doing the right thing by taking precautions but we shouldn’t have to and we shouldn’t be threatened. Like a professor at SFU said “anyone who would want to attack us has to be crazy because America is the world’s most powerful armed nuclear state.” It’s nice to know that our country is protecting us and trying to keep us safe and even taking precautions even if they are just precautions. It shows that they care about their people and North Korea maybe showing his power to his military people but he is looking like an idiot to everyone else and he is putting his people in harms way.
