North Korea leans toward nuclear war with US and South Korea by Julian Nowlin

You have most likely heard about Kim Jong Un and his ballistic missile program in the isolated country of North Korea. If you’re like me, then you expect nuclear war every day. But if you’re not like me, this likely doomsday scenario is not far from happening. 

The United States has been aiding South Korea and practicing war games there, as the Asian country is one of their closest allies. Lots of times Kim Jong Un has threatened war when the US practiced war games. His reasoning “for frequent and committed actions” Kim says are “dangerous” or “provoking.” 

He also said this about his military and ballistic missile program that scared me a lot: “... the munitions of industry, nuclear weapons and civil defense sectors to further accelerate the war preparations… due to anti DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) confrontation moves of the U.S. and its vassal forces unprecedented in history.” 

That means that he will be pushing his forces and nuclear program to up their game so they can match the United States and South Korea. 

North Korea will also send spy satellites up to space this year much to the alarm of the United States and South Korea. 


No matter what, the citizens of South Korea and the United States will be well-informed if North Korea acts with nuclear intentions. The citizens of North Korea, however, will likely be fed continued propaganda from its government, and thus be kept largely in the dark about the realities of any international situation.
