North Korea Nuclear Program Against United States and South Korea

          Indeed nuclear weapon is a weapon that is not meant to be used by a well honorable country. It does because these weapons can destroy the military balance and the life cycle of this world. We do not want to live underground, no one wanted for it. But North Korea said different with its nuclear program. Actually, if viewed from the intent and the purpose of raising nuclear weapon program, North Korea have oriented to the power that will certainly cause damages by its nuclear test. As proclaimed in the New York Times, "North Korea had no interest in talks on denuclearizing itself and would forge ahead with its missile and weapons development, with the goal of attaining the capability to hit American territory", North Korea intent to the expansion to America territory. With its destruction possibility, its meant that nuclear program need to be stopped or monitored thoroughly.

          In the CNN Headline News, titled "After threats against the U.S., North Korea turns ire to South", South Korea is actively involved in the termination of the nuclear program. "North Korea on Friday warned of the possibility of strong physical counter-measures against South Korea after the United Nations imposed sanctions against the North Tougher Earlier this week." North Korea intends to respond to the physical and weapons invasion to South Korea if they intervene in the termination of the program. This indicates that North Korea has a strong will to create a nuclear program proved they dare to oppose the two countries known as a strong state. This indicated that we should be aware of the possibilities that possibly arise in the future.

          For the United States, a new threat over North Korea could distract American focus on superior threat Iran over its disputed nuclear program, which having contradictory by the Iranians which said it is peaceful but West suspects it as growing threat in order to develop nuclear weapons. North Korea could be the second warning that must be focused.

          Not only direct warnings given, as stated in Yahoo News, South Korean defense ministry officials said this week that they believe the North could follow through with its threat to detonate a nuclear explosive at any time, and U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said that even if there are no signs that a test is forthcoming, "They have the capability, frankly, to conduct these tests in a way that make it very difficult to Determine Whether or not they are doing it,." This indicates that the threat level of North Korea has become yellow. Yet, if we look from the experiences and relations of North Korea with other countries, it is could be said as a certain that North Korea is having too weak foundation. In addition, their past nuclear tests have been conducted to give the appearance of performance, and they have never exploded an actual nuclear warhead design, According to RAND analyst Mark Schiller.

          In the case of the nuclear weapons program, North Korea does not have any affiliation with any other countries so we can said if North Korea launches a nuclear attack to a country, it is a suicide because North Korea does not have supports, and it is certain that North Korea will fail and defeated against United Nation. Therefore we can conclude that we should not be afraid of the nuclear threat, it's just that we need to be vigilant and keep having monitor on the activities conducted by North Korea so if there is one thing that is not desired, then we have prepared and ready to face the invasion. But all of it may be changes, if North Korea getting on deals with Iran in their Nuclear Program.
