The Plague Of North Korea
Scared. Humiliated. Desperate. Impulsive. Dangerous. All of these describe the situation that plagues North Korea today as it continues to suffer from a decades old Communist regime. Their leader, Kim Jong-un, stands alone against a host of condemning accusations from Western nations and the United Nations. His government consists entirely of backwards people-pleasers who keep North Korea in the dark from ever developing into any sort of modern nation. The people are starving to death, arrested for the slightest hint of unloyalty, and killed mercilessly. The nation, which split so long ago from South Korea, is in turmoil, and the danger it poses on the rest of the world is cause for alarm. The issue is solving the North Korean problem, as its
government is unwilling or unable to compromise. Their pride and deep seated hatred towards the West promises that they won’t go down without a fight. The nations against North Korean are presented with two basic options to solve the problem: fight or negotiate. With the way the government has been responding, negotiation seems to be a possibility that was tossed out the window long ago. Therefore, the West may be forced to wage a just war in order to restore peace and justice to the world. The tension between North and South Korea extends all the way back to the 1950s. After World War II, the Soviet-backed Communist party in Korea rose up and took power, led by Kim Il-sung. The nation was proclaimed the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. In 1950, South Korea declared independence and the Korean War began once the North invaded the South. Western nations soon got involved after that on behalf of the South, believing that they could not make the same mistake of letting a dictator invade unchecked, and the Soviet Union and Communist controlled China supported the North. After several unsuccessful invasions by both sides, the war ended with an uneasy stalemate and the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement. Boundaries between the two independent nations were established and a Demilitarized Zone was set up. In the end, there was little territorial change.
