From what I read the United States don’t get to decide who gets nuclear weapons and how many, if North Korea is allowed sovereignty then they would get to decide their nuclear weapons and how and when to use them.

I think it’s scary the fact that North Korea has a nuclear weapon so strong that could reach almost the whole worl, that is one of the reasons why I don’t think they should be allowed to have so much power. Another thing is that the way North Korea is govern is mean and does not have justice because they put in jail the whole family if one of the memebers of the family opposes the government and they don’t allow freedom.]]> 2018-01-25 18:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyarritola/Northkoreap5/wish/224790958 What weapons do they have/ what have they tried? What threats have they made? emilyarritola https://padlet.com/emilyarritola/Northkoreap5/wish/224791170 In recent years, the North has warned of a pre-emptive nuclear attack on the US in response to the prospect of joint military exercises between South Korea and the US.

The Hwasong-15, North Korea's furthest-reaching intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), could theoretically travel about 13,000km. This potentially puts the whole world within range, except for:

  • Latin America

  • Antartica

This theoretical range was estimated based on the Hwasong-15 performance in a test-launch on November 29, when it flew for about 53 minutes before landing in the sea

On September 15, North Korea's also tested its mid-range Hwasong-12 missile which travelled about 3,700km over Japan, and has a range potential of 4,000km, which includes Guam, a US territory in the Pacific Ocean.

Truman announces that he is ordering U.S. air and naval forces to South Korea to aid the democratic nation in repulsing an invasion by communist North Korea. The United States was undertaking the major military operation, he explained, to enforce a United Nations resolution calling for an end to hostilities, and to stem the spread of communism in Asia.]]> 2018-01-25 18:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyarritola/Northkoreap5/wish/224791752 Description of the tactics used by the government to enforce laws emilyarritola https://padlet.com/emilyarritola/Northkoreap5/wish/224792039 The North Korean government systematically denies basic freedoms in the country and uses detention in labor prison camps to ensure fear of opposing the government.

The North Korean government continues to practice collective punishment, sending not only an offender but also three generations of his family to political prison camps, known as kwan-li-so. These camps are notorious for horrific living conditions and abuse, including induced starvation, lack of medical care, proper shelter and clothes, torture and abuse by guards, and continuous forced labor in highly dangerous conditions.

The government is committed to providing necessities to every person, but the ruling elite enjoys a more prosperous life than the general population. They are entitled to privileges such as quality housing, access to select shops with quality imported goods, and foreign travel.

Until the famine of 1995, North Korea's education, health-care, and nutrition systems were thought to operate efficiently. Education is free and compulsory to age 15, which may explain the 99 percent literacy rate. A kindergarten system is available to all children. Higher education is serviced by over 200 institutions, which specialize in science and technology.

Health care is free in North Korea. The health system provides a large number of hospitals and clinics staffed by skilled professionals.

Kim Il-sung effectively founded North Korea in 1948 and his family dynasty has ruled the country ever since, with control passing from father to son
