Nuclear Testing In North Korea

Decent Essays
Have you ever thought of how scary nuclear testing in North Korea could be very scary? To you, nuclear testing may be no big deal. But, to others in our country it is very nerve racking for everyone. You never know where the bombs may end up. They could even be planning a secret attack on someone and nobody will know.
In 2006, 2009, 2013 they tested atomic bombs every one of those years in North Korea. Nuclear bombs can be very powerful and even deadly to many. In 1961 it remained the most powerful man made explosion in history. They may think it’s a good idea to test to see if they work for future attacks but there aren’t any attacks happening sos there’s no point. Plus, using those bombs in the middle of a country could wipe out millions

    Though still after seeing all that destruction and death, people decide to continue to use and test nuclear weapons. This is because nuclear weapons have power and that is what people and nations want power. So, as technology progresses and even more weapons are made, then nuclear weapons will also become more advanced, and people will start using them again and again causing the death of people who have nothing to do with their problems. Nuclear weapons should not be used though, because of all the destruction and terror that they cause. Also the fact that they not only affect the other country or nation you are attacking but they also affect neighboring nations.…

    Document #5 highlights this showing the U.S and the USSR in the lead of how many Nuclear tests each performed from 1945-2016 with the U.S at 1,030 and the USSR at 715. Based on these statistics we can infer that the nuclear tests were not only to assess the power of the weapon, but threaten other nations, much like the U.S sending a rocket the moon. These specific threats were really emphasizing and showing that unspoken tension between the two nations during the cold war. Nuclear tests due to this event now have a new meaning in the world's eyes and ultimately that increases the likelihood of conflict between nations. North Korea for example has had Nuclear tests in both 2016 and now 2017 as of late according to document #5, and because of the cold war this seems like a threat.…

    In his article for the Associated Press, Eric Talmadge focuses on an educated analysis regarding the goals and desires of the North Korean regime by underlining their need to stay in power and obtain the respect of the world leaders. It’s Talmadge’s view that North Korea will never willingly abandon their goal of nuclear weapons because the ruling cadre sees it as the only path to survival and recognition. The premise is that North Korea is willing to risk the ire of their lone ally, China, the anger of the United Nations, and the very lives of their population in order to maintain their control over the country. Using the recent detonation of a nuclear device, Talmadge outlines how North Korea is demonstrating their abilities to the world…

    The suggestion was not logical due to it would be taken a trickery, and giving Japan previous notice. Such demonstration of power would be much worse than if the attempt had not been made. Now it was clear for everyone that when the time came to use the bombs they would have only one of them available and that they could not afford for something to go wrong. Also, giving the Japanese notice of an attack it would only lead to the Japanese to be ready for it. At the same time this demonstration was not guaranty to bring the end to the war and by demonstrating the power of the bomb it would take away the initial shock value of the attack and making the end results of Japan surrendering…

    While the United States and the Soviet Union were already in Korea, the United Nations should not have let them attempt to create the government there. The United States and the Soviet Union may have agreed to peacefully set up the government, however the United Nations should have been able to sense that there would still be problems. The United States and the Soviet Union have clashing ideologies and governments. The Soviet Union has a communist government and the United States has a democracy. How can you expect countries with such different governments to find a middle ground and establish a government for another country?…

    I thought the article Bill Perry is Terrified, Why Aren’t You?, written by Politico Magazine, was very interesting. I find the topic of war and the effects it can have on human civilization interesting. And, the fact, that Bill Perry is able to in some way recognize the signs of a nuclear bombing happening in the future is interesting, yet shocking. Perry has a background that not many people can relate to, “His life’s work, most of it highly classified, was nuclear weapons—how to maximize the fearsome deterrent power of the U.S. arsenal, how to minimize the possibility that the old Soviet arsenal would obliterate the United States and much of the planet along the way.” Because Perry dealt with so many types of nuclear weapons and so many scenarios…

    Some Actions are taking place today with Nuclear threats between the U.S. and North Korea. As Ms. Hanham said in an interview from Monterey California, “The frustration I have is borne out of how casually we've started to talk about [nuclear weapons] as tools”. This is a complete different time and due to advancements, people realize bombings are effective but it has been used to fright others since it’s such a powerful resource, if it’s ever needed. However, a terrible threat toward another country should be taken seriously. It was risky to use a bomb like this if other countries had something similar it could have made thing worse but this risk was beneficial and saved the war from an unknowing future, which would have most likely been…

    “President Kennedy pledged not to resume testing in the air and promised to pursue all diplomatic efforts for a test ban treaty before resuming underground testing. He envisioned the test ban as a first step to nuclear disarmament.” Kennedy did whatever it took to stale nuclear destruction thus making him resort to alternative forces such as by constraining the testing of at nuclear weapons. Not to mention it accomplished Kennedy's goal to draw in the Soviet Union in agreements and diminish Cold War strains. I feel like this will help a ton in America's case since it will make a steady understanding between the united states and North Korea to stop nuclear testing and on the off chance that they consent to the arrangement they will feel obliged to stay faithful to their commitment thus guaranteeing…

    Nuclear weapons are massive explosive weapons that release their energy and destructive force through nuclear reactions – either fission or a combination of fission and fusion. A single nuclear weapon can devastate an entire city with blast, fire and radiation, making the weapon indiscriminate and unacceptable. In 1945 the United States used nuclear weapons on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as one of the final acts of World War II. A number of states have since tested nuclear weapons and currently stockpile the weapon.…

    According to a new report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), nine nations — the United States, Russia, United Kingdom, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea — possess approximately 16,300 nuclear weapons in total (Macias). If we were to get into a war with any of those nations and each has nuclear bombs we would destroy this earth just like what happened in the book The Testing. We as a society are very close to ending up with our world in pieces and destroyed because if one country gets offended or if somebody gets murdered and the wrong country gets accused of killing them we would be in WW3 in the blink of an…

    North Korea can be seen as a child. They have a small nuclear stockpile, and are trying to show its power by testing missiles, then making claims of having powerful weapons, and suddenly, when North Korea doesn’t get their way, Kim Jong-un starts making threats of nuclear war. Now is the time for the United Nations to step in and do something. Korea was originally a part of the Japanese Empire. In November 1943, Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Chiang Kai-shek met at the Cairo Conference to discuss what should happen to Japan’s colonies, and agreed that Japan should lose all territories it had conquered by force.…

    Ever since the atom bomb was dropped scientist have been exploring different ways to make different forms of bombs like this such as the bunker buster or the carpet bomb, both which have extremely large killing power and a ridiculously large blast radius. The atom bomb worked by creating a nuclear chain reaction which releases a huge amount of killer energy. One of these bombs is said to be a billion times stronger than TNT which seems absolutely insane. These bombs, including the hydrogen bomb are considered to be the most powerful weapons in the whole world since they were created. Bombs like these can destroy whole cities or more, but luckily only two have been detonated in history.…
