summary- As north Korea rattles its nuclear saber, threatening to bomb the us at "any moment" a nerve-jangling question hangs in the air: of Pongyang did launch a nuclear armed missile at an american city, could the pentagons missile defenses overcome their spotty test record and shoot it down beyond US shores? America has never faced such a real life crisis, and although officials say they are confident the defenses would work as advertised the pentagon acknowledges potential gaps that North Korea or others may be able to exploit, someday if not immanently.
Analysis- This is definitely not the first time that North Korea has threatened us with nuclear warfare. And being that the US is 20 years ahead in technology, there is no way that they would be able to put up a fight against us, we have the ability to take down what they try and bring before it reaches the US. North Korea is trying to show us that they have good technology and that they want to start Nuclear Warfare with us but I don't believe that these threats will go far as war.

this is reminiscent of the Cuban Missile crisis, although I wonder if North Korea will actually deliver on their threats...
ReplyDeleteLow key scary and definitely connect with the Cuban missile crisis. I know that if they did launch a nuclear attack on the U.S. it would definitely be WWIII
