Skyler Tepedino - Nuclear Weapons

Summary:

 North Korean monitoring service 38 North said Wednesday the country's Punggye-ri nuclear site is "primed and ready" for a sixth nuclear test. "The activity during the past six weeks is suggestive of the final preparations for a test," 38 North analyst Joseph Bermudez told CNN. Their prediction comes as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Thursday that North Korea may have the capability to deliver missiles equipped with sarin nerve gas. He and other analysts pore over commercial satellite imagery of the testing site, looking for signs of activity similar to that prior to other tests. Speaking at an event in Tokyo Thursday, Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said "North Korea's nuclear program is showing steady progress."

Analysis:

 This article was published by Madison Park from CNN on April 13, 2017. She uses a third person point of view to convey an unbiased point of view. Additionally, I had absolutely no preview knowledge of this topic, so this article made me realize how important our foreign affairs are with other countries. This article was written for any citizen of the United States as a warning of what might come. It was published for an informative purpose of enabling the people to learn more about how important our relations are. This entire article could link directly to the Cold War where there was an increased amount of tension between the United States and the USSR. An arms race occurred to build the strongest nuclear weapons such as North Korea is now.
