Once again, North Korea might be planning another attack in October. While this might not be a surprise to some, this is always important to watch. I simply chose the article because I love learning about foreign affairs especially in Asia. I really like learning about North Korea because they are so mysterious and interesting. The world does know a lot about North Korea but there is still so much to learn. They are completely shut off from the rest of the world which I find really interesting. North Korea also has insane laws which are always interesting to learn about.

One of the most interesting things I find about North Korea is their views of the US. The people of the US do not know that someone has landed on the moon because Armstrong was American. They see America as the problem of why their country split up. In propaganda videos, they are always bashing the United States. In a documentary I saw, a mother was singing a song to her young child on the way to school about how bad America is and how they were going to bomb the U.S. 

Addressing issues with North Korea is next to impossible. They are very close minded with their views so talking with a country like them would be difficult. Talking with them when you are the United States would be very hard because they view us as the root of all evil- John Kerry would not have fun talking to them. Personally if I was president, I would wait to see if they actually do something. North Korea always test nuclear weapons around US elections or any US holiday/event. For years and years, they have said that they are planning something and have yet to do something. Also, if  the US started a war with North Korea that would end badly for South Korea since they are our allies and share a border with North Korea. Faith helps me with my answer because God teaches me everyday to start conflicts with others and try to live in harmony. He has taught me that everyone has differing opinions but it is important that we accept their opinions.

North Korea is just going to keep on talking and making threats. Even when they try do do anything, their military technology is so out of date that it's not even significant when they launch missiles. They're military force, or what they call a military, is comical. They have no idea what we are capable of.
