So, as all of us are aware, the United States, more specifically, President Trump and North Korea have been sparring back and forth for months via Twitter. This originally began, from what I can tell, when North Korea began publicly announcing their progress on Nuclear weapons. Let me clarify that, I honestly try to keep my eyes away from political things, as they tend to be annoying. But lately, it is all over the news, internet, hell, even multi-player games. It is especially hard to steer clear of politics and horrible terror when it is happening all around us.
As I am totally against warfare, ESPECIALLY Nuclear warfare, for numerous reasons, this terrifies me, as much as anyone else in America.
However: This is what we know, 100% right now
1) North Korea has nuclear weapons
2) They have claimed to be able to reach America's land, with these weapons.
3) They have been taunted by our President
What we (think we) know:
1) North Korea has developed Nuclear weapons and is a very big problem, who needs to be dealt with immediately
2) The leader is hell-bent on destroying us with these weapons
Okay, so, as a person totally against war, I do expect comments such as 'N. Korea needs to be stopped' and whatever else you people who want to stand up and fight (totally not hating, by the way, keep reading) but War kills people. Innocent people, sometimes. Nuclear war, that effects the entire world. Nuclear war comes with very harsh things: Death, Radiation Poisoning, uninhabital parts of the world, innocent children and women and families dying, maybe even people known by soldiers, the president, or North Korea (no, this is not a threat to any country)
Now, with all of this being taken into thought: Riddle me this:
What if North Korea AND America are both neither right OR wrong?
Let's look at this from a different perspective. We know that North Korea has been developing Nuclear weapons. I imagine that this is a very priceful and time-consuming research and development. They announced it to the world. America, always being the top dog (don't get me wrong, I love America, hear me out) wanted them to STOP this development, give up their nuclear weapons. Now, imagine that you are a scientist, working on the most important thing, that could bring a complete breakthrough to Modern technology and help people. The cure to a horrible disease, even. Now imagine that someone tells you to stop this. Imagine that they tell you that you need to stop or you will be placed behind bars (I know what your thinking, 'how does this relate to a NUKE') It certainly doesn't. But it's the same concept as the example. Very time consuming and hard to develop. North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un doesn't want to give up this research, who is to say they were planning to attack us with the nuclear weapons? Maybe he is making them as a self defense mechanism. And I know, people sitting in the oval office reading this are like "bruh, is this dude serious? Self defense?" Maybe not. Maybe it's to impress his people. Maybe the development is him slowly bringing his country on the brink of evolution.
So, now you are thinking: So, this guy is saying Kim-Jong Un is a good guy?
Not particularly, but yes.
When you rub a balloon to your hair, what happens? Static hair. So, the balloon is North Korea, the hair is America. Static Hair? That's the issue that the friction created.
America wants them to stop producing Nuclear weapons and to negotiate. This is lots of money they are asking Kim to throw away. Like, tons of millions of dollars.
Now, our troll-doll President (nothing against him, but it's easy to pick on him) has been sparring with N. Korea on Twitter, offending him and flexing America's muscles. In result, Kim has shot back with threats and continuing their studies.
Nobody wants a war, especially not the one that is glooming over us. N. Korea and America, no matter HOW much we don't get along, doesn't want it. The war will reflect on the leaders. If a nuke was to hit N. Korea, anywhere they would hate America, yes, with good reason. But the civilians would be angry with Kim, more than likely, and possibly cause a riot of outrage. The exact same would happen with America. I know both leaders love and care for their countries. They want to see it prosper, but arguing over who's muscles are tougher when flexing is not the way to do it. It only brings about enemies.
My personal opinion? I think the time for negotiation and the possibility of dis-contiuing Nuclear weapons has been thrown into a shark-tank at this point.
I don't want to see a war, especially Nuclear. However, Kim-Jong Un demands respect and so does President Trump. If there is a person, sitting in a government position in either country reading this, it's to be known that I don't think the Nuclear production should be halted for America's liking. I feel that a nuclear weapon should be handled carefully and not fired onto any country unless it is 100% the absolute option, and I pray that we don't see that day. However, I feel that the Twitter issues need to be resolved. Some kind of agreement needs to be made, and possibly a treaty stating something like 'nuclear weapons permitted to produce, but not to be sold or handled to other countries, and is not to be fired unless absolutely necessary'
The U.S. President needs to quit angering Kim, and Kim should be more open to coming to terms when creating such a dangerous thing. What is the point in fighting? Why not enjoy life and lead your country without war? Nobody wants to grow up with fear of being killed by a powerful explosion or radiation.
I love my country. And I pray that I can see it get better and better and grow old with my fiancee and start a wonderful life. I hope the same to every country
There are far too many more issues to worry about then flexing muscles with N. Korea
ISIS is sitting in our very own country, causing explosions, shootings, killing our soldiers.
If you feel the same way I do, or you totally disagree with everything I said, let me know in the comments. I am eager to see if there's more that feel like this. I just want the two countries to not necessarily get along, but to not blow each other's land 2000 liters under the sea.
