Korean War Part 2

In the article Korean War by Choe Sang-Hun in Seoul it talks about North Korea threats to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike against South Korea and the U.S. in Korea there was a war many years ago that resulted in the split of North Korea and South Korea. And North Korea is very poor and South Korea being wealthier than the North. Also when North and South Korea were at war the United States supplied 90% of the troops. I think that North Korea feels like they want revenge because the United States teamed up with South Korea and sent all the troops to their country to win a war against them. Since that war South Korea has been doing much better it’s the 12th richest country in the world, but North Korea is doing very badly they  have been through starvation and labor camps. It seems like they have a lot of anger toward South Korea and the U.S. so they probably feel like they should take it out on some one. The leader of North Korea Kim Jong Un relays a message with his American former NBA star Dennis Rodman Kim said, “I don’t want war.” If he didn’t want war why would he threat the U.S and South Korea with nuclear weapons. It seems like he is trying to just make it seem like he is not worried about the U.S. so we can stop worrying about what is his next move. Also i think the new young leader is threating the U.S. is too look stronger to his people since he is new to the country.
