For many years, North Korea has had a close to nonexistent relationship with the rest of
the world. They have secretly bought and created nuclear bombs and testing them
underground. They speak of their use as their defense, but other inquiries involve their use
as a weapon for war or attack on the rest of the world. It is not only important that we fix
the problems we currently have with their nuclear use, but to propose the issue the best
way possible.
In the article, “Bomb North Korea, Before It’s Too Late,” by Jeremi Suri, he explains how
the best choice right now is to destroy North Korea’s nuclear bomb they are building. In
this text, Suri explains how deeply he feels about North Korea’s intentions that he’s
perceived from their actions. He has high hope that Obama will state that getting rid of

and public policy at the University of Texas at Austin, who cares deeply about his work
reaching out to as many people as it can, Jeremi Suri has a theory about what will happen
if we continue to let North Korea threaten everyone surrounding them with weapons.
As Suri describes our economies of the region “fragile”, he compares other countries to
our current situation with North Korea. He states that if we continue to let North Korea
make a stand, it will encourage other countries like South Korea and Japan to also develop
their own nuclear weapons against us. A special representative for North Korea policy,
Sung Kim, spoke a testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and stated,
“We send a strong message to North Korea that security is not to be found in nuclear
weapons and military provocations.” From a point of view from government standing who
