The article “Korean war part 2?” by choe sang-hun is about North Korea’s plan to nullify the armistice they have had for 60 years. The tension on the Korean peninsula is not new even since World War II this country has been battling for power over the entry peninsula. North Korea being an isolated, poor, and totalitarian country seems to still have animosity toward people of South Korea a democracy and more wealthy country. The young North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un seems to be desperate, with his country’s economy deteriorating and more death due to starvation this leader now wants to put his country back on the map. Revealing that they now have a nuclear bomb, the missile is aimed toward the US but most like with not hit the main land of the US but instead hit the South Korea and with over 28.000 American troops still stationed there. This animosity between south and North Korea seems to be because of North Korea’s jealousy toward South Korea in the south they have almost double the amount of things the north has and the north feels that it is unfair for the south to be happy and the people of the north living in despair. So maybe Kim Jung Un plan is to defeat the south along with their allies and put the north on top and be able to rule the Korean peninsula or maybe he’s just trying to keep his people under the influence that he is a great leader and protecting them from invades.
