The new leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un (below), has vowed that he will end the 1953 cease fire between North and South Korea. This action was put in place in response to the joint military drills between South Korea and the United States.
On February twelfth North Korea launched its third nuclear test. Those of the US are worried that North Korea may be growing closer to attaining nuclear based weaponry that can reach the United States but North Korea insists that its nuclear program is in response to US hostility. The United States is a close ally of South Korea and Japan and for the past few weeks the US has been working on creating a new resolution with China. Although, there is much probable cause that another right be planning an attack, I believe that this entire issue is based on a misunderstanding and that it should be resolved before it leads to war.
