When is korea supposed to bomb us

Fortunately, there have been only a few injuries in the past few years. But Jong said an year-old boy who found a bomb in May lost several fingers when it went off while he was playing with it.

North Korea is just one of many countries still dealing with the explosive legacy of major wars. In Asia alone, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and even Japan have huge amounts of unexploded ordnance left to clean up. The three-year Korean War, which ended in what was supposed to be a temporary armistice on July 27, , was one of the most brutal ever fought.

Virtually all of the 22 major cities in North Korea were severely damaged and hundreds of thousands of civilians killed by U. The tonnage of bombs dropped on the North was about the same as the total dropped by the U. North Korea is probably second only to Cambodia as the most heavily bombed country in history. By , the bombing was so complete that the U. Air Force had effectively run out of worthwhile targets. North Koreans claim , bombs were dropped on Pyongyang alone, roughly one bomb for every resident at the time, and that only two modern buildings in the capital were left standing.

All told, the U. Charles Armstrong, a historian at Columbia University, said the expansion of saturation bombing in North Korea marked something of a turning point for the United States and was followed by the use of an even heavier version during the Vietnam War. Armstrong noted that the Hamhung area and the nearby port of Hungnam were hit particularly hard by U. Fuel and oxidizer. Steering engines. STAGE 1. STAGE 2. July United States. May North Korea.

But didn't Trump fix everything with North Korea? I mean the guy did actually step into and enter North Korean territory and shook hands with the dictator. The president showed up, met with him, gave him legitimacy, weakened the sanctions we have against him. Trump, much like his America-hating supporters, makes a lot of statements; few of which are true or accurate.

And it's not Bukhan trying to strangle, starve, the U. They have said multiple times that if the U. However much one may view Kim as a psychopath, Hanguk has its own psychopaths who prefer not sharing their power with others and since the Chinese helped Bukhan drive the American invaders back to the south, they have been under constant threat from the U. Gawd, how I hate seeing what an ugly thing my own country can be. And if Bukhan were the only people we were abusing America is sick The fact that trump was able to have a meeting and dialogue with kim doesn't make Biden look good.

UN resolutions mean absolutely nothing, and are clearly not legally binding. Other nations are constantly in violation of UN resolutions and rarely is it ever mentioned let alone does it attract further action.

Why should North Korea follow a discriminatory resolution that limits its ability to defend itself against other more advanced nations that have, maintain, upgrade and research such weapons themselves? I am no fan of the north or their system of government or their threats.

But equality is supposed to cover everyone, even those as opposed to you, as you are to them. As a sovereign nation they should have the same rights to develop anything other nations also have. I dont want them to have nukes so maybe we push everyone for disarmament of WMD and not just those smaller nations we are scared will be more likely to use them.

I think it's next to impossible for the U. They may come to talks but will never discard its nuclear and missile programs as the U. North Korea. A third world nation. Exceedingly poor. A military that would run out of fuel and food in a brief period. The mainstay of its weaponry: artillery pieces in caves.

A nation that wastes its precious resources on ballistic missiles to what actual end? South Korea?
