Blog #10: North Korea

I believe that it is way past time for Obama to take charge on North Korean nuclear threats. It must be an urgent critical priority to to counter Korea's rapidly emerging capability to deliver and detonate the EMP nuclear device in the sky. Since no one seems to know how soon they are ready to let it launch, there is questioning as to what should be done to put a stop to it. In my opinion, I think that nothing should be done officially, until Obama is positive that it was not merely just sending a satellite into space, but planning a rocket launch. Because of Korea's dismal economy, wanting to gain recognition, Obama could also offer some sort of trade deal such as oil, food, energy, etc in order to suppress this conflict. North Korea hopes to push Obama into direct bilateral dialogue and eventually gain the respect and recognition they desire. By offering some sort of deal, this could potentially put and end to the conflict.
