North Korea Attacks South

In this article, Obama Vows to Defend South Korea, Calls for Joint Military Exercises, the associated press have informed the public on President Obama's viewpoints about the unprovoked attack on South Korea. Obama states that joint military exercises will take place if need be to further curtail North Korea from continued attacks. The associated press also states that Obama has said "South Korea is our ally." The U.S. currently has 29,000 troops in South Korea and has not done any further adjustments yet. This is a touchy subject due to the fact that many Americans do not think we should be involved with South Korea. The Korean War had left around 35,000 Americans dead. President Obama said that he would stand by South Korea and that North Korea must stop all provocative actions.

I agree with President Obama. I think that it is in our best interest to protect South Korea and be a world leader. We have been an ally with South Korea for some time now. As a big nation, the United States is not the only country that is fearing North Korea's possibilities. China is fearing them as well. I feel that with the increase in nuclear interests, North Korea must be watched very closely. I fear that an attack may be possible and a nuclear one will be devastating. North Korea has proven that they are unstable and a lot of the world leaders are looking with uncertainty. Only time will tell what North Korea will do next and hopefully it is nothing that harms many innocent people.
