The Struggle with North Korea
North Korea is a repressive Communist nation of which many bordering countries are fearful. North Korea’s military ranks fifth in the world, and the United States government has reason to believe that the powerful country has nuclear weapons. In fact, North Korea claims that it succeeded in launching its fifth nuclear test in September of this year. North Korea’s fifth nuclear test came just seven months after their fourth nuclear test in January of this year. These tests are beginning to worry the United States and North Korea’s neighbors and are bringing on more consequences for the country.
