Kim Jong-un is not detoured at all from testing his nuclear-capable weapons as he continues to fire off North Korea’s missiles in an attempt to show the world they have the technology to enter the nuclear game. On Sunday he embarked on the second launching of a test missile within a week’s time. News of this Sunday’s missile firing left very little hope for South Korea officials that they would see peace between the neighboring countries anytime in the near future.
Not only is Kim Jong-un not trying to hide the fact that they are testing the mid-range and medium long-range missiles, he ordered a parade through the streets last week to honor the technicians responsible for last weekend’s successful missile launch. He appears eager to share his “success” with the rest of the world.
While this is the game plan against North Korea today, it doesn’ t seem to be very effective, as the missile tests continue. Without the use of nuclear weapons, a war with North Korea would entail “massive amounts of U. S. and South Korean forces getting involved and this could drag on for months.
Jim Mattis, the Secretary of Defense, did not make any attempt to conceal what the U. S. is facing if, in fact, Kim Jong-un leaves this country with no choice but to take military action. Mattis said, “it is going to be tragic on an unbelievable scale.” Unless Kim Jong-un somehow changes his mind, it doesn’ t look like a favorable outcome for troops. This would entail putting together some type of military action.
