Millicent McAlpin January 29, 2013 COULD NORTH KOREA HIT THE U.S WITH A MISSILE!? Millicent McAlpin January 29, 2013

U.S and North Korea The U.S and North Korea don’t have a good relationship and aren’t allies After the war NK still felt that we the U.S had over stepped our boundaries, and if it weren’t for us they would control the whole peninsula

WHY? First, to make up for the embarrassment of the failed missile; second, the regime's past nuclear tests didn't go very well. First attempt lasted 90 seconds before landing in Yellow Sea Want the weapon to be mobile, so they won’t need an airplane. Kim Jong Un refused to listen to the U.N sanctions, and want to test their nuclear weapon.

China’s on the Hot Seat Everybody has turned to China, who is NK’s Ally China is NK’s main source of food and fuel However china also a main foreign trade for the U.S Can China play a role in dissuading North Korea from investing so heavily in missiles and nuclear devices. Or will they side with NK

What could happen? Some say North Korea wont go through with it, and its impossible Other say North Korea will have made the bomb to launch around 2012 to 2016
