Who North Korea South Korea Japan United States Russia

When March 26 th, 2009: Missiles are getting ready to launch April 4~8 th, 2009: Day of missile launching

Where The missile will be launched in North Korea The missile can go 4000 miles and can barely reach Alaska

What North Korea placed a long range missile capable of hitting Alaska on a missile launch pad When preparations are complete, it will take three days to launch, which is needed for fueling the missile South Korea, Japan, and the US are all alarmed since ballistic activities is a violation of United Nation Security Council resolution Since the missile will probably cross Japan, Japanese officials warn that launching over their territory will result of shooting down of the missiles

North Korea says they will declare war on Japan if they do North Korea is saying the the missile launch is actually a launch of a satellite, but no one believes it US sends 2 anti-missile warships North Korea says that UN’s attempt to punish them will result in ending of disarmament negotiations Even Russia joins into tell NK to stop the launching

Why If they do launch it, then Japan and North Korea may go into war Since we are in war with North Korea already, we may make an alliance with Japan

How Possibly interwar period, since the launching of the missile could cause the other nations to act US, Russia, and Japan seek the same goal, so it is like collective security It made me feel suspicious, because why would North Korea be so defensive about UN’s attempts?
