North Korea's Latest Threat.

On Thursday, North Korea yet again released another propaganda video.  This time showing the White House in crosshairs.  Taunting videos from North Korea is no new news to us, they've been putting out controversial material and making bogus threats for years.  However, things are especially tense this time as the U.S. has been urging China to tighten down on the country.  The two and a half minute propaganda video shows a massive military parade, followed by footage of missile tests and a burning American flag with the White House in crosshairs.  The video also shows a backdrop that says "We will show you what a strong country that leads the world in nuclear and missile technology is capable of."  I think it is fair to include the fact that North Korea is believed to possess only 8 to 10 nuclear weapons while the Unites States possesses around several thousand.

Although North Korea has been making threats for years, we should not continue to sit there and allow them to continue taunting us until they act.  They continue to put out controversial videos, conduct missile tests, and incarcerate any American they can find without reasonable cause.  North Korea is run by a coward, Kim Jong-un has run his country with fear and propaganda.  Millions of the North Korean people have been starved to death in order to fund Kim Jong-un's nuclear ambitions all while living under whatever lies are fed to them by their government. These same propaganda techniques will not work on the rest of the world, it is time for something to be done to stop the mockery of the United States and the oppression of the North Korean people.

Colleague Work Comment #1.

I am commenting on my classmates blog post titled, "The Wall To Be, Or Not To Be, - That Is The Question."  While my classmate did present good points in expressing his opposition President Trump's border wall, I must say I respectfully disagree.  Illegal immigration is a huge problem in the United States, we have let this issue slide by for too long and now it has gotten out of control.  If we enforced our immigration laws in the first place, we wouldn't be in the situation we are in today.  However, we are in this situation and there is no better option that has been proposed other than building a border wall.  Many people say that a wall will not do any good, that it can be crossed too easily and we really will not be fixing anything, but there is actually quite more to this wall than meets the eye.  President Trump had stated that the wall will be drone enforced, along with a great number of border patrol agents with the authority to take the appropriate action if need be.  Will the border wall completely fix all illegal immigration? No.  However, due to the mere thought of the wall and consequences for illegal immigration, illegal immigration has gone down nearly 70% since Trump took the white house.  That alone should say something.  People are realizing that the United States now has a leader that will do what he says rather that tiptoe around options.  During the race for the presidency, then candidate Trump stated,  "If I draw a line in the sand, I will enforce that line in the sand, believe me!"
