North Korea has become more bold in its actions. So far, it has fired a second missile over Japan, tested more missiles, and claimed that it owns the fate of North America. In response to Japan and the US spearheading UN security council sanctions as a result of the regime’s recent nuclear test, North Korea threatened to sink Japan and said the US should be “beaten to death like a rabid dog.”

Additionally, other countries have not accepted the regime’s actions very well. The US, India, and Japan have united in preparing for war. Surprisingly, China has also prepared to fight. The country is working together with Russia, and the two countries have set up Chinese vessels and personnel in the Port of Vladivostok, in Russia, for joint naval exercises. The drills will extend into the Sea of Okhotsk, which is north of Japan, and will run until September 26, as each side will carry out joint submarine rescue and anti-submarine drills involving multiple ships and aircraft. Video footage shows a number of vessels in the port, as well as artillery weapons being fired into the water. Military sources told Russian news agency Tass the drills were not aimed at any countries, and added that they hoped to “consolidate partnership and practical cooperation between the two militaries.”

A new report has claimed that the detonation on September 3 of what North Korea claimed was a hydrogen bomb involved a device with an estimated yield of 250 kilotons, or 2,204,622.6218488 pounds, making it more powerful than any country believed. Also, the US-based 38 North website noted that the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organisation raised the seismic power created by the test from magnitude 5.8 to 6.1.

It said, “This revision is significant because, rather than providing an equivalent yield of about 120 kilotons derived from the lower magnitude estimates, the application of standard formula with appropriate constants shows that the yield can now be estimated to have been roughly 250 kilotons (one quarter megaton). Regardless of whether this most recent test was an operational warhead for an ICBM [intercontinental ballistic missile] or simply a device, the yield of the test clearly shows North Korean progress in increasing the yields of their nuclear weapons.”

President Trump has issued a speech in New York, saying if America “is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea.” Additionally, he referred to North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un as a “rocket man on a suicide mission for himself and his regime.”

History connoisseur Ivan Anyanwu believes that “there’s nothing North Korea can do to stop an American invasion without having nuclear weapons as a deterrent.” and “though North Korea is a rogue state that oppresses its citizens, every country has the right to defend themselves from imperialism through any means possible.”
