North Korea

After President Trump issued a strongly worded threat to Kim Jong Un’s North Korean regime, concerns that the United States may be inching closer toward war with North Korea continue to rise.  Although Secretary of State Rex Tillerson attempted to assuage some of these concerns in his own public statements since, it would seem the […]

President Trump’s promise on Tuesday to show North Korea “fire and fury” if the rogue nation continues to issue threats against the United States added a bit of theatrics to increasingly tense relations between the two countries. The imagery the president offered seemed to add a sense of urgency of the situation, and underscored the […]

The North Koreans were rattling their saber again and upped the ante this time, threatening a ballistic missile strike on the U.S. territory of Guam. While some residents expressed concern, others said that their trust in the US military will keep them safe. North Korea’s military said it is considering a missile launch aimed near […]

Although it has yet to become the formal consensus of the U.S. Government, intelligence analysts are now claiming that Kim Jong-un’s North Korean regime seems to have successfully miniaturized their nuclear warheads, an important, and potentially final, step in making their long-range ballistic missiles into global strike nuclear weapons. Throughout this year’s rash of North […]

Chinese naval forces will conduct more than 10 kinds of drills and launch dozens of types of missiles during four days of live-fire exercises off the Korean peninsula, according to state media. The details of the drills, which end on Tuesday, were released less than two weeks after North Korea fired off its second long-range […]

After North Korea’s most recent bout of long-range ballistic missile tests, the United Nations Security Council unanimously voted to impose new sanctions on Kim Jong-un’s regime on Saturday.  These new restrictions are projected to slash North Korean exports by as much as a third. The resolution, which was drafted by the United States after North […]

Only one day after voting in favor of new sanctions to be imposed on Kim Jong-un’s North Korean regime, China’s state-owned media released a statement stressing the limits of the new restrictions, and once again emphasizing their position critical of the United States in the region. The United Nations Security Council voted unanimously on Saturday […]

Thanks to recent developments in North Korea’s long range ballistic missile programs, a great deal of attention has been paid to America’s missile defense infrastructure.  From the Aegis Missile Defense System powered by America’s Naval presence in the region, to THAAD launchers in both South Korea and Kodiak, Alaska, all the way to America’s sometimes […]

North Korea likely hasn’t ranked high on your list of potential vacation destinations in recent years, perhaps because of the oppressive government regime, the scarcity of food, or the high likelihood that you could be imprisoned indefinitely over something as simple as taking a poster off of a wall.  One would think, then, that the […]

With tensions at a seemingly continuous rise on the Korean peninsula, both the United States and North Korea have sent one another messages in the forms of military exercises, missile tests, interceptor tests, and steely glares from across the 2.5-mile gap between the two Korean states.  This Sunday, however, they’ll be able to communicate far […]

North Korea’s most recent long-range ballistic missile test demonstrated to the world that Kim Jong-un’s regime now possesses a platform capable of reaching further than ever before, with some experts extrapolating a range capable of targeting cities as far as away as America’s Boston or New York City. More recent analysis of the overall flight […]

The possible unintended consequences of North Korea’s ICBM missile launch tests are starting to become clear. An Air France passenger jet with over 300 people on board apparently passed within 10 minutes of where the latest North Korean missile landed in the Sea of Japan. Flight data from the time of the ICBM’s landing on Friday indicates […]
