Last week North Korea launched what the United States has claimed a veiled ballistic missile. The object disintegrated moments after being launched into the air. But that's not all for the country, because the military has issued an eery statement claiming they would reduce South Korea to ashes in just four minutes. South Korean officials have been consistently monitoring militant activity in enemy territory and claim to have found what may be a tunnel for nuclear testing. The threat was specific in its promise to deliver soon and efficiently. North Korea stated they would obliterate "all rat-like groups and the bases for provisions to ashes in three or four minutes or in much shorter time, by unprecedented peculiar means and methods of our own style."
It is no secret that the Koreas have had a turbulent past, but unrest between nations may be spiraling out of control. My primary concern is of the actions the American government will take due to this event, and if our tendency to become involved in the dissensions of other countries will in turn inflict North Korea's wrath upon ours.
