NORTH KOREA NUCLEAR GAME- A SHORTCUT TO WORLD WAR III




Since Kim Jong-un came to power in North Korea, nuclear testing has become nearly a monthly game show. This has really given the United States much concern and the Obama administration applied economic sanction to avert a possible arm conflict between Washington and Pyongyang.
After the US President vowed to "totally destroy" North Korea if it poses a threat to the US or its allies, the North Korean leader branded Trump "mentally deranged" while his foreign minister remarked that Pyongyang could consider a hydrogen bomb test of an unprecedented scale on the Pacific Ocean.
The news comes after North Korea’s UN envoy said the country would never bow down to international pressure and give up its nuclear weapons program, diplomatic means of addressing the hostilities appear to have been sidelined in favour of military action.
The US military has a huge presence in the area around North Korea, particularly in Japan and increasingly close allies South Korea.
There are almost 40,000 US troops serving in Japan, more than in any other country, and earlier this year the US Air Force lined up a huge array of helicopters, tactical fighter jets and surveillance aircraft in a show of force aimed to intimidate Kim Jong-un.
The B-1B bomber is heralded for its survivability and although initially designed to carry nuclear arms, it was converted to carry more conventional weaponry after the Cold War.
The US is believed to have at least six B-1B bombers stationed in Guam and is best suited to a ‘medium threat environment’, rather than a heavily defended airspace.
Speaking about plans for a possible preemptive strike on North Korea earlier this month, retired Admiral James Stavridis told NBC News: “The B-1b has also been selected because it has the added benefit of not being able to carry nuclear weapons. 
“Military planners think that will signal China, Russia, and Pyongyang that the US is not trying to escalate an already bad situation any further."
The B-52 was first introduced in 1955 and was originally designed to carry nuclear weapons during the Cold War. It remains one of the most superior aircraft in the US Air Force. 
The US also maintains a smaller presence in other countries in the region, including Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines. US military aircraft use Thai runways while the US Navy will operate four warships out of Singapore by next year.
Recommendation
Security council should come up with strong diplomatic and economic sanction in other to prevent civilian casualties.
