The past weeks in the news there has been reports of nuclear war threats coming from North Korea. The reason for this is that Pyongyang was canceling the 60-year-old treaty that ended the Korean War.
According to the article in the National Post, it makes it seem like North Korea has a tendency of putting out threats in times of tension with the outside world. This publication makes this nuclear threat in a way seem as a joke and that it will never occur as it goes into details of other threats North Korea has done before. However, in case of a war to actually occur South Korea along with US troops are running daily drills.
The article on NBC News/Reuters, proves that there has been a North Korea nuclear test. The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), claims that there is no “smoking gun” sign as they cannot detect radioactive traces emitted from last month’s North Korea nuclear testing. This article proves that in fact there are ongoing nuclear test happening in North Korea, but they are using substances that as of right now are not possible to detect. It may in fact be only a treat from North Korea but the testing makes one think otherwise.
