North Korea’s Nuclear Blackmail by: Henry A. Kissinger
Kissinger’s article points out the obvious contradicting messages being sent by the United States of Americas’ government. It is agreed upon that American citizens travel live across the globe, none of them are in harms way. With the bargain made with North Korea, foreign policies could easily hold hostage any citizen and get their way as long as they have enough nuclear weapons developed to destruct billions of lives. This specific instigation should be a worry for the American government. The government is inadvertently persuading cultures to create more bombs that are perceived to be threatening if they were to capture U.S citizens.
My personal taste of writing does not find this article sweet in any manor. The article lacks in substance and facts of the previous event. Furthermore, it fails to explain the significance behind Kissinger’s arguments. In spite of the intensity of a hostage situation, Kissinger weasels his opinions into downplaying the importance of a super-hero government.
