2) This is а fictiоnаl threаt, set in the year 2027.   The Demоcratic Peоple’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) has for decades pursued its nuclear ambitions to the dismay of both Western countries and its neighbors in East Asia. It recently announced the successful launch of a satellite from a three-stage rocket, and U.S. and allied intelligence services conclude that North Korea now possesses the technology for an intercontinental ballistic missile that could reach the North American west coast. This new missile capability, combined with North Korea’s ongoing nuclear tests and its mastery of warhead miniaturization technology, means the country is capable of following through on past threats to fire a nuclear-armed missile capable of reaching the United States. The President has called on you, his Director of National Intelligence, to make a recommendation based on your deep knowledge of history and foreign policy experience.   For example, you know The U.S. has dozens of military bases and approximately 30,000 troops based across the border in South Korea. North Korea views these troops as a direct threat and desires nuclear weapons, in part, as a deterrence to the U.S. threat. A nuclear attack from North Korea could destroy U.S. cities and kill millions of people.  The North Korean military is the world's fourth-largest in the world with a force of over 1.2 million active personnel and approximately 7.6 million reservists.  If North Korea is attacked, it could decide to use its nuclear weapons first against the U.S. or our allies in the region What will be your recommendation to the President?  (Choose from A or B below) 10 points   Attempt to Negotiate with North Korea. What are the pros and cons of negotiations?   What chips could the U.S. use to bargain with North Korea?  Explain your rationale for choosing this position.   Launch preventive military strikes against North Korea What are the pros and cons of military strikes against North Korea? Describe what a U.S. attack against North Korea might look like and how it might be fought. Explain your rationale for choosing this position.
