Keep your friends close and keep your enemies closer

    The Olympics are over and now the world is waiting to find out what North Korea is going to do with their nuclear weapons.  Does America need to prepare themselves for a nuclear apocalypse or can we finally loosen our ties and relax without the fear of the end of the world coming.  While we wait the suspense builds up, yet we, unfortunately, have to live our lives.  In a recent article written on March 3, 2018, by The Huffington Post called It Only Takes One Trump Tweet To Fall Into North Korea's Trap is answering the questions that Americans have been on edge wondering what is happening.
        On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced that he and North Korea leader, Kim Jong-Un, agreed to meet for the first time ever face-to-face between a U.S president and a North Korean leader.  I believe that this article is written for anyone that is interested in politics and has a general understanding of what is happening in America and with North Korea.  Unfortunately, that is not a large amount of Americans, as it is a known fact that the younger generation, people age 30 and under are oblivious to what is happening in America, let alone know what is going on in other countries.  A brief summary is, Kim Jong-Un made an offer to South Korea that appears to be too good to be true, which is to suspend nuclear and missile test and that "the routine joint military exercises between the Republic of Korea and the United States must continue."  As of now, the Trump White House is claiming that they are the reason for Kim taking a different approach.  While there are no facts behind this it is certainly possible that "faced with an American president who does not hesitate to talk about the "annihilation" of North Korea" that it allowed Kim Jong-Un to soften his disposition of what he thinks the best course of action this is.  While this seems amazing, it seems too soon for optimistic perspectives.
    The article states that there are two options that can happen and in the end, both options look equally bad.  I believe that they are right in thinking that it might be the option B, that it is a trap to trick Trump.  North Korea knowing that we have a president who has no professional mannerism or filter could very easily cause damage not only his want for "peace" but could also damage our relations with Japan, China, and South Korea.  Is this a trap to hurt America and cause us to be abandoned by our allies?  I feel that this article would be best if they discussed what our allies thought of North Koreas want for "peace" and if they feel that they can be trusted. 
           I encourage all of you to read this article to become knowledgeable of what is happening in America and with North Korea. To read the article click the following link:It Only Takes One Trump Tweet To Fall Into North Korea's Trap
