Gregg Andrew Brazinsky writes about the current decision that the U.S. is facing in regards of how to deal with the "new" North Korea. He goes on to mention how due to Kim Jung Ill's sudden death, his successor Kim Jung Un isn't nearly as big of a threat as his father as he hadn't had the chance to go through the same "extensive grooming as a leader." This is why Brazinsky believes that it's a perfect opportunity for the U.S. to act to engage in greater activity there as North Korea continues to be a threat to our nation. Although he doesn't necessarily believe it'll be possible to get rid of all the major problems such as their nuclear weapons and economic system, he believes that any step to prevent such measures from worsening to be taken along with the aid of South Korea to persuade China to join their cause. As a Korean-American, any news regarding North Korea is pretty relevant to my life as both my parents are from Korea and I have direct relatives living there. I've also always had an interest in North Korean refugees and the situation in North Korea due to it being part of my culture and had it emphasized through my church.
