Is the Korean Peninsula headed for war? – Inside Story
Tension on the Korean Peninsula has increased since US President Donald Trump threatened to act against North Korea’s continued missiles tests and nuclear ambitions.
The Pyongyang government says it is ready to defend itself even with nuclear weapons against any aggression by the United States.
There have been concerns recently that the country is getting ready to launch another nuclear or missile test.
And on Saturday, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un watched as his military put on a large parade that featured what some are calling new intercontinental missiles.
What does this all mean for a region that is already on edge?

Fighting with nuclear weapons nobody wins.
That doesn’t mater, as long as the USA and the Brits vanish from history of mankind once and for all.
Trumptard? More proof of the Liberals maturity level, if you’re gonna try to insult Trump, at least create a nickname that isn’t incredibly lame and 3rd grade-ish?
Trump is a disaster
so if America has nuclear weapons…which law in the world says north Korea can’t have nuclear weapons too?
The USS Carl Vinson’s Law. WE don’t care about how many time you cry Hypocrite it wont change anything.
john smith is actually find this funny maybe America wouldn’t be so stressed out if they mind their own Business and stopped acting like the big brother of the whole fcking world
real Life hErO you do understand that if the USA left South Korea that the north would invade the south and then create basically a slave nation of the South Koreans maybe its cool to blame the USA for al the problems in the world however it’s not the case in Korea the problem is the north they are the trouble maker here not the USA
North Koria is not a threat for the world’s peace. the threat is USA. who has killed millions of people? USA. by the way, ” History proves that white man is Evil ” Malcolm X
Belay Adugna IN AFRICA YOU ARE MY SLAVE
Lol. Yes, and your race is COMPLETELY innocent. Every powerful country on Earth (US, UK, China, Russia, etc) has killed millions. North Korea currently sends its citizens to death camps. Please tell me how this is ok.
Every Trump Voter should now immediately be conscripted.
usa are the terrorist of this planet
I 100% agree
amin damit nope that medal belongs to the many Muslim nut jobs around the world
Riki Hearts_Trotsky really who gets bullied

good job North Korea 😘 from India
Thx, Trump supporters, here is your ”Hillary’s war”.
Polandball and mapping Slovenia been a long time since i have talked to you
ik
Really boring presenter, if it was Mehdi hassan this program would have been so much better.
why don’t they bomb them while they do those parades?
Trump and Kim Jong-u are two sides of the same coin. Both are fascist who need big bombs to make up for their small hands. Trump wishes he could silence his critics in the media, execute his political rivals, throw public protesters in concentration camps and destroy all political parties and establish hereditary rule of the Trump family. Trumps model state is North Korea. He will rename America the United People of Trump Land (UPTL).
this war means is the end of the world
This is some scary stuff. For levity…Robert Kelly, you need to purchase a new microphone. 🙂
Robert Kelly needs to upgrade his recording/streaming system. Get a good camera, a professional microphone and some sound proofing dude.
I supported Trump until now. Seeing Trump follow same Tony Blair style script as Hillary Clinton makes me sick. Those people who criticize him as some kind of buffoon, you’re right after all
I took a bath today..the water was too wet, so I got out and dried off.
kregg Kittelson you Americans don’t feed me and my country
Wish the western world stops interfering in other countries. Let them be. They are not causing anyone harm. Western propaganda (my views my own).
First thing I thought of upon hearing news of North Korea was what do they want now? Seems like everytime they need resources they threaten or display. I am a skeptic and don’t trust any media reports, hence I will never base my perception on what I am told or read. The last 16 years have been had the worst administrations of my adult life. No politician or country is perfect. I think people that make generalizations about any region, culture or it’s people are ignorant. If one hasn’t lived in other cultures then how can one make a reasonable and rational judgement? After reading many of the comments below I wonder if some, not all, can think for themselves. Yes, North Korea has been a thorn in many sides for years. However, I feel that the international community of leaders know what is at stake, especially China. Their economy rests on the worlds consuming their products so it would be in their best interest to put the the hermit kingdom in check. Propaganda and fear are mental weapons. Personally I have no power to stop or start a war but I refuse to live my short life in fear. Just as with 9/11, I didn’t fear anything but I felt empathy for victims of that day as well as the victims of the Iraq war, the destruction of Libya, and the countless people that continue to suffer in many regions. So for the emotionally charged hateful commentors, you have a right to post your comments but you also are part of the problem in this world. At the very least you can attempt to comment like an adult and quit using you tube as an adult sandbox, fighting with others that don’t share your views. It’s infantile and useless. If you want to make a change in this world you have to start with yourself, which means think for yourself based on logic, critical thinking not emotions. Peace to all.
If you’re going to come on as specialists, you can at least get the names correct. “Yong Kim” that’s not how Korean names are said.
I am actually concerned about innocent Americans who will have no part on the aggression made by a suicidal old man who lived off his life already and now he is taking everyone else with him to the open crematorium.
Go go North Korea whip these terrorists off their ground.
10,000 pieces of artillery aimed at your capital? Man there’s no such thing as peace of mind there
ASII-YAN. If this guy for real? FFS say it properly mate
India with North Korea
America murderer history proved it well.

North Korea is only defending itself, after all whenever the US invades a country it leaves the country distorted, destructed and deserted.
South Korea and Japan should have their own nukes, like Isreal and India. Japan could have it,s own Nimitz class carriers, long range bombers, ballistic missiles, nuclear subs. England and France have them. So what! I trust nations founded by Gen. Macarthur, Ghandi, and Ben Gurion. Not Mongol Stalin.
we need to start taking this serious trump is to unpredictable and north korea is run by a spoiled brat this is a recipe for trouble.only need 2 countries to start a war and once it starts other countries will start choosing sides and that is how a world war starts.50 million ppl died in the last war and the weapons systems available now will make WW2 look like a bar fight compared to what will happen now and remember it only takes one country to use a mile and that will be the end of us all.wake up ppl this is serious.
{*Привет| Хай| Салют| Доюрый день|. Супер|Интересное|Увлекательное| видео!!! Мне очень понравилось;) Заходите к нам в гости у нас очень много интересных видео, вам понравиться, надеюсь будем дружить в будущем:)
Has N.Korea really got the capability or is it 1 big bluff ? Study the facts. The GDP of N.Korea is $25billion and most of that is spent on the military ok. 25% of its Budget is on the military, estimated GDP is $25 billion. N.Korea spends more on the military per GDP than any other country. No funding, mostly on the Nuclear Ballistic Missiles program. That’s why its heavy hardware is out of date. Its air force is large but comprises of 1950s -1990s before the soviet Union collapsed being the MiG 29s the most powerful.
Once the USA, South Korea and Japan. With air superiority and the nuclear missile out of action. Fuel, ammunition, food and command & control is knocked out. when N.Korea propaganda starts to brake down. The truth and control. uprising ? China don’t want N.Korea to collapse ? How long before N.Korea collapse. We can analyse the facts, but without China on side there is no point putting any of this in to action.
The world needs with U.N and with a U.N force not just USA forces!!! N.Korea needs to be given a choice by the U.N…. Analysing the facts the U.N needs program with China, USA, Japan, South Korea and even Russia? and the Security council.
Talking to Kim Jong in is waste of time. The USA are not going to do what Kim wants.
China gives Kim all he needs and its time China put more pressure on N.Korea and the stops its imports !!!
Now all the communist countries around the world are beginning to understand the real power of the democratic countries. The democratic countries give their citizens the real un-control freedom, no-fear voices, fair goes and good lives, while using their powers to
tell the communist countries including Russia what to do. (Russia is control by the KGB’s guy).
The communist countries (including Russia) have nothing good, but only the powers to control, abuse and kill their own citizens, in order for the leaders and their gangs in the governments to stay in power for very long time and to steal from their citizens and their countries. Mr. Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev (the eighth and final leader of the Soviet
Union) had the gut, the strength and the ability to destroy the communists on the other half of the globe (Europe).
May be Mr. Trump is the ‘chosen one’ to destroy the rest of the scumbag communists on this side of the globe (Asia and South America).
Take a good look at the f.u.c.ken BIG FAT Kim (leader of North Korea) and comparing to his SKINNY STICK citizens, who were forced to do all the marching and the cheering at the Fat Kim’s parade, their faces, definitely were showing that they were very HUNGRY and were not happy at all. It is time to destroy this evil North Korean’s communist and reunite the country of Korea, to give the North Korean the new taste of freedom and the new taste of life. Communist is the disease to the human species.
Trump retreats.
so this is it! fighting with Nuclear weapons… and you all bragging about it
Why Trump fear this fat man
we should have dropped a MOAB during their parade
South Korea and Japan will suffer if this will happen
how many countries NK invaded =0
how many countries invaded by USA = Vietnam , Iraq, Afghanistan , Lybia , now syria
how many countries NK nuke =0
how many countries USA nuke = 1 (japan )
So who is the terrorist ?
WHERE DOES THIS SCUMBAG GET THE FUNDS TO PAY FOR ALL THAT HARDWARE??
IF WAR COMES TO SOUTH KOREA- SOME OF MY GRAND KIDS WOULD BE TO OLD TO FIGHT- MILITARY HALF BREEDS
The dear leader…Nukes keep him safe, very smart guy “bigly”.
Their style of nuclear warfare? What bombs that don’t lift off the ground like the one on Sunday! LOL! We smash them the US does not afraid!
Time to call Captain Planet
Thank God I live in the east coast.
00:32 tampon table
Am also waiting for the children
I recommend 4grams of dried mushrooms.
Hm….I’m thinking LSD.
they have to do something about the Korean government this cant keep happening.somebody has to face the government.
Is the Korean Peninsula headed for war? I sure hope so and NK loses.
nice100 ok TRump Family Korea lot potim ok TRump Family TRump lot potim nice100 TRump Family Korea nice100
Iran is much crazier than Kim Jong-un .
The USA should just make a deal with China: China helps invade North Korea and the USA lets China and Taiwan become the same government and country. China gets Taiwan and South Korea gets North Korea and everyone gets rid of a madman that keeps launching missiles every time he throws a tantrum. Imagine how fast a China, South Korean, Japanese, and American invasion would take over North Korea.
im more concered about the USA with D. Trump and the west than N. Korea and China. The west has killed more people around the world and invaded most countries than N. Korea and China for the past 100 years..
every morning I check my phone for news update..whether it’s started or not
https://www.gofundme.com/macbook-pro-for-young-app-developer
America need to renew this war situation in Korea.. its nassesary for them.. its the only country were American troops are based at the Asian continent (means it’s possible to spy China, ground action etc. )
and North Korea btw need america as a omnipresent threat to keep the goverment stable and the people kalm…so I guess war will not happened .. in the end is this the bittersweet truth..
Do you really think they are real missiles..ha ha ha! They are just PVC shaped proto type, just like what Communist China & USSR use to have on public parade
DONALD …GET OUT OF THERE, NK !!!! NOW !!!!!!
TURN AROUND, FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR PEOPLE USA, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who is threatening the world killing people, racises taking their properties and lands is it America or North korean
CVS. BH
Please stop calling them Nuclear test.(this is when you detonate a nuclear weapon)”This is a Missile tests not nuclear tests!
this guy doesnt wash his hands after the bathroom
The USA is half way round the world with weapons at NK doorstep! They surround someone with guns and then complain when that someone threatens them ???? The USA is only country to use WMD nuclear, and also used chemical, napalm, cluster bomb …………if I were to come to your town, to your fence and point a gun over your fence ,then I’m pretty you would hate and threaten me back ! I don’t like Kim Jong un but seriously the USA gov is a hypocrite at best , and the biggest danger to this world.
Is robert Kelly wearing pants this time around?
What planes are those lifting off the USS ships? F/A-18 Super Hornets?
what I gathered from this is who knows. what is next.
real tiger north korea
I’m guessing at least half those “Missiles” are fake.
Big empty green tubes.
NK has nothing we need. Idk why Kim Jung Fat is so paranoid. First he’s trying to create a missile to get us and then he kills his big brother.
How did Al Jazeera become the only legit news channel? I’m finding myself watching only Al-Jazeera for news and I’m not a fan of anything Arabic.
Why is noone talking about US Missile tests this week?
Kim Jong Un has threatened to bomb my country with nuclear weapons so yes we will defend ourselfs. I don’t care what anyone here says we will destroy North Korea down to their grandchildren. The USA, China and Japan will destroy Fat Kim and his inexperienced military.
not again, haven’t World seen Syria,Libya,Iraq,Afgan,Crimea now this , let North Korea live alone
it’s nice to see us vrs nk…!remember us this not any islamic country and i hope usa is not going to invade nk. bcz there is no oil, gas neither gold ir etc etc…!
It would take exactly 48 hours for the US to get Kim on the run. There is NO credible evidence N Korea has tested any N tests. Even the ballistic missiles are most likely hollow and displayed for propaganda. No change in atmosphere recorded after their claimed N tests.N Korea is relying on hallucinogens to its soldiers which makes them feel invincible. Most of their weaponry is obsolete – deadly in f2f second world war type scenario but today in a push button world they stand no chance.
I was expecting to see the little children coming in the bedroom again……Jajajajaja
viva north Korea! support Korean struggle for unification without foreign interference.
I was waiting to his children to interrupt the Skype interview :’)
The two on kims right side look like someone hung a collection of metal container caps on them.
There is no need for US to invade N Korea, The way Kim is building up that blubber he’ll be dead in 5 years.
r
They gone hang that little man on national television
YAWN! I’ve heard this a thousand times before
they are still at war
Why north Korea feels insecure?
It would be difficult for the US to use military force against the North for it will challenge their relations with Japan and the South. Japan and the South are more scared of war than the North for they will have bigger loss specially in their economy. US is just scared that another country is capable of combating them, and I think the North just did it for the survival of their government.
The world is on the verge of destruction because of the imbeciel presidents of Korea and USA. No need to argue more.
THE KOREAN PENINSULA IS HEADED FOR REUNIFICATION….STOP THIS HATE AND FEAR MONGERING PROPAGANDA! The south and north koreans won’t let the war to break out in the korean peninsula fueled by other countries.
Which country has had lots of wars and killed inocent people
North korea? or America?
This is pure propaganda!
God bless Kim jong un God bless north Korea will defeat all the evil
That was then and this is now 2019. My question to commentators then is,,,, what happen now looking back 2years ago?
I wish it weren’t so But Historically The Kim Family Understood how they were Treated. They will Never Forget:DiplomacyDiplomacy Diplomacy Peace .The Human Rights violations are no Excuse. A Nuclear Power is Not a Antidote For Nuclear Non Proliferation.
Good north koria us uk kik out tha.powar in world
Rocket man is not stupid , if he beginning a war he will die too . China and Rusia will suffer too therefore the rocket man is screw , the world do not want another WWII
