  • Well done! Be sure to include your opinions within your summary. -5 late

  • I think they said they would destroy our aircraft carrier because they want to mess with  one of the strongest militaries in the world so they can say that their military is really strong. I think he made the right choice because if North Korea tries anything we can shut them down.

  • I honestly do not know why North Korea threatened to destroy the U.S aircraft carrier, and I believe that Trump should've tried to talk with Korea about the problem rather than just send armada over, but then again I also believe in piece rather than war. 

  • I feel like they did because of all the tensions we have against them and the ones they have with us. Neither of us have a good relationship that just needs to be settled here pretty soon before things get worse. I do not think it was a good idea because we need to leave each other alone just like we did when were 3 years of age.

    • I do agree with you because i feel like that U.S doesn't want to get into a war and we might as well settle this before things get worse. I don't think it's a good idea either because North Korea if provoked will attack us and they just don't care.

  • North Korea doesn't like the United States to begin with, so all of the extra tension is adding fuel to the fire. I'm not really into politics, but I do think that the president is doing what he can to keep America safe. North Korea is a threat to us, and precautionary steps should be taken in order to secure the safety of our country.

    • All that you said i agree with you 100% because the president is trying to do what is best for america and that is at this point to make sure North Korea will not hurt the United States.

  • Probably because they dont like us invading on their territory. They want to show off their military power to the world. Yes, he wants to ensure the safety of the crew of the aircraft carrier. I think he made the right choice.

    • I agree with you because yes we did have a bad relationship to begin with and personally I think that Trump made the wrong choice because America doesn't want to get into a war. 

  • They are trying to intimidate the United States because they think they are becoming more powerful.  I think he did because that will show North Korea that we are not scared to take them on if they want to have a fight.
