We reviewed our Europe Maps and looked at current events and talked a lot about North Korea. Current Events:
Air Pollution: In China, there are very few environmental laws concerning pollution from factories and businesses. China wants to overcome the United States and in China 1.2 million people die from air pollution each year.
Connecticut: Governor signed law that bans some weapons and bans high capacity magazines. Requiring background checks for all gun purchases. Connecticut became the 3rd state to pass gun laws in the past few months.
North Korea: Video 1-
- Water around NK makes it hard to invade, and they could spread down into SK;
- They have missiles that spread 435 miles (covers South Korea) and 2500 miles. NK says that they might have missiles that could spread to the US, but the technology doesn't look good enough that they could;
- NK has 1.1 million active troops and 5 million troops in reserve, 605 combat aircraft, and 43 naval missile vessels;
- US Military has 30,000 troops in SK, 3800 troops in Japan along with a missile defense radar system, and 5700 troops in Guam, one of our most important bases in the world for long range bombers.
Video 2-
- If North and South Korea went to war the Korean Peninsula would be were most of the fighting would be.
- The first thing you'll see is heavy artillery fire from the North to the South (ex. Sol, the capital).
The North will activate their special forces and sleeper agents to go to combat in South Korea - In response the US will activate it's air craft from surrounding areas.
- Experts don't really believe the NK will attack, but if they do they will attack South Korean specific locations (things that don't affect the US)
Nuclear Tests: The US has done more Nuclear tests than all the countries in the world combined and is the only country to use a nuclear weapon in combat. Russia: Spys sent info from US and helped Russia developed Nuclear weapons much faster than the US thought they would. UK: A group of scientist known as the "British Mission" showed up to help the US with Nuclear weapons and then started their own Nuclear program, we now work with them. France: has the 3rd largest Nuclear arsenal, most are on submarines. China: China had the shortest time between fission and fusion tests of all the nuclear powers.
