Earthquake Hits Japan

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

A magnitude 7.1 earthquake hit the Japan coast 200 miles (320 kilometers) south-southwest of Tokyo today.

It’s crazy that Japan has faced both a typhoon and an earthquake on the same day. Not only that, but on this particular day. In case you didn’t know, today was the 64th anniversary of the atomic bomb that hit Nagasaki, Japan (Fat Man) in 1945. This past August 6th was the 64th anniversary of the atomic bomb (Little Boy) that hit Hiroshima, Japan.

North Korea Bombing the US

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Back in April, Pyongyang claimed that any sanctions against North Korea will be considered a “declaration of war.”  Yesterday, North Korea launched an underground nuclear test. The explosion was  so strong that it caused an earthquake along North Korea at 9:54AM.  These bombs are believed to be as strong as the ones that hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan in 1945.

Shortly after this happened, there has been talk about the UN imposing more sanctions against North Korea. Today, North Korea fired two more missiles.

Some believe that North Korea won’t be able to shoot long-range missiles until years from now. I don’t think North Korea is that stupid. Being that North Korea knows that the world is watching them, and that they are aware that other countries will take action to prevent this from continuing, why would they provoke them if they knew that they couldn’t fight back? I honestly think that North Korea is trying to provoke a nuclear war.  What do you think?
