The U.S. and South Korea have agreed to install THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Air Defense) in South Korea. THAAD is purely defensive, and is needed to counteract the North Korean threat. Despite statements to the contrary, there are no health risks associated with the installation.
North Korea has launched 30 missiles in this year alone. The latest launch in August even had a missile travel 1,000km and land within Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone.
Negotiations can only occur when parties act in good faith. However, North Korea has a record of breaking its promises and obligations by conducting nuclear tests and missile launches. These provocative actions should NOT be rewarded. Installing THAAD is a reasonable and measured response to North Korea’s unchecked actions.
