Iran Or North Korea - Who is the Biggest Nuclear Threat?

With the political battle going on in Iran and the national anthem named "Death to America" to the sick and twisted mind of Kim Jong-Il in North Korea using Hawaii as target convention for nuclear weapons, it is hard to determine on thing. Who is the biggest threat? There are many issues surrounding these claims that the countries would pose a threat to America and the world. The distinct views of the citizens of these countries view Americans and other habitancy as loving habitancy and don't want to bring harm to anyone. There are many who feel that there is a threat that is fueled by distinct rumors and assumptions. Many habitancy feel that there is a bigger threat than both these countries. But behind the Parliament doors, it is a distinct story.

In Iran there is, as stated earlier, a national anthem called "Death to America". Many would view this as an empty threat and that it is just a time old tradition that the Iranian habitancy sing to support their country. Others view this as a threat that they will attack America when they can. It is difficult to determine to what is the meaning of national anthem when parliament allowed for it to be sung time and time again. 

Nuclear Power

In North Korea, there have been many threats of leader Kim Jong-Il to America and other countries saying statements like, "If any country along with America interfere with the missile activate then they will pay." This automatically will give anything the impression that this is a world threat from North Korea. Others view this as a childhood spat and ignore the threat to be all in "good fun". Sarcasm is the scapegoat that many reporters view it as. 

With the many issues surrounding these two countries, time will tell who the biggest threat is. Many habitancy in the world are preparation for anything to happen and there have been many reports to what the two countries are doing to fuel the fire of the assumptions. In the world there are many conflicts. Recognizing and acknowledging the strife will allow you to see what is coming in the future. Iran and North Korea have their moments where they show the peace loving country they have. It is hard to see in a world that views violence as a way of life. For many in Iran and North Korea, this is fact.

Out of the house churches of rural Iran, a Christian masquerading as a Muslim gains the confidence of a high-ranking leader in the Iranian nuclear program and opens his eyes to Christianity. The man's newfound faith stirs his desire to flee to the West, taking with him intelligence that would allow Coalition forces to neutralize his nation's devastating capabilities. But no one in such a position could ever escape unnoticed. Enter Blake Kershaw, a highly trained US Special Forces officer who has already made extraordinary sacrifices for his country that include faking death and losing his true identity.

Japan Nuclear Threat - Cyclone Season About To Start

The 9.1 earthquake in Japan has created an positively startling tragedy given the resulting tsunami and nuclear meltdown problem. The country deserves a bit of good news, but doesn't seem primed to get it. No, now Japan is about to enter cyclone season.

It is positively difficult to understate the earthquake damage in Japan. 9.1 is a huge number, but reconsider the aftershocks the country has had. Since "the big one", it has had 40 quakes of magnitude in excess of 6.0. To give you a sense of how this compares to other tremors, the Northridge earthquake in greater Los Angeles was a 6.7. It caused 8.7 billion in damages, killed 33 citizen and left 8,700 injured. That is just one quake!

Nuclear Power

As the seasons roll over, Japan now comes to a rough one. The first cyclones can start rolling in as soon as May. This presents a rather gigantic problem. The reactors at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi power middle point are still sitting damaged structures. Well, damaged is a minor understatement. Reactor 3 looks like a pile of rubble. This lends itself to the rather inevitable inquire of what happens if a typhoon with 100 plus mile an hour winds rolls through the area?

Is there any good news? Yes. Most of the typhoons that hit Japan tend to stay to the southern end of the country. The Fukushima Dai-Ichi plant is, of course, in the north. Having said this, the area where the plant is placed was hit directly or skirted with no less than 8 different typhoons in 2004. If this were to happen again in 2011, the results are hard to fantasize but would positively be horrific given the state of the reactors as they sit today.

Then there is the inquire of the impact on sea currents. As we all know, the radiation from the power plant is currently primarily arrival in the form of radiated water. This water is being dumped in one form or someone else into the ocean. Authorities claim it isn't a problem, but it is no private that the majority of the Japanese diet comes in the form of seafood. The current threat is bad enough, but what happens when typhoons start stirring up the seas along Japan?

The most troubling aspect of all of this is the fact the problems with the reactor seem to have fallen off the table with news outlets. Many citizen are now under the impression the reactors are no longer leaking radiation. They are. The news outlets plainly do not article about it any longer. Now that is a tragedy.
