Kim Jong Un Will Not Give Up All Of North Korea's Weapons, But There Still Might Be A Chance At An Agreement With The U.S.

The American government wants the North Korean government to give up nuclear weapons in a verifiable, completed, and irreversible manner.

Trump and Kim Jong Un, North Korean leader, will meet in Vietnam this weekend.

They met before in Singapore. They both expected to sign the agreement to end the Korean War. But they still did not reach an agreement yet. Donald Trump and America distrusted the North Korean government and did not think they were truly willing to give up the nuclear weapon. The American government wants the North Korean government to give up nuclear weapons in a verifiable, completed, and irreversible manner. However, Kim seems not satisfied for this requirement.

Kim Jong Un will not give up weapons, that is true. And the agreement cannot be reached fully. North Korea is a socialist country where nuclear weapons are used to maintain the stability of the country instead of protecting the safety of North Korean. The autocracy system has always been challenged by American and other Western governments. However, if Kim gives up the important nuclear missiles, then North Korea will be easily cracking down due to the powerful military power from the U.S. and elites.

Kim Jong Un lives in a very exclusively imperial world. In his horizon, there is no North Korea. Only foods, wines, and girls can satisfy his needs. The large waste of resources and money have deprived people's income for whatever he wants. This kind of autocracy is preserved with the strong military force and the brainwashed education of North Korea. If the military forces are suspended, the West will quickly encouraged the North Korean pro-democracy groups of people to ignite the revolution to overturn the North Korea government.

Therefore, it is too early to say that the North Korean government can have a perfect deal with the American government. The American government is not silly. They clearly understand that North Korea may tear the agreement contracts. The Chinese government is also not willing to help America solve the missile issues because of the geographic and political relations. However, it is still possible that the North Korean government could gradually open its door to the world, though the political system is consistent. It is always better than nothing.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
