What new information has emerged?

What has emerged now, is that America has finally made their decision. Their decision is, that they shall give protection to North Korea, if they are not going to use their nuclear weapons. North Korea is happy with it, because not only they get protection, but also they will get lots of oil. It is still unknown what they are going to do with the oil.

What did you find interesting about the topic?

I thought it was an interesting article, because North Korea is a country with a lot of trouble. Now they want to use other countries to help them. It is interesting that North Korea has so many nuclear weapons which could do much harm to the world. America and other countries are going to stop that by giving protection to North Korea.

What did you like about the initial blog posting ?

I liked that America and the other countries had decided that they will protect North Korea, so that they won’t make nuclear weapons anymore. I found it interesting that this conversation is already very old and that it is finally over. The last thing I found interesting was that so many countries were involved in this, and that were some of the most powerful countries in the world.
