North Korea



"North Korea has so many years of terrifying my home for so long, even when it existed on September 9, 1948, the day Kim Il-Sung gave birth to this terrifying military dictatorship. I fear that Kim Jong-un will have the terrifying expansion plan that would choke South Korea down and reunify it into a union of terror."

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Nuclear Missile
