North Korea launched a missile February 12, 2017 while Japan's prime minister, Shinzo Abe, met with United States President Donald Trump. Although the missile launch was not aimed at harming any particular county nearby like South Korea or Japan, it had a message of foreboding. North Korea was able to complete and schedule this launch without any attention from South Korea-something even more terrifying. But when the missile launched, it was just another message of what power North Korea had and what they could do after they noticed Japan's close relations with the US. After this launch test, however, it gave an opportunity for South Korea and Japan to update their defense systems as a precaution. Whether or not this was just an attempt to scare South Korea and Japan or actually plan an attack is not in questions since North Korea has done this many times before. It is scary to realize that North Korea has preparations for anything, but it is not as terrifying as they hoped due to the fact that South Korea and Japan are on our side. As long as Trump keeps Japan and South Korea in good relations, we have nothing to fear.

That is scary that North Korea can just launch a missile just because. I hope this just doesn't get out of hand because the world doesn't need another war.
