Daniel Politi wrote an article on December 23rd about North Korea’s status
in missile technology. He says that according to South Korean officials, debris
from a test rocket launch show that the North Koreans have the capability of
firing a missile that could reach more than 6,200 miles away, an area which
includes the United States. However, Politi reassures his readers that they don’t
have the technology to deliver a nuclear strike through that missile. In
addition, South Korean officials believe the North Koreans could have
connections with Iran judging from the remains of the rocket. Politi says how
this launch test has been a “huge boost to young leader Kim Jong-un” and that
the “scientists and technicians involved in the development of the rocket” were
greatly rewarded.
The author’s purpose in writing this article was to inform his readers
about North Korean missile technology, but reassuring them that no nuclear
attack will occur in the near future. Politi quotes several people and credible
sources which make his information more reliable. He provides more information
surrounding the subject, yet is successful in keeping the article short and
easier to read.
