    THAAD

    Recently in debate, I have been debating a certain topic on North Korea. We were debating whether America should deploy anti-missile defense system in the South Korea. Do you think that South Korea needs THAAD to fend against North Korea in times of escalating tensions or is THAAD the cause of rising tensions?

    The only feasible solution lies in South Korea in their development of the KAMD or Korean Air and Missile Defense. This program can sufficiently protect the South Korean people while appeasing Chinese aggression.

    KAMD incorporates the existing missile defense systems such as Patriot missiles and the Aegis system but adds the Cheolmae-2 and Cheolmae-4 which is still in development and uses the best technology in the world. That technology is the s-400 made by Russia which has double the capabilities of the U.S. THAAD system. It also allows for South Korea to take wartime operational control of U.S. forces.
