#3 That part about the rise in grain prices rings true. That's the sort of thing that good intelligence people are supposed to notice. If I was really motivated I'd go look at commodity prices and see if Debka made it up or not.

#4 An Israeli war with Egypt? Egypt would have to drive through the Sinai desert and Gaza Strip to get to Israel, right? And the troops would be wide open to pounding by Israel's air force the entire time? I seem to recall the last time Egypt tried anything like that, Israeli tanks got halfway to Cairo before a ceasefire was imposed.

#5 No fuel yet. Still building and erecting. It would be interesting to speculate how to bring in the rods [from Iran? from NKOR?] Or do they exist underground in Syria from Saddam's program transfer pre-war? I think another shoe has to drop.

#6 NKor's only real cash crops are nuclear tech and missiles. The tree bark elixir is a bit of an acquired taste, I suspect, due to the high juche content.

#9 I was surprised to learn that Syria produced anything of any worth. There is a poor wheat crop in Syria and production has gone down due to low rainfall. Also consumption has gone up due to the rising number of refugees. Both influences would tend to drive up the price of wheat. 100,000 tons to NK isn't that much of the crop. Wheat for nuclear technology?
