#2 When grain is given to these regimes, it goes straight to the cronies house holds. Never to the people. There should be no resources given to NKorea unless it is smuggled in directly to the people. And with each 50lb bag of wheat or rice, there should be a rifle with a full magazine in that bag of rice.

#4 Whatever food supplies that are not stolen by the elite, are given to the Army. Only if the Army does not need it all do the people get any.

#6 Economic sanctions against a totalitarian dictator like Kim are BS ineffective. The only people ever hurt by economic sanctions are the common people. We proved this in Iraq, Iran, Libya, and now Nork. If you want to oust a regime, you have to put boots on the ground.

Economic sanctions are almost as big a crime as that which the leaders of the country are doing themselves.

Forget economic sanctions, the leaders will always find a way to get their champagne and caviar or Rolls Royce and Yacht. Stupid idea.
