#3 They're sending the strong and healthy out of the cities in an effort to avoid protests, riots, and possibly open revolt.

#4 the role of S Korea in this situation is difficult to understand

if SKorea wanted to it could accept all refugees that made it to China

SKorea has one of the lowest birthrates in the world and needs the people; one could argue that the SKors are afraid they would be forced to reunite the peninsula and don't want to accept all those people but that is not an argument anyone in SKor has, to my knowledge, made

but instead they seem to be trying to send just enough food to the North to keep the govt from falling

#5 mhw, I think the SKors saw what the Germans went through with reunification, and seeing as N Korea is way, way worse off than E Germany ever was, they don't want any part of it.

I would believe that also except that I've never seen any Skor politician say that or write that.

Assuming I'm right that no one has said this and assuming you are right that they all think it, it leads to the conclusion that self censorship is at unheard of levels in SKor

#7 But the north is playing hardball and hard to get.

That and the fact that Kimmie-boy-the-baby-killer is a liar who does not honor his commitments. He has no creadibility, no trustworthiness, or honor.

Fool me once (Madam Halfbright) shame on you Fool me twice (UN) shame on me......

#8 From each according to his ability to digest grass.

To each according to his need to shinny up a tree and strip that last piece of bark.

#9 North Korea has tried to open up its economy, but most available resources have gone to industry, not agriculture.

First I've heard that they are trying to open their economy. Detachment from international currency trading, goods exchanges etc. has been a central part of their ideology for decades. It's a major reason they are exporting so much in the way of weapons and nuclear materials ... that and drugs are the hidden ways the regime gets cash.

#11 We should send them some fertilizer. That 2,4-T works wonders on crops.

#12 I would believe that also except that I've never seen any Skor politician say that or write that.

No South Korean politician would ever say or write that reunion with the North would be worse than the German reunification. At least not any politician with a sense of self preservation.

#13 'moose---the SKors have recently given the Norks 200K tons of fertilizer valued at about $89.5 million. The total fertilizer given has been over 1.55 million tons. Kimmie has a good scam going.
