#1 A report that the regime distributed rice reserved for the military, something it did not even do during the famine of the 1990s which claimed more than a million lives, indicates how dire the food shortage is.

That's a...strange interpretation. "Army first" is why the people starved so badly in the 90s. Taking from military food stores and giving to the people indicates the opposite. Well, the "narrative" is already written so the facts must be molded to fit.

#2 Probably enough will starve that next year there should be enough for all. Problem solved - from Kimmie's perspective.

#3 Until they rise up and depose that little troll I have limited sympathy for them.

We should help those who help themselves. If you're going to sit in your house and starve to death with your whole family, I can't do a thing for you.
Having said that, it is a human rights travesty to starve an entire nation while kimmie drinks Hennessey VSOP from his favorite Waterford crystal.

#5 I don't think that would go far, Bulldog.

#6 You mean nuclear fuel isn't edible?

I feel sorry for the North Korean People but propping Kimmie-boy up by giving him food is not the way to solve the problem.

Give the people arms instead.

#7 Re make the "Liberator" pistol we dropped behind enemy lines in WW2 Parachute it and a case of MREs strapped together and watch Kimmie swing from a nearby tree, balcony, or flee for his life, I'm convinced this latest China trip was seeking asylum WHEN (Not IF) he flees
