Parts of North Korea are expected to run out of food in less than two months due to a poor harvest even if foreign donors agree to provide assistance, a US relief group said Wednesday. Samaritan's Purse, one of five US groups that visited the impoverished communist state in February, said that a harsh winter killed crops and some North Koreans were already eating grass, leaves and tree bark. "We believe that, in many of the areas that we visited, in mid-June they're going to run out of food," said Ken Isaacs, the Christian-oriented group's vice president for programs and government relations. http://www.google.com/m/url?client=...cQFjAC&usg=AFQjCNGY6kmovPOoxF2rKMMniauIfaNXzQ NKorea holds massive rally condemning SKorea gov't - Yahoo! News The people are starving to death and the government is making more threats. I can't see how this can turn out good. The people are desprate and the government is lead by an insane despot.
They can trade their nuclear weapons to us for all the corn, rice, wheat, pork, and beef that they can use. If not, tuff chit. These people could revolt and overthrow that tyrant if they cared enough. Its up to them.
Objectively, if eating grass is good enough for Coach Miles, it is good enough for a bunch of North Koreans.
What keeps the people from rising up and hanging the entire government? I guess the military and it's leadership is so powerful that nothing can change. I would bet the soilders aren't eating grass. I wonder if the north Korean people actually know just how prosperous the people in south Korea are. South Korea should be doing all it can to inform and educate the north Koreans about how good life can be. East Germany has grown by leaps and bounds since reunification with west Germany. North Korea would prosper in the same way. I think china wants a north Korea to exist to act as a buffer aginst the west. If it wasn't for china's support of north Korea the government of north Korea would have already fallen. China should be nervous about north Korea starting a war. A war between the two Koreas would draw the U. S. into it. Would china come to the aid of north Korea again if a war would break out. A war between north Korea and south Korea could be a flashpoint for a war between china and the west. If it wasn't for china the people of north Korea wouldn't be eating grass.
