Kim Jong Un warns that North Korea is running out of food

In interesting admission. What should be done to help them? Would you pay $6.40 for a banana:

 

The welfare of his country is his responsibility since he operates an authoritarian country. At least he can afford the bananas. His admission reminds me of Lori Lightfoot who today admitted that she doesn't know how to fix the crime problem in Chicago. Psssst Lori, go to the chief of police. Tell him you want to fix the crime problem. Ask him what he needs to get the job done. It is that easy for a mayor.

 

if he acted like a reasonable person and stepped down and freed his people, maybe people would want to help

I heard he is trying to lose weight and is on a diet, so he is probably forcing his people to diet too

 

Here you go, from the OP:

 

but he’s like the only fat North Korean

 

yep, but he is a narcissistic dictator and if he is suffering, wants everyone else to as well

 

North Korea has the most evil government in the world. A dictator and his cronies live like multimillionaires in a country where starvation is a leading cause of death, and most adults show lifetime evidence of malnutrition growing up.

 

I'm not exactly aware the the trade blockade against North Korea exactly involves, but it undoubtingly has to do with them being cut off from trade so they can't produce or by the food they need.


It smells that this is like "oil for food program" in Iraq. The west lead by the US, made it impossible for Iraq to purify it's water under the blockade. And so the west lead the US caused Iraq children to die on a massive scale. It was simply genocidal. The response of the US was that this is worth it.

And no matter what you think of North Korea or Iraq. To punish the civilian population and extort them to make the government do something else / be reasonable is called: collective punishment. Collective punishment is a war crime. We agreed on this in the Geneva Conventions. But I guess this is all white privilege that these rights don't count so much when the white inflicts it to yellow or brown people. Saying the extortion is not working and so the government being extorted is the problem, really is not how the Geneva Conventions say how to view this.

 

Kim brought this on his own people, no one else is to blame

 

white privalage?

"Collective punishment is a war crime."

it is, but it doesn't mean what you think it means

 

Actually it's the burden of the US since we're the ones who impose sanctions on nations and starve the people to overthrow their leaders. In Syria we're not only starving them for voting for Assad by imposing sanctions and attacking their economy, but also robbing their oil, burning their wheat fields and stealing their sheep.

I mean, how dare they disobey their masters.

How dare you not do what we say,
for we will always get our way

with sanctions, lies,
that's how we play

Where are the forum members who always propose Communist solutions for America? The forum members who say Communism is a boogeyman? The forum members who believe a utopia will follow banning private ownership of guns?

 

Actually China could have put that sideshow to bed long ago, North Korea has been China's cat's-paw since the Korean War, let THEM feed 'em.

 

It's not just bananas:

Rumours of illness after Kim Jong-un is absent from another key event

Speculation is growing around the health of North Korea’s infamous dictator, after no public appearances for a month.

Fresh reports out of North Korea have revealed Kim Jong-un’s latest struggle as the leader of the closed-off nation.

The elusive dictator on Tuesday addressed a growing crisis in his country’s agricultural sector, which has seen an astronomical rise in everyday items for the citizens of the secluded communist regime.

North Korean state press revealed Kim admitted the situation was “getting tense” with staple foods skyrocketing as a result of intense storm damage to the state’s produce industry.

Good lord. She is defending north korea.

 

I didn’t read it that way. More of a misplaced intentions policy by us and others. Because we hate Kim Un
We knowingly starve millions of North Koreans. I don’t know any North Koreans but if similar to South Koreans
Then I’d guess I would like them the same. Would be more humane to send a drone or two or 100 and take out Un and his military command in surgical strikes. Starving the people of NK seems like Piling on.

 

I'm defending the human beings that we are killing indirectly, and which you see as inconsequential for some reason or other - although I have my suspicions.. So tell me, what have the Korean people done to you personally that makes you so indifferent to their lives?

 

Food is quite cheap in China, unless Kim Jong Un doesn't have the funds to buy it. Anyway it seems to me that Russia and Iran will end up feeding N. Korea as they do Syria. Hmmm, I wonder what Iran will want in return? As for Russia, cheap labor for its major sea port.

I read once that the N. Koreans actually pay Kim to work in Russia. They see it as a dream job compared to China.

 

He got his nukes and his missiles. Eat them.

 

When I was in South Korea, I found the people well mannered and friendly - a few steps above the Japanese who are well mannered and racist. I have a book autographed by one of Korea's top female authors. I can't read it but I certainly appreciate it. She gave it to me as a gift after a dinner at her home in Seoul to which she invited me with her and her family. What makes you think I'm indifferent to anybody's life. Inventing that sentiment isn't good enough.

 

Lies aren't an effective retort.

 

Which korean people? North or South?

 

These Korean kewpie dolls are the most talented kids in the world. Why would anyone want to kill them? Okay, so they have a population of 25 million, but still that's an awful lot of prodigies even for that many people. I assume these are special schools.

The North Koreans, we're not sanctioning the South Koreans. We just want to arm the South Koreans so they can kill their brothers.

What part of sanction don't you understand?

 

He means the North. Kim is whining for money and he thinks we kill people because we don't give it to him. If he had excess food rotting in storage he would make the same claims. It is bizarre nonsense without any semblance of common sense.

 

Kim has his nukes for good reason. Ghadaffi trusted Washington and gave up his nukes, and you saw what trusting the US got him. So there's no way Kim is going to give up his nukes without a security guarantee by Russia - something Russia was willing to do according to the road map they had made up with China.

Germany agreed with the road map, and Kim was considering it at the time. I don't know what happened after that, but there was supposed to be a gradual disarming of South Korea that somehow we weren't willing to do.

Anyway when Bolton went to work out something with Kim, he mentioned the terms Ghadaffy agreed to and that's all that was needed to scare Kim off. Was it deliberate and did he do it to screw Trump? I think so.
