So Fatboi gets what he wanted by firing missiles. 8 million to continue playing with nukes. Brilliant. Guess we’ll be throwing him a billion soon for “humanitarian aid” as well. It looks like rewarding bad behavior to me.

[Karl Spooner]

Here's a tough one, too. Would you want to be involved in floating bibles to North Korea knowing that the people who are found with them are executed? The NORKS even lie in ambush for the unsuspecting souls to come along and pick them up.

Gota love this retaliation by the NORKS for this. It reminds me of what the left wing garbage would do in this country.

The people of North Korea are thoroughly brainwashed from birth with information exclusively from their despotic and cruel dictator. The South is trying one of the very few ways to get through to some of them before landing among them.

Reagan said “a hungry child knows no politics”, and gave food aid to Ethiopia even though he didn’t trust their government.
Both the U.S. and South Korea have given humantarian aid before. It will have no effect on the U.S.-South Korean relationship. We’re still on the same side.

[tumblindice]

Giving up their milk money? Bad move.

[Mr Radical]

I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but I don't think it's EVER a good idea to let children starve or go without medical care, no matter how much you hate their government.

Stand by ... the reason children in NK are starving and go without medical care is NOT because we deny them humanitarian aid, but because Fat Boy Kim is content to see them suffer for his political ends; however well-intentioned, humanitarian aid to NK doesn't go direct to the people of NK, their government decides how it is spent so ultimately it only props up that government and perpetuates the peoples suffering.

[Yosemitest]

I agree.
It's a VERY BAD MOVE.
Never give a bully what he wants.
All this "aid" will go to their military, and no one else, just like it has ... every time it was done before !
Destroy North Korea, and clean up the survivors AFTER you defeat their communist leaders and military !
That's the ONLY WAY to help their people !

“Remove all US troops from S Korea NOW”

I’ve been saying this for months and nobody here ever responds . It’s not only the fact SK is turning left , it’s also because our people are sitting ducks and have no reason to be there . It’s not 1950 . Bring our troops home !

[momincombatboots]

Agreed.

“South Korea approved a plan on Thursday to send $8 million worth of humanitarian aid to North Korea”

What f’n @$$h^*^$! NOKO is spending millions on their rocket program and these jerks are worried about humanitarian aid....go figure.

[kenmcg]

Let them starve and maybe then one of the men around “Rocket Man” will have the cajones to take him out.

[Jmouse007]

There is absolutely nothing to be "torn" about. NK's people are starving and dying because the Stalinist, communist NK government is INTENTIONALLY STARVING ITS OWN PEOPLE and has been doing so for decades in order to keep their entire population (except for portions of the ruling class and the military), subserviant, weak, docile, controlled and absolutely, totally dependent upon the utterly crule "benevolence" of the NK government and its false dictator god-king.

North Korea has had, and currently has enough financial resources to feed its entire population. But the insane, nefaroious, mad midget Rocket Man running the country and all of his predecessors have CHOSEN too allocate and use those resources to fund NK's military and never ending, ever increasing weapons development programs specifically designed to threaten and kill their neighbors and America.

The overwhelming majority of ALL of the foreign aid and food that has been foolishly given NK in the past has nearly all gone to feed and prop up NK's military personnel. Very little, if any goes to the people and what does is presented to its brain washed population as a "gift" coming directly from their false god-king.

From infancy the population is taught to hate and kill. Rocket Man will never stop in his mad rush to build a nuclear arsenal and ICBM's capable of killing his neighbors America, you and your family, NEVER! The man is a rabid, ruthless, mad dog and the only solution is to "put him down".

Those have been and are the facts concerning the hermit kingdom of North Korea and Rocket Man. Not one penny of aid, not one grain of rice should be donated or given to NK until Fat boy Rocket Man (along with the entire Kim dynesty) is killed or permanently removed from power, NK gives up and destroys its ENTIRE nuclear weapons program, its population is freed, its gulags are emptied and its offensive military is totally dismantled and a small military is created and restructured and restricted to and for defensive purposes only as in Japan.

Until the above takes place, every penny, every grain of rice donated is used by NK to keep this detestable regime in power, enslave its own population and seek to threaten and destroy free South Korea, its neighbors and America. Therefore it is the height of insanity to give ANYTHING to North Korea, its insane leader or his country which wants to kill and destroy us.

I said on another thread a few months ago that our troops in South Korea should be re-deployed to the U.S. - Mexican border.

I still believe that.

[McGruff]

On condition of Kim Dum Son’s head received on a platter.

[Wuli]

Stupid, pacifist, Left-influenced, China-influenced head of South Korea.

They have no assurance that the “humanitarian aid” will go to humanitarian purposes. It will not go to those barely living and dying in the gulag of political prisoner & forced labor camps or anyone else in true need. Most of it will wind up feeding the underfed rank and file soldiers.
