The found shortages are a terror weapon used by Kim's government to control its population while it is using the arable land to grow poppies. There is a plethora of evidence that much of the food that is sent to PDK ultimately finds its way either into the hands of the military, or on the black market to the financial benefit of the ruling class. All of this helps keep the killing machine going.

Point of order: North Korea is a socialist country, so what you say can't be true. There is no 'ruling class'. Everybody is equal, and resources are distributed to each citizen based on his need. Also, only capitalist imperialists maintain over-sized armies. Come on, Sthich, you should know this stuff.
