South puts rice aid to North on hold.

The South Korean Red Cross sent 5,000 tons of rice in emergency aid to North Korea in September, a humanitarian gesture that came after months of silence between the two Koreas since the warship sinking. Unification Minister Hyun In-taek, earlier this month, North Korea’s military has saved up to 1 million tons of rice for its officials and soldiers

The winds of hell are being routed into a blast furnace for beloved leader's new forever condo. There may be space in his new digs for Southern leaders willing to starve the kids, but not confront the Devil.

” Southern leaders willing to starve the kids, but not confront the Devil.”

What? You lost me.

North Korea is so FUBAR, how would you ever fix it. The people are like those poor children that have been locked in a closet all of their lives and told lie upon ,lie. I mean everything they know in the world is false. I am not sure they could handle the truth if they realized it.

Regarding your post, I really can’t disagree with it.

Let’s say for the sake of argument that both Koreas are unified sometime in the next 5 years - regardless of how violent the unification was.

The people of North Korea (not to mention the infrastructure) are so emotionally and politically stunted that the cost of reincorporating the North would be almost prohibitive.

Now, that’s not to say that the two Koreas should never be unified. In fact, I look forward to that day. Nonetheless, the process will be an extraordinarily wrenching experience in terms of money. The cost of re-educating, feeding and making the north the equal of the south will be well, A LOT!

Well if the North is giving all the rice to the army you can’t blame the South....

The number two freak Kim Jung-un, soon to be number 1, never missed a meal either.

If you are the only ones with guns, food, and hospitals you would be surprised how receptive people are to your ideas.

That looks photoshopped six ways to sunday. His neck tapers down like a childs balloon. If that truly is a picture of him, We need to be more concerned about him being a space alien.
