North Korea instructed the country Monday to brace itself for possible famine and severe economic hardship — but not to despair, because “the road to revolution is long and arduous,” according to an editorial in the state-run newspaper.
The article, published in Rodong Sinmun — the print mouthpiece of the North Korean government — comes less than a month after the U.N. Security Council voted in favor of slapping the Hermit Kingdom with tougher sanctions, after the country teased its potential nuclear and military capabilities earlier this year. The editorial stated that hardships to come might evoke another “arduous march” — the term assigned to the famine that struck the country in the mid-1990s, killing as many as 3 million people, reports the Telegraph, a British newspaper.
“We may have to go on an arduous march, during which we will have to chew the roots of plants once again,” the editorial piece read.

[...people will just have to tighten their belts...]
What belts, all they wear are worn out rags.
So, they will no longer be allowed to eat grass clippings? (true)
Unfortunately, they'd probably kill each other trying to get the food. Food drops are usually a bad idea for that reason.
There’s good news and bad news, comrades.
The good news is that production of rice cookers is up 450%. The bad news is there’s no rice...and no electricity...and no trucks to deliver the rice cookers...and....
I can hear the SJWs shrieking, “No! Not THAT socialism - the real-world socialism found in history!”
Sanders’ folks want the OTHER kind of socialism - the kind found in fiction and fairy tales.
Unlike the Eskimos having many words for snow,
the North Korean word for snow is “dessert.”
They’re under double-secret famine. And if they screw up one more time, they’re out!
“We shall have pizza in our time!”
“All we are saying is give pizza a chance.”
It’s a totally socialist country. Why don’t all of them just go on welfare and collect food stamps? ;-)
“I wonder what the NK man-on-the-street thinks about their Dear Reader?........................”
like the book- 1984
better not reveal your thoughts!
They actually TEST their citizens-
See a “tourist” taking pictures- better report it
see a citizen NOT hang the picture of “dear leader”
better report it-
get caught with: a bible verse, praying to God, not
acknowledging dear leader as God...
Oh wait I am now REPEATING the Democrat Party planks!!
This is not a joke, this is just sad:
What do Haiti and North Korea have in common?
The people both eat dirt.
Well, at least electricity is plentiful!
Is it that time of the yea already?
It won’t be too bad. The first half to die will be eaten by the half that live. The problem sorts itself out.
By the way. Always remind liberals that North Korea is a true social democracy. Every votes and they all vote for dear leader.
Shall we assume the ugly fat one who runs the place won’t be ‘doing without’?
This is the template that the elites have for us.
We are the only free people remaining on the planet that can fight and defeat the elites in their attempt to impose a global police state.< p>It's a matter of grinding us down over time - destroying our culture, destroying our spirit.
Absolutely and it represents the worst of all humanity. Because, once they have ground us down, very bad things happen.
It is NEVER the utopia that the Left, Socialists and Communists claim it should be. Why? Because humans can never be trusted with absolute power. Even the best person with the best of intentions can AND WILL be corrupted. Humans are inherently bad. It is in our nature to be bad.
Euell Gibbons, actually his North Korean name is ...
Eur Gib Un.
