**PREPARE** for a famine ?? What do they call what the North Koreans have been experiencing for the last 2+ decades, "Lil' Kim's Extreme Diet" ????

Kind of like telling Floridians to prepare for warm weather.

All except fat boy dear leader of course.

well the fat man leader ain’t going without you can bet on that

[AppyPappy]

We can nuke people but we can’t feed them.

Its progress. All previous times, they didn’t get a warning.

[North Korea warns citizens to prepare for famine]

Have those people known anything else? The Commies have had them starving since the Korean War.

Chewing the roots of plants...ah, the good old days.
Those days when there were enough roots for all!
Now it’s just bark, bark, bark!
Or as Hillary! would say, “Arf, Arf, ARF!”.

I wonder what the NK man-on-the-street thinks about their Dear Reader?........................

[BlackAdderess]

Those poor souls.

[Trump20162020]

Yet Kim Jong-un's waistline keeps expanding.

The sanctions don't do anything but starve the ordinary peasants in that country, and they're never going to revolt no matter how hungry they get.

[jimmygrace]

Al-ric Bald-rin would go for a famine about now...

[r_barton]

Their Deer Leader, Wo Fat, ate all the food. ;-)

[muglywump]

From the article: “The Telegraph reports that the country has also requested nearly half a million tons of food aid from other countries. As of last month, however, only 17,600 tons had arrived.”

NK is in effect asking ‘other countries’ to subsidize/underwrite its military expenditures. The NK leadership is making the choice to spend on guns instead of on butter.

The answer is regime change.

Maybe this is part and parcel for how the North operates.

What money they can’t get from extortion, they get from pleading with world relief organizations.

>>What a stinking country with stinking leadership.<<

Important point: this is a perfect example of how humans can be beaten down to a point where they refuse to fight back and they would rather starve to death than fight. Not unlike the Nazi concentration camps during WWII. Horrible.
