WW3 Preparations: Amidst Drought North Korean Officials Raid Homes And Farms To Feed Army
SHTF Plan ^ | 1-23-2018 | Mac Slavo

Posted on 01/23/2018 10:19:46 AM PST by blam

North Korean officials are ransacking homes and raiding farms in order to feed their starving army. Not only has the drought taken its toll on the nation, but this newest harsh seizure of food is causing internal clashes between the civilians and the army.

Soldiers for the communist regime had already been given long periods of leave in order to try to find food and make money to purchase food. However, it hasn’t been enough. Collective farms are suffering due to drought and poor harvests, leading officials to ransack farms and homes in order to find any stored food or money that might benefit the army, Daily NK reports.

While North Korean citizens are used to officials searching for food and asking for bribes, their use of increasingly brutal tactics to feed a starving army has led to reported clashes between troops and citizens. Farms in the country have not been able to meet quotas, and in response, officials are giving them new assignments.

“We are suffering because collective farms in our region did not have a good harvest last year and so we were unable to fulfill the mandatory quota for military provisions. All individuals who weren’t able to meet the demands have been receiving additional assignments since the very beginning of January,” a source in South Hamgyong Province reported to Daily NK. “This year, we have to postpone our farm work due to this ‘extremely urgent’ task of gathering food for the military,” the source said.

In the past, individuals were allowed to take leave from farm work to obtain money for fertilizer or farm equipment. But this year, any money is being used to procure food and other items for military use.

“Hard to see the effects of the drought when the place is covered in snow and ice...”
I have a world map on my office wall: North Korea is about the same latitude as Colorado. Yep, winter time and drought is usually not affecting crops when the ground is frozen. Who wrote this crap?

In bark-eating NK, it goes, “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his weeds.”

You’re probably right. It’s one thing for civilians to subsist on bark, but to force a guy who carries a gun to do so risks his using it on you.

This is why I really wonder just how much ammunition the DPRK military even have. They may not have enough to last one day of combat!

Much has been said about how the Norks have enough artillery aimed at Seoul to level it. This makes me wonder how many of those supposed artillery units actually still exist, how many of those which still exist can actually still fire, how much ammo they have, and what condition that ammo is actually in.

"At some point, they either completely collapse due to starvation, or there is a military coup that topples Rocket Man."

Or they invade South Korea where there's plenty of food, and do it while the South is distracted by the Olympics.

See what happens when the USA doesn’t pay the geld that past presidents paid? Perhaps there was some strategery involved in DJT not stomping the stuffings out of NK. Just wait for the inevitable starvation of the Nork military and watch the implosion. Or they lash out and attack the South, and THEY become the bad guys instead of us.

Doesn't bode well for Californians.

If the California welfare system collapses because their tax base has left, and Trump refuses to allow the feds to bail them out, it won't be pretty (short term).

Long term, if the only people who can live in California are the people with actual jobs, things might improve.

I can just imagine a lot of jumbotron screens on the south side of the DMZ with non stop cooking shows and commercials of Burger King, McDonald’s, IHOP and KFC. Throw in a few Texas sized barbeque cookoffs.

“Remember the escaping NK army guys are starving and have stomach worms, etc. Communists everywhere starve.”

With one roly-poly exception. But maybe if the generals keep Kim Jong Fatso’s blubbery face stuffed (errrp), he won’t be inclined (burp) to make war.

Or maybe his generals will get tired of following him everywhere frantically scribbling notes. One pistol shot is all it takes.

Next thing they’ll want is 50% of their tax cut.
