The North Korean government has called on its people to wage an all-out battle against a record heatwave as the countrys already fragile crops face drought and the authorities struggle to respond. The drought represented an unprecedented natural disaster, reported the Rodong Sinmun newspaper, the mouthpiece of the ruling Workers party. It urged citizens to join the struggle to save food production in a country that is no stranger to famine. Temperatures have reached more than 40C (104F) in some regions since late July and there have been sporadic reports of deaths from the heat. {snip}
In South Korea, far wealthier than its northern neighbour, there have been at least 29 deaths caused by the heat and more than 3 million head of livestock have been killed.

Ill be the first to say it. Trumps fault.
North Korea ?
Crops ?
Isn’t that an oxymoron or sumpin ?
1 cups crushed, free bark
2 cups rainwater
1 tsp dirt
1 TBSP dried or crushed grass
Why don’t those heathen commies get down on their knees and pray to a higher force for rain. It couldn’t hoyt.
They don’t understand any such thing. YET.
What may be getting set up here is the “kindness that leads unto repentance” scenario. It’ll start with American, South Korean, Japanese, and maybe Chinese aid.
As lasting business relationships grow with a rebuilding North Korea, guerilla Christians will come in as well. There’s every reason for them to want to do that. One major thing being the old reputation of pre-communism Pyongyang, North Korea as the “Jerusalem of the East.” Satan didn’t want to see a new hurrah there, and induced North Korea to be one of the most closed societies on earth. But it looks like it might not last. Its irresistable force met with an immovable object: Donald Trump. Praise the Lord for raising up Donald Trump. Less hard edged GOP figures would still be playing rope a dope with North Korea.
No mention of global warming. Odd.
There is no charity in war. Cold war or otherwise. You fight to win. We are at war with NK.
I’m in Japan . Hottest summer since I moved here 32 years ago . Has hardly rained for about a month .
That could be the straw that breaks the proverbial camel’s back.
