Then the kicker........ the hillariously funny kicker.
Kim lacks the money to buy ink to print his worthless currency
They can trade Soviet type ammo for food.
They seem to have lots of ammo.
This is what happens when the population is disarmed.
“. . . increasingly more difficult.”
This creates a good opportunity for the Mexican Cartels. They could take over NK. They would have the printing presses for making fake dollars and have nukes too.
Communism and famine go together like peas and carrots.
Kim does not care about his people.
There is always enough food to feed him and his buddies!
Only in free countries rulers care about the people!
I will never forget the man raised in NK, who I heard on Dennis Prager’s program. Evil, like concentration camps in Nazi Germany. I think that entire country is a Prison camp. That most of the world knows this is sickening.
Time to send another check.
North Korea has 25 million people with an average annual per capita income of $640 or $1.75 per day. After accounting for the ruling elite and the military, 90% of North Koreans exist on less than $1.40 per day.
Although the highest elevation in North Korea is only 9,003 feet, 80% of the country consists of mountains and uplands. Except for the western coastal plain, there are few natural lines of communication. There are only 450 miles of paved roads, poorly maintained. 3200 miles of railways transport 86% of freight. Less than 2% of freight is moved via water.
North Korea’s power grid is obsolete and failing. 70% of energy production is from coal.
The Korean Demilitarized Zone remains one of the most heavily fortified borders in the world. During the winter months, the weather along the Yalu River, which is the northern border of North Korea, experiences subzero Fahrenheit daily mean and daily low temperatures.
When (not if) the government of North Korea collapses, it is likely to occur during the winter, and it will result in one of the largest humanitarian disasters the world has ever seen. Due to hunger, disease, lack of winter survival clothing, and transportation infrastructure, most of the population will be faced with dying in place.
There have been no lack of simulations, war games, exercises, and table tops to plan for this. Most have come to the conclusion that even given a large multi-national coalition response, there are insufficient logistics and transportation resources in the rest of the world to provide a timely and effective response.
Dirt shortage in North Korea since the people have eaten it all.
Send them the VAX! Population sure to drop.
