No kidding. I remember all the starvation in India when I was a kid. Something like this will instantly kill millions, then millions more through starvation and disease. I don't know if the world would have enough immediate resources to provide aid in the aftermath. These people have to come to their senses. Several years ago, when I first learned they both had atomic weapons, I got a hollow sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.
"I remember all the starvation in India when I was a kid."
I remember it also. I also remember that we fed those starving Indians and doubled the starving population.
I don't mind us helping them, or anyone else, learning how to feed themselves if the resources of the country are capable of it but starvation is a form of natural population control and shouldn't be fooled with, especially when the resources won't support the population.
