[release] WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials are in Beijing to discuss with North Korean officials the possibility of providing food aid to the impoverished country.U.S. special envoy for North Korean human rights issues Robert King and senior U.S. aid official Jon Brause will meet with North Korea's director for American affairs, Ri Gun.A State Department official said the American officials arrived Wednesday in the Chinese capital and talks will start on Thursday.The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity before the formal announcement of the talks, said they will discuss a possible nutritional assistance program.The U.S. has been cautious in extending aid to the nuclear-armed country because of concerns food could be diverted to the military.[/release] [URL]http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5h6L8slHDkYG0ZVaWNWM2BO6mly9w?docId=a613320d81b74299af9ff8f78000bd5a[/URL]
No.
[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;33720245]Yeah lets make them starve with their food crisis, Good idea[/QUOTE] Im pretty sure he thinks that NK will divert the food to the military. He is probably right, seeings how supposedly most of their agricultural products and manufacturing are for the huge army they have.
This "Best Korea :downs:" shit is getting incredibly old, just saying.
[QUOTE=Scar;33720313]This "Best Korea :downs:" shit is getting incredibly old, just saying.[/QUOTE] No its not
Too bad we can't just handle it like the Russian famine in 1921. Fed 10 million people, and successfully avoided allowing the filthy communists to take it and distribute it to its wealthy supporters--not to say they didn't try. The key to their success being that we actually had military go in and distribute the food by district instead of dropping in the country, saying "lol here you go! now don't misuse it you silly communists," and expecting that to actually deter them. Also, agree with Scar. Drop this "best korea" bullshit, that shitty meme has no place in news about a country that is quite seriously fucked beyond repair with millions of people starving and freezing to death on the daily.

For what they know they really are "Best Korea numbah 1!!!!" Plus, do you ever see American soldiers in North Korea handing out food? It just wouldn't happen.

Because if they actually bought into that, they wouldn't be fleeing through China into South Korea, Burma, Thailand, etc. I guess your perception of these people is that they're going to lay down and starve because someone says it's for the good of the nation? Sorry, it doesn't work like that, and that's not the reality they live with. No, they don't think BEST KOREA NUMBAH ONE, they think "I have no shoes, no coat, it is thirty below freezing, I haven't eaten in a week, and if I try to run I will be killed." They're not animals, they're fucking human beings, you twat. And no, I don't see soldiers handing out food in NK. You don't really see them doing it in communist Russia either, but they did. And they did it well. They revived the rail-lines, paid thousands of men in wheat to operate and repair trains and tracks, fed MILLIONS of people. And they did it despite the Russian people "supporting" (actually "trapped in," but I'll say supporting for your disillusioned sake) the enemy and a horrible communist regime ... much like the situation North Korea is in now.

You'll never see war between them then.

Letting the elite take the food from people who need it and waste more American dollars on foreigners? [I]Why?[/I]
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;33720660]Not necessarily a bad thing - your army's eating is dependent on this country?

Food will be diverted to important political figures and the few who have enough money to donate to the regime in order to keep their government alive. [QUOTE=Cone;33720661]But people weren't monumental dicks back then. Or at least, it wasn't as obvious.[/QUOTE] Yes they were. In fact, Pres. Wilson and Hoover (during his time as head of FDA) had to convince Congress and the American people that sending food to Russia would result in a loyalty shift away from communist Russia towards the United States and bolster the fight against communism. We weren't doing it out of the goodness of our hearts.

Let them starve, get pissed, overthrow their own government. We've got our own problems to worry about, like our own starving people. Somebody else play world police, we need to go home and do our chores.

No offense, but that sounds pretty dumb.

Good, the people in North Korea are starving, and generations of people are getting stupider as a result of early malnourishment. It's really really bad there [editline]14th December 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=JumpinJackFlash;33722194]Let them starve, get pissed, overthrow their own government.

[QUOTE=Sand;33720397]No its not[/QUOTE] Yes it is, we get so many threads "Best Korea gonna make weapons! OH NO!" and stuff like that and people have taken the sarcasm semi-seriously at this point.

My personal opinion is that if something doesn't directly bother us, or could be a potential threat, stay the fuck away. I don't see anyone giving a shit about the people starving here, impoverished for a multitude of reasons. Then again, why should they? As we all know, all those poor whites in Detroit (which is 99.9% white like all of America, God Bless Her) just throw away their free steaks and shit, so fuck 'em! [editline]Oh and[/editline] I realize, fully well, I've started in the past that we should decapitate the DPRK leadership, invade the country, let the South Koreans unfuck the heads of their northern kin and set up elections but I realize now I was wrong. That country won't change unless it changes itself, much like the rest of the world and people in general. I'm getting more and more disillusioned with the foreign policy of the US and cynical towards the world's expectation that we should "share the wealth" we don't have.
