[quote=CNN]Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- The South Korean Red Cross will deliver tons of government-funded aid to North Korea next month, according to the Yonhap news agency.
Seoul revealed earlier this month that it would donate 5,000 tons of rice and other aid to its communist neighbor.
Yonhap says the rice shipment will depart October 25 from the port of Gunsan, about 170 miles (275 kilometers) southwest of Seoul. It will be delivered to the North Korean city of Sinuiju, according to Yonhap, which borders the Chinese town of Dandong.
The news agency also says more aid will be delivered in stages, including 10,000 tons of cement, medical goods and 3 million packs of instant noodles.
Funding for the shipments will come from taxpayer money earmarked for projects that will improve relations with the North, according to Yonhap, after a review by a South Korean government committee on inter-Korean exchanges.[/quote]
This is surprising? I guess it's nice that they want to help, but I feel that North Korea will still do something rude to SK
:10bux: say it's poisoned.
I bet the aid is poisoned.
Damn ninjas
North korea will probaly not tell their citizens about this and say "THE GREAT LEADER GREW 5,000 TONS BY HIMSELF"
Could be a reaction to the possible power shift, get the new guy early and he might think the south isn't that bad and it could lower the tensions.
:golfclap: bravo if so, but I don't see it working.
Wow, those government officials can throw a hundred feasts in name of their Great Leader with these supplies!

Why on earth would they do something so monumentally stupid?

They also use it for political leverage, iirc they threatened to take away aid during the early days of NK's nuclear program.

Probably something along those lines. That's what the USSR did with all the wheat they bought from the US - they even rebagged it in Soviet bags before distributing it. They sometimes did the same for weapons back in WW2, when the US gave them Nazi-killing tools under Lend-Lease.

A lot of North Koreans have family in South Korea, so if they poisoned it they'd make not only NK mad, but also the families in SK.
Either 1: Officials gather up food for themselves.
Or 2: The great leader has made a glorious gift for you, the people, with his bare hands, praise him!
I wish we could watermark the stuff so that the North Korean civilians can see that people outside the country are actually caring about them.
That or slip propaganda leaflets inside the packages.
Kim Jong-Il's gonna have a lot of instant noodles to get through!
Kim jong il could poison the rice and make the Sk's seem evil.
[QUOTE=Atwal;25073923]Kim jong il could poison the rice and make the Sk's seem evil.[/QUOTE]
or SK could poison the rice and say the Kim Jong Il did it in an effort to make SK look bad
North Korea will steal the means of transportation that is used to send the aid up.
why would SK help them (unless it is poison)

Then how do you explain crates of South Korean rice outside my house a few hours ago?

**bows**
When it get's to the North Korean civilians (if ever), they will probably be told it was "liberated" from a South Korean outpost. It's happened before, with bags of rice with "US" stamped on them show up on the black market.
This is if it ever gets to the civilians, almost all of the aid North Korea receives is diverted to the Communist party's inner circle.

Great leader, only you can explain such puzzling situations with your vast knowledge

Was that before or after he singlehandedly destroyed an American armoured column?
[QUOTE=DrLuke;25073484]:10bux: say it's poisoned.[/QUOTE]
why would it be?
they only want to kill the leaders, not [i]everyone[/i]

south korean leaflets have been deployed in north korea before i believe

Like I said, the leaders are the only people getting the supplies.
Why shouldn't SK provide aid? In the event that North Korea's current 'government' was to collapse I wouldn't be surprised if SK ended taking control of the area.

Surely I'm not the only one who thinks that gimmick accounts are stupid, and should be perma-bannable.

Nah I think they're kind of funny
I knew about this days ago
And when heard I had a feeling the citizens would never know who brought aid to them.
