True, but when you don't feed your people, that cost is more easily met. I read last week that the Chinese are considering stopping shipments of rice, becuase every time a train is sent into NK, it's unloaded, then the trains are "confiscated".
i heard that. i also heard theat if a poor man eats a chicken, at least one of them is sick. each time jong launches a missile, he eats a chicken.
