To give them any aid would to be an accomplice in their continued enslavement.

[Secret Agent Man]

You can’t assume the aid we give them gets to starving poor people. It’d be the first time in the history of dictatorships if that actually happened.

They run cameras for some token poor people eating, then as soon as the filming is done, that food is going to the poltical top mucky mucks and their families and friends and the military. Like in every African dictatorship we’ve tried this in.

Actually, the Norks get quite a bit of international humanitarian aid. Like most cases of starvation in the world, the reason for the starvation is political. In the case of North Korea, nearly every bit of that aid goes straight to their military, I believe the 3rd or 4th largest in the world.

The "famine" is directly due to the will of their "dear leader."
