I wonder what the NK man-on-the-street thinks about their Dear Reader?........................
Those poor souls.
Or Eskimos to prepare for snow.
That’s one thing all of socialism has in common....the leadership always eats.
The sanctions don't do anything but starve the ordinary peasants in that country, and they're never going to revolt no matter how hungry they get.
Perhaps they need to resurrect Euell Gibbons.
perhaps the best way to deal with the North Korean enemy is to just let them starve to death
It costs us nothing
