"...Zimbabwe is what we could become if we allow our farmers to go broke..."
That bears repeating.

I'm sorry but I refuse to donate anything to easing their pain. They've got the government they spawned and now they can pay the consequences for it. 100% self inflicted.

Not to mention the UN. It simply MUST be in the mix, somewhere. This is too atrocious for just one government to handle.

If the "we" is government then you've got it exactly backwards.
Government intervention is what produces these situations in the first place.

Africa needs to be recolonized and civilization forced upon it, unapologetically. They have proven themselves incapable of self-government. They'd never forgive us for it--especially if things turned out for the better--but what the heck. It would most definitely be the right thing to do.

Mr Mugabe pledged during his successful re-election campaign last month that no one in Zimbabwe, which was once a major food exporter, would starve. Now there's a campaign slogan for the ages!

How could the harvest fail? They got rid of all of those awful white farmers and landowners that fed the population for decades. It has to be better now. Doesn't it?

Now that they failed in farming, maybe it's time to try building nuclear power plants, also with no knowledge of how it's done.

BWHAHAHAHA!!!! Who the hell needs a campaign manager when that slogan says it all!
To: 10mm
I and I alone have the answer!
The Whites are evil, that is why we took the land back for Africans from the Whites. We will starve before we ever bow to them again, NEVER AGAIN!
I think their membership numbers will be dropping soon.

Odd! Confiscation, murder, and socialism have always produced fantastic economic gains before ...

Thank God no one in Zimbabwe is facing the health problems involved in obesity, because this is the number one health problem in the US! And as for starvation, well, it's a euphoric death. That's what they said about the Schiavo case...
All snottiness aside, I guess we all know the situation here. It's a real shame Marxists always experiment on Blacks and Latinos. I guess the attitude is: There's so many of them. If it goes wrong...well... break eggs, make omelettes, you know.

Western Marxists will have aneurysms over this but they should be ignored.Well, that's a case of a problem taking care of itself...

Translation;
"No one who is ZANU PF will starve."

"...Zimbabwe, which was once a major food exporter..."
We should announce that henceforth all international food aid must now be provided by Cuba, Vietnam, Myanamar, and the so-called "Peoples' Republic" of China!!!
Let those models of communist development take care of fellow basket-cases like Zimbabwe, and leave all the evil capitalists in the USA to fend for ourselves......

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!!!
All Zimbabwe will now be celebrating. They have finally achieved what they have been wanting for all these years.
(I sure hope that America is not suckered into sending food to a nation that voted to starve itself)
