serious question. its not secret that north korea survives solely on the food aid contributions of other nations, including the USA. so.........why the hell are we allowing that to continue?

they threaten us every day and they kill their own people anyway, so why not just help them finish it?

America is so hated all over the world that we now have a "we are the world, we are the children" soundtrack on repeat. Our government seriously thinks this broken record is still believed.

Because its not charity. Its leverage. And they know (and resent) it.

Well, that **** ain't gonna change with people still believing everything their "establishment candidates" keep saying.

But hey, ALL is good in the world as long as Americans CAN Keep up with the Kardashians and Bruce Jenner.

ya, i have heard that before the n.korea army starves they will launch a massive wave assault against south korea, which would fail but ultimately kill millions on each side.

so they keep holding that loaded gun until they develop reliable nukes. in the mean time we sweep it under the rug and hope they will cooperate eventually. i say bring this **** and get it over with

My guess is the people of N. Korea are like most people in tightly controlled dictatorships - they just want out. They want freedom and opportunity, just like us. That is the same reason people make rafts out of trash and take their chances getting from Cuba to the US. I don't want to see anyone die of starvation. On the other hand, I'm not against regime change... Neither is the government but that's their official story. Little Man Boy will screw up soon and get taken out - he's volatile even by dictator standards...

For once I'd have to agree with you. Need to keep countries around to do the things that don't fit our "we are the world, we are the children" narrative.
