US Sending Food to North Korea
The US has decided to send 50,000 tons food aid to North Korea. However, it is not as much as the World Food Program wanted:
In an exclusive interview with CNN, WFP Asia Director Anthony Banbury called the donation “an important contribution but it is not enough.”
“We are very grateful for it,” Banbury said. “We will try and move to get that food into the country as soon as possible. But we need more than 50,000 tonnes. We need over 200,000 tonnes.”
Banbury said because of a lack of donations, in recent months WFP has been forced to cut aid to about a million North Koreans, and is at risk of having to cut its aid entirely to millions more.
“If no new donations come in, 80 percent of the 6.5 million people we are trying to help will be without our assistance and they will be in a desperate situation,” Banbury told CNN.
What I find interesting is that the UN’s World Food Program makes it look like it is America’s fault that North Koreans are starving because we only gave 50,000 tons of food. I’m sure if the North Koreans would allow American or WFP authorities to distribute the food the US government would send more, but how come the UN doesn’t go ask France to buy a bunch of food for North Korea? Why is it that every time a country has a problem it is suddenly America’s problem? It seems like often that the same people who bash America are the same ones getting a free ride off the global security our military provides and the generosity of our citizens and government. Even North Korea.
Very recently, it proved that such donated foods from Japan and South Korea have not been given to the poor people by NGO's investigation, the dictator Kim has been selling donations in the market. Obviously this US donation will go to the same way.
Why don't we just cut off the middle men and send 50K Ton food items directly to KPA and KWP. They are already cossuming all of them anyway from other NGOs.
The US is just sending food so the media and the UN cannot accuse the government of being insensitive to the hungry peoople in North Korea when in fact that food will first go straight to the elites and the military before it trickles down to people who really need it. I have posted on this subject before:

And pretty much what I have always believed is that when the army and the people of Pyongyang start to go hungry that is when you will see change in North Korea.
I immediately thought of the not really 4 women solution for the first puzzle, then switched to the linear solution. ,
