I hate to say it, but crises like these are going to be what pushes North Korea to reach out for help. They are slowly pissing off their closest allies, and it won't be long before they at least have to play by the same rules as (China, Russia, etc) who at least pretend.
- Natsu 11y agoThey've gone through quite a few of these before, though. I feel really bad for the North Korean people. I wish I had some way to give the innocent victims of this regime good food. I don't know what it would take to solve this, though.
- BorisMelnik 11y agoI also feel very bad for the North Korean people, I am really hoping that the efforts in South Korea to educate the North Korean people is paying off. North Korea has always been bad, but never this bad. There has got to be a breaking point.

- prodmerc 11y agoI doubt it, the ruling families are a-ok, and since they're absolutely worshiped, I doubt they give a damn...
- mml 11y agoGiven the importance of kimchi to most Koreans of either stripe, this might very well spell the end of the Kim dynasty.

- smacktoward 11y agoBack in the mid-1990s they went through a four-year-long famine called the "march of suffering" in which somewhere between hundreds of thousands and several million people starved to death (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korean_famine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korean_famine). Nobody really knows how many died. But the regime is still there, you know? The North Korean people are so thoroughly indoctrinated not even an apocalyptic famine could shake them. I'm not sure exactly how bad things would have to get to pierce that level of belief.
