Let`s not get over excited about North Korea!
North Korea lunched a rocket today, big deal! This was a move made because with everything else going on in the world they were not getting enough attention. So, it was like a child acting up.Let`s be honest unless they are going export that missile technology to other countries, it does not pose that much of a threat. With the NPI, we are already tracking all ships and planes leaving North Korea.So, we can block that from happening.If we really want them to cooperate we should cut all aid to them. This is a country that depends on the rest of the world to feed them. They are broke and famine has been widespread for over 10 years.So, yes that means cutting off all food aid.If we are not willing to to do this then they will never come to the table they have nothing to lose.
I mostly agree, This issues with N. Korea is not as big the media would like for us to believe. For years we have been listening to “what if” coming out of that country, and to date they are a bunch of talk.
Cutting off food aid is an attack on the population not the government. And yes folks are over excited about their crappy rocket. Maybe folks should be a little more excited over the fact that the US has more like 10,000 nuclear warheads and Israel has 75-200. And both of the later nations regularly use their military to enforce their political will on other nations.
It is not an attack on the people if most of the food aid that goes there goes to trhe military.Which most of the aid we send there does.
