Thanks for the seaweed recipe cant say that Ive ever ate much of it except in a sushi roll.

Honu,
The USA has given the NK's over a billion in foreign aid since 1995. The bulk of it has been given during the present administration.
Unfortunately, the WFP (World Food Program) doesn't really know where the rice is sold. It shows up in black markets and on the streets (for cash).
The people for which it intended are, in fact, eating seaweed. That's why I posted the recipe.
It's a very crazy place.
Sanctions will hurt the common people. Kim il Jong won't feel the least bit impact. For sure, he eats very well. Photos of him bear this out.
The common people are powerless to do much. Public executions cause terror in the populace. Though there is a growing resistance movement, it seems to me that going against this insanity where you need a travel permit to move from village to village, city to city, with armed guards (shoot to kill orders) patrolling the northern border crossing the river to China.
It's a huge mess. In my humble view, santions from the US won't do it. China
and South Korea have a much bigger voice, as they have both been the biggest providers of foreign aid. I'll wait to hear them speak.

btw...seaweed is pretty good. I like it with fresh fish. That's a luxury I have, that they don't. They eat it as a main course.

You're 100% correct ... the only hope for the North Koreans is if one or more of the generals get pizzed-off at that little psycho ... and drills him one.

Maybe someone will emerge from their military ... or elsewhere ... who has a drop of humanity ...

... otherwise the savages will continue to rule ... and the poor Koreans of the north will live in utter misery ... while their blood-brothers in the south live in freedom and prosperity.

What are you smoking Bold B? You actually are agreeing with me and said I was 100% correct!!!!
You heard it here first folks!

Now, maybe he'll pass along whatever has clouded his consciousness.
Unbelievable.

No narcotics or stimulants are ever needed ... just the tiniest of impulses among my neurons. Remember ... a fraction of infinity ... is still infinity.

And someday you'll learn ... perhaps ... though you obviously haven't caught on yet ...

... that I'm always on the side of freedom.

I also do not approve of mind altering substances.

"Obviously, I haven't caught on yet"...huh? You need a mirror.

Are you implying that I'm not on the side of freedom?
If so, you are delusional. My guess is that reading all of that right wing propaganda has effected your precious neurons.

You are ridiculous.
