North Korea Orders Artillery to Be Combat Ready, Targeting U.S. Bases

24. Can you go

into precise detail how much grain the U.S. actually provides to North Korea after the Bush Administration significantly reduce that commodity to North Korea? Bush significantly reduced food to North Korea after he labeled them part of the Evil Axis. That was when the Clinton Administration had made significant improvements with ongoing talks with the North Koreans but it became more intensed after the Bush Administration changed U.S. Policy after 2000. North Korea restarted their nuclear program after the Bush Administration gave hostile language.

I've seen some reports that the previous causes of famine in North Korea came from natural causes such as certain disease. North Korea got aid from a number of countries, mainly China and even from Japan. Even the Clinton administration allowed Aid provided to them for food. The Clinton Administration did not use food and starvation as a weapon. If the religious extremists in this country and extremist Republican Party are really so concerned about the welfare of the North Korean people, then their politicians would not be advocating introducing policies with food as a weapon for regime change. I do not think the North Koreans militarized with intentions to invade the World as must on the Right try to convince everybody. And I don't see the rightwing extremists in the United States being the grownups many people perceive them as.

There will not be a War on the Korean peninsula because the Chinese nor Russians will allow it. So both sides are immature and beating their chests, instead of talking to each other. It was also the North Koreans that helped Japan get rid of some of their nuclear waste. The North koreans does about 70 percent of their trade with China, and surprisingly have also done some reform by allowing a little capitalism within their system through China. The bottomline, it is better to communicate without the insults because it will bring more insults, that will get you no where. President Obama needs to be the grownup and have direct talks, instead, he rather appease a rightwing Party, which created the whole situation. he would probably make more progress with the North Korean leader than the Teabaggers and neocons in the Congress.
