Great Satan Feeding it's enemies, again

The US did it during the Cold War, selling food to the Soviet Union.
But now the US is giving it away to the most oppressive regime on Earth.

"The food aid of the US government will help settle the food shortage in the DPRK to a certain extent and contribute to promoting the understanding and confidence between the peoples of the two countries."

USAID, the US agency for international development, announced the shipments on Friday.

In a statement, it said 500,000 tonnes of emergency food aid will be provided over a 12-month period under a new deal with Pyongyang.

Previous aid shipments were suspended in 2006 over concern the aid was not reaching the right people.

Aid groups say soaring global food prices and reluctance by donors have helped to push North Korea close to famine.

If North Korea stopped putting all it's resources into war making (including atomic weapons), it could feed it's own people. Only an idiot believes that South Korea (and the US) are going to invade the North.

Food shortfall

Washington will supply 400,000 tonnes of food aid via the UN World Food Programme (WFP), while US non-governmental organisations will distribute 100,000 tonnes, the statement said.

Keep in mind that there are hungry people in the US too. Why feed an enemy? Tell China to step up to the plate, instead of sending refugees back to North Korea to face certain harsh punishment.

...

The United States was a major provider of food aid to North Korea from 1995 until 2005.

The US suspended the assistance after Pyongyang asked representatives of the WFP, which was channeling the aid, to leave.

That is because the food was not going to the right people. North Korea was diverting that free food for it's Military.
