Topic: North Korea Tells Citizens to Prepare Themselves for Famine (Read 1178 times)

The Chinese are not happy with DPRK right now. A few months ago, DPRK allowed Russian companies to develop its rare earth metal deposits. This was a double whammy for China. China is having a near monopoly in rare earth metal production right now, and any increase in production from DPRK might dilute the Chinese bargaining power. Also, the Chinese thought that Kim would prefer Chinese mining firms to the Russian ones.

China just put in trade restrictions so it looks like famine holiday is going into full effect. Guess they had little choice with North Korea forcing their hand in a public way.

North Korea instructed the country Monday to brace itself for possible famine and severe economic hardship — but not to despair, because “the road to revolution is long and arduous,” according to an editorial in the state-run newspaper.

The article, published in Rodong Sinmun — the print mouthpiece of the North Korean government — comes less than a month after the U.N. Security Council voted in favor of slapping the Hermit Kingdom with tougher sanctions, after the country teased its potential nuclear and military capabilities earlier this year. The editorial stated that hardships to come might evoke another “arduous march” — the term assigned to the famine that struck the country in the mid-1990s, killing as many as 3 million people, reports the Telegraph, a British newspaper.

“We may have to go on an arduous march, during which we will have to chew the roots of plants once again,” the editorial piece read.

Rodong Sinmun called for a “70-day campaign of loyalty” and reportedly demanded that the North Korean people demonstrate their allegiance to Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un. To that end, the country is requiring all residents of Pyongyang, North Korea’s capital city, to deliver about 2 lb. of rice to state warehouses each month.

The Telegraph reports that the country has also requested nearly half a million tons of food aid from other countries. As of last month, however, only 17,600 tons had arrived.

For any other normal, average country in the world, you will be right, but not for N. Korea.
In N. Korea people are completely brainwashed and believe everything they heard from their ''Great'' leader Kim.
So, if he told them that sacrifice is needed in order to save the country from ''Imperialists'' over there, people will follow and sacriface without complaints.

They will all collapse soon. For delaying collapse they treat neighbors

Famine is a holiday in North Korea?

These people have been through some shit and when they finally get out of the prison we need to throw them a global party.
The mindset to survive is just so hard,reminds me of a book "Mans search for Meaning" where it documents the every day survival in these concentration camps. Its a great book for anyone feeling a little lost in life.

Interesting.  The UN is prepared to sacrifice another 3 million in a vain attempt to change the mind of a verifiable megalomaniac with a total lack of empathy his people.  I guess the end game is depopulation?
