WTF is going on here? The fuckers in our government are sending these assholes a shit-ton of food for what? To feed their goddamn Army?

US announces deal to send 500,000 tons of food to NKorea - Yahoo! News

This is bullshit!

Nazi appeasers....

Seriously though, are we so arrogant that we think we can just dictate how North Korea will handle their nuclear program without giving them something in return for their troubles? Why is this a problem?

I'd say about 80% of the food will go to feeding the military and the other 20% will go to feeding the big shot government employees.

I'm sure the government isn't aware of this. Who cares where the food goes?

The people whose tax dollars go to paying for the food.

And as a tax payer, I don't have a problem with the government using aid as a negotiating tool.

Even aiding the armies of other nations?

You might not mind but what about the other people that do mind? Should they be ignored?

Why does it matter to you? why would you discriminate between one hungry human and another just becuase of his nationality?

The Korean War ended 50 years ago. It's time you accept that North Korea is a soveriegn nation. Your hatred towards nations, and their populations, that your government does not get along with, is irrational. They aren't cannibals.
