#1 North Korea has begun to reverse market reforms by kicking out international relief workers and choking off supplies of food and medical aid in a crackdown that puts millions of the country's children and elderly at risk.

Not a problem. No more talks, no more aid, nothing. Let Kimmie and his minions feed the population nuclear material.

#3 Not necessarily Kimmie. Sounds like the hardline generals got this upper hand this round.

#4 They're preparing for war.

First you order the aid to stop, then you blame the folks you threw out for the shortages in medicine.

Second you control the food.

Third, when the elderly, children, and weak die, you're rid of a huge drain on your economy, and again blame it on the aid folks you threw out.

Fourth, with the elderly and weak dead mount a campaign to inflame the survivors.

Fifth, any dissident areas, get no food, and the Army seals their local boundaries to prevent the "Enemies Of The State" (Starving victims) from "Escaping" (Finding food in the surrounding countryside) Any international complaints are dismissed as "Foreign Interference in Domestic Affairs"

Now the main plan goes into effect, you now have a nation solidly behind it's Government (Dissidents are dead) rigidly controlled (Govt. controls food) and stronger, having eliminated the weak.

Now, Invent a pretext invade and destroy South Korea, absorb the area, repeat steps one through five, and continue to the next area you consider as "Yours."

#6 Interesting, RJ. Kimmie and Co are not just hangin' on the ropes for the fun of it. What about their Chicom neighbors, though? I would think that they have something to say about their little mad dog. It seems that the SKors are appeasing away, so why have a war when the SKors are weakening themselves by their own behavours.

#7 Don't worry about the Chinese disaproving, what I described is a very condensed history of China. They'll see it as entirely normal.

Whenever there was famine, the (Name the ruler) would go into the province that had been trator or troublesome, take ALL the food, give it to the "Trustworthy" province and eliminate two problems at once, the disloyal starved, the loyal got rewarded, and repeat whenever food was scarse.

No disloyal peasants to rob? toss a coin, the losers are not going to talk (They're dead,) and the loyal are more loyal to the (Name Ruler here)for "Saving them from starvation."

Entirely normal to them, If you get a minute look up "Water Economy" the chinese did this regularly for centuries by controlling water needed to grow crops, loyal survived, others disappeared from history.

#8 In a very real sense, the Chinese have been Geneticly Engineered to be loyal servants of the State.

#9 I found that the correct name for "Forced Starvation By Government" is "Democide"
