#1 I dont understand why we are giving any aid humanitarian or otherwise. The humanitarian goes to feed the military then the loyal areas while the people we would like to support are starved. If we cut off all aid totally even the loyal Norks and the military would suffer and maybe just maybe the tipping point would actually come. If the Snorks want to prop up Kimmy let them pay for it.

I know innocents will suffer but by giving them any aid at all just prolongs the pain its not pretty but reality rarely ever is.

#2 I guess I'm missing the point of treating these dinks like a real nation. NK is a leftover of the Eisenhower containment strategy for China. Now that Cam Rhan Bay and Subic are gone, the only barrier outpost remaining is SK and the north wants their industry too much to move against them.

Another 'strategic legacy' better left behind. Pull the aid.
