Nobody is dying in a famine in DPRK. They had a rough time when USSR broke up because they were their main trading partner, and then the ghouls in the west tried to blockade and starve them. They adapted and managed to create a sustainable economy and domestic food security instead.

North Korea has never been able to produce enough food for its 26 million people. When it shut its border in January 2020, authorities stopped importing grain from China, as well as the fertilisers and machinery needed to grow food.

Source.

Wow, I wonder why it’s difficult for them to produce food? Oh, right: illegal Western-led import/export sanctions, and a land ravaged by agent orange and unexploded ordinances.

And nevertheless, no one is dying of famine in North Korea today. The BBC article provides no evidence other than anonymous “people are saying.”


In North Korea parents cannot feed their children. We give them mud because children is so hungry. And when you eat mud, you die in 10 days; you cannot go to the bathroom. Even though you know your children are dying, you still giving them the mud.
