Interesting you brought this up. PDRNK * has always had trouble feeding its people and--whenever the situation is dire enough to threaten those in power as it appears to be about now--they have a tendency to 'threaten' the West...which then results in their publicly making some form of minor political concession (which they needed to make anyway) so we'll send them food to keep the army fed and the people satisfied enough to not revolt. Just another crappy day in Cesspoolville for that part of the globe. 
And so it goes...

* FWIW - I avoid travel to any country which begins with Peoples Democratic Republic...their one-half star hotels don't appeal to my wife.
