North Korea Threat

New York Times stated, “Today, North Koreans starve to death by the dozens, maybe the hundreds. But during the great famine of the 1990s, between 600,000 and 2.5 million people died of hunger.” That means that many many of North Koreans people die of starvation.

If we are good enough friends we will help ANY country or countries that North Korea picks
