    We would never dare to trample those god fearin’ Americans freedom to starve to death. Gobbless Amurica!

    Don’t go looking one year further in the past though in that NK graph. Top notch cropping.

    Also I checked out France and the UK. Why are people in France going hungry while no one is starving in the UK? Very odd.

      You mean when there was a famine caused by the US sanctions which are a modern form of siege warfare? DPRK lost its main trading partner when USSR dissolved, and the US choked their ability to trade with other countries. Wow what an amazing gotcha you got there.

        Well wouldn’t you agree that is still fishy of you to pick the year exactly after the famine? According to your logic that famine was still caused by capitalism anyways.

        Odd that Russia and China couldn’t provide enough food. Or at least not the entire time. Seems like complex reasons for that, but sanctions certainly can’t have been the reason for that.

          No, I don’t think there’s anything fishy about picking the past two decades. Meanwhile, there’s nothing odd about the fact that Russia and China who were very weak in the 90s didn’t want to anger the US and become victims themselves. I personally lived through post USSR years in Russia, and it was already hell.
