Maybe North Korea should start spending their own money on AGRICULTURE instead of on their military, missiles and nuclear bombs???

I want to know why you think it is the RESPONSIBILITY of the USA to feed and care for a foreign people? We fought in the 1950's to keep them free, they took up arms against us and put into power their own communist regime, their choice to do so, and their choice to put the government they have in power. They are not children, and they are now suffering the consequences of their actions, unfortunate as it may be. We are not the mommy or daddy of the world, although we act like it sometimes, we really shouldn't be! We have our problems, our issues, and we need to be dealing with them. North Korea received a very stern "Dont do it!" by a lot of nations, and they ignored it like a 5 year old child. So now they get consequences, it's the way of life.

Congratulations, you have officially derailed this thread and turned it into something that has nothing to do with the original post.
What does our credit rating, China, and "borrowing our way out of trouble" have anything to do with North Korea launching rockets at the expense of their own people?
And you hate America and the Americans that live in it because of what our politicians and bankers did to our economy? That seems a little unfair, wouldn't you say?
And just to let you know, since they downgraded our credit rating, it hasn't been any harder to buy food, water, supplies, fuel, or pretty much anything else that was still for sale when we had the AAA. That snit has no bearing on the way we live.

Im not fighting with you Germanicus, isn't that the reason we are all in the mess we are all in already? Fighting? Let's just agree that as things sit, it is not the responsibility of one nation to prop up another, and that would help 90% of the issues world wide right now. We must take care of our own internal issues before we can start effectively helping the rest of the world as we used to.
But the thing is,if you stopped all aid,your influense and sway would disappear. No more smokes and mirrors. You would have to use your military to get what you want. America cannot afford to stop sending 'aid'. If you stopped the bribes your counrtry would be in a lot of trouble. That is why the US government gives. Not because they are swell fella's.

I do consider my self lucky. But your Government effects us all. It is your Imperial Empire. We all live in it. Its just that not all of us are Imperial citizens that actually have a right to vote in your elections. We cannot keep your leaders in check. Only American's can do that.
While this may or may not be 100% correct, there is nothing that I, or another other person living here, can do about it.
North Korea made their choices: Weapons vs Food for their people.

Address the thread topic. Else you are just trolling to derail the thread.

This thread is NOT about the US's credit rating (which I could give a flying flip about, it's not hurt me in the least). It's NOT about what taxes we pay (again, those taxes don't hurt me at all......hows that Carbon Tax coming BTW? I think I'll crank up my car, and run my lawn mower some more so YOU have to pay more for it....). This thread is about whether or not the US should be giving food to NK.
Address the thread topic. Stop using it to spew your hate which is off topic.
