anatess2 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Of course CNN fawns over North Korea! Since when have they worked in the interest of news rather than propaganda? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouch Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I wish political conditions on the Korean Peninsula would become demilitarized enough for the Church to once again fawn over the hungry people in the North. https://www.lds.org/ensign/1997/10/news-of-the-church/members-and-church-assist-following-disasters?lang=eng Church Aid to North Korea “We were asked by the First Presidency to assess the current situation in order to determine the nature of further assistance in the northern provinces of [North Korea], where food is in short supply, rationing has been instituted, and there is a potential for famine,” said Elder David E. Sorensen of the Seventy. Elder Sorensen was accompanied on a recent tour of North Korea by Elder Rex D. Pinegar of the Seventy. From 1995 to the present, the Church has contributed humanitarian aid to the needy people of North Korea through the Red Cross and other agencies. This aid has included 2,600 tons of flour, powdered milk, cooking oil, blankets, and first-aid supplies. “The country has been mobilized to combat the food shortages, with military personnel, office workers, schoolchildren, and the general populace assisting the farmers in planting needed crops,” Elder Sorensen said. He also noted that Brent Chugg of Latter-day Saint Charities presented and helped plant 500 apple trees donated by the Church. Technical assistance to assess and prevent further soil erosion was provided by Church representative Garry Flake. “It appeared to us during our tour that relief agencies were distributing aid in an efficient, satisfactory manner,” Elder Sorensen said. “These humanitarian efforts will bless the lives of those suffering in North Korea.” Sunday21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're pointing at a condition that is not the source of the problem. South Korea is doing just fine. North Korea is not... not because of the militarization but because you have somebody in power who revels in his multinationally-supported role as the tail that has the power to wag the dog.

What exactly do you mean by "become demilitarized enough"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
