So this is your "comment"? maybe Europe should take up the slack in the free food for North Korea until South Korea and the US have had their chance to resolve this issue with the North Koreans. Maybe the WFP officials CAN show "hard evidence" that ALL the food HAS in fact reached the starving Korean civilians.... That would be a start.... How is this a comment on using food supply as a foreign policy weapon? maybe Europe should take up the slack in the free food for North Korea Maybe. But this is not a comment on the US cutting food supply to North Korea. Maybe the WFP officials CAN show "hard evidence" that ALL the food HAS in fact reached the starving Korean civilians Maybe. Still, this is not a comment on how acceptable (or not) a foreign policy decision it is to withhold food from a population, thereby risking their starvation. That would be a start.... A start for what? Can you address the issue or is that completely beyond you? Put aside other countries and put aside "hard evidence". We are talking about FOOD, not weapons. Tell me just what you think about your administration using starvation of the population as a weapon, especially after months of saying "No, we will not use food supply as a weapon". Can you do that?
