The prevalence of parasitic worms causing health problems in North Korea may be the result of a personal intervention by Kim Jong Un, who urged farmers to spread human excrement on their fields to fertilize crops.

What about our nuclear threat to the world?
Do you really think we are mature enough to be playing with that particular match and dynamite?
The people of North Korea will fight to the bitter end to defend their ideologies and territory, they will die by the 100,000s, possibly millions! Now tell me in god honest truth how the hell is that going to help them?
Do you wish the Wikipedia entry on what the U.N is or what they really amount to?

While it may sound very disgusting as a human to live with parasites in our body, the reality is we are supposed to be exposed and have symbiosis with some types of worms. Some of them help to trigger the organs mucosal secretions which help reduce or combat inflammation. It has become somewhat of a new thing to ingest certain whipworms eggs as a treat to Inflammatory bowel Syndrome (IBS).
Humans have lived many generations without certain symbiotic relationships with helpful parasites. Now science wants to mimic the functions without the worm as a "safer" alternative. Yea I bet they consider nanobots and machines as safer. If it came down to that, I would stick with what nature already provided before we started destroying it.
When Parasites Could Be The Treatment Instead Of The Illness Does that mean we should all go infest ourselves with whipworms? NO, our bodies did not evolve with those relationships, it would take at least another two generations of chronic parasites for the body and the worms to be in harmony again. However, many third worlders, especially in villages with poor sanitary and hygiene standards continue to maintain this symbiosis to this day, and as a result none of their communities suffer from Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome!
I'm sure there is a middle somewhere between living in filth and re-introducing human symbiosis with planet Earth.

"Our nuclear threat? We did nuke Japan"
Yes, twice i think you will find, when they were already essentially beaten and on their arse.
America dropped those bombs to stop Russias own invasion of Japan and also to make them think twice about continuing there occupation into the rest of the European continent.
Plain as day really.
In late June they [Japan] approached the Soviets, (the Neutrality Pact was still in place), inviting them to negotiate peace with the allies in support of Japan, providing them with specific proposals and in return they offered the Soviets very attractive territorial concessions. Stalin expressed interest, and the Japanese awaited the Soviet response. The Soviets continued to avoid providing a response. The Potsdam Conference was held from 16 July to 2 August 1945. On 24 July the Soviet Union recalled all embassy staff and families from Japan. On 26 July the conference produced the Potsdam Declaration whereby Churchill, Truman and Chiang Kai-shek (the Soviet Union was not at war with Japan) demanded the unconditional surrender of Japan. The Japanese continued to wait for the Soviet response, and avoided responding to the declaration.

If this report is true, then all peasants throughout NK are now full of worms.

That amoral act, carried out by the US, was indeed a message for Russia.
The National Archives in Washington contain US government documents that chart Japanese peace overtures as early as 1943. None was pursued. A cable sent on May 5, 1945 by the German ambassador in Tokyo and intercepted by the US dispels any doubt that the Japanese were desperate to sue for peace, including "capitulation even if the terms were hard". Instead, the US secretary of war, Henry Stimson, told President Truman he was "fearful" that the US air force would have Japan so "bombed out" that the new weapon would not be able "to show its strength". He later admitted that "no effort was made, and none was seriously considered, to achieve surrender merely in order not to have to use the bomb". His foreign policy colleagues were eager "to browbeat the Russians with the bomb held rather ostentatiously on our hip". General Leslie Groves, director of the Manhattan Project that made the bomb, testified: "There was never any illusion on my part that Russia was our enemy, and that the project was conducted on that basis." The day after Hiroshima was obliterated, President Truman voiced his satisfaction with the "overwhelming success" of "the experiment".

Are you sure US troops can handle the horror at the sight of every NK soldier running at them on the battle field with worms coming out of every hole in their body.
Maybe this is why Deagle states that NK population is 0 in 10 years time because they are all either mutant worms or nuked.
