The US needs to get all US Citizens.
We need to get all US Citizens out of NK, and the State Department needs to issue a travel ban.
I am surprized the hollywood leftist/protesters/journalist aren’t vacationing in NK?
WTF are any Americans in NK!
Don't know how old you are but I'm pretty old.One of my first passports (issued early/mid 1970s) said on one of the first pages that it was not valid for travel to several countries.I think Vietnam might have been one of them but I *know* North Korea was.
IIRC some court ruled years ago that US citizens couldn't be forbidden by the government to travel to a particular country.
Anyone stupid enough to be in NK deserves what they get!!!
What the hell is wrong with these people? Anyone working in a country like North Korea must be so unemployable that they can only work there!
I do ot have any sympathy for them!
He’s a fool for working there. I lack sympathy for this individual. He seems to have collaborated with the DPNK at the very least.
This is not the victims fault.
How far can we run?
How much can we hide?
How much bullying and threats can we endure?
How much evil will we enable?
TWB
I’m not that old. Born during the Reagan Administration.
If that is the case, I can understand that the government can’t physically stop you from traveling to that country; however, at that point the risk is completely your own and the US government will not provide assistance.
why are any US citizens in that country. They will just use them as pawns against us.
word!
No, we don’t. Despite all the warnings, they chose to go there and continued to stay after all the latest Fat Boy stunts.
" and the State Department a federal court needs to issue a travel ban."
Well, to be fair, teaching economics IS a hostile act toward a communist goobermint.
One can only hope.
If you are a US citizen and willingly living in North Korea, you could be the stupidest person on earth.
And why are there American citizens in North Korea? Of all the places on earth to be, if you are American?
What possesses idiots to go to places like North Korea and Iran anyway?
