I’m sorry they are stuck over there but on what world did this sound like a good place to be at any time.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Most normal people have fled California.
Liberals remained, and decided that travel to a country where nearly everyone is trying to kill Americans would be broadening...
Because of Hawaii COVID rules it was too difficult to go to Maui. So it was either Afghanistan or N. Korea. Maybe they should have chosen to go see Kim.
i always wonder the same thing when some american is arrested for being a spy while in Iran or some similar shithole country. Conventional wisdom would say you should avoid such places but for some reason their are perpetually geniuses that think they are special and can do what they like. Then the world falls on them and they want heroic efforts made to free them.

Occasionally, an American will be taken prisoner on the Iranian border, or the North Korean border. They are usually paraded around and made really uncomfortable as their propaganda or hostage potential plays out. I’ve found that if you investigate the individual they all have a similar background. They’re uber-liberal. Often, they have made media posts about the wonders of communism and how awful the US is. The media is often silent on the person’s background and instead lays heavily, during Republican administrations, that this is an American citizen and the administration is not doing a thing to help them. During the Viet Nam war the idiots would travel to nearby countries and backpack into North Vietnam to show “solidarity.” To my knowledge they were all executed. I was listening to an analyst talking about these incidents and he said the Vietnamese knew full well what they were but chose to execute them as “spies” anyway for propaganda.
I’ll wager this crowd was sent over by a university to show how horrible the US was. While I feel sorry for them, anyone stupid enough to go there on their own... without hazard pay for some particular contractor job, or being sent by the US government for some purpose, is risking being an example for the rest of us on the perils of stupidity.
