North Korea finally confirmed Tuesday that US soldier Travis King is being detained in the country — nearly a month after he bolted across the border.

King told investigators that he had decided to enter North Korea because he “harbored ill feelings against inhuman mistreatment and racial discrimination within the US Army,” officials said.

The 23-year-old also expressed his willingness to seek refuge in North Korea or a third country, saying he “was disillusioned at the unequal American society,” the North Korean official news agency, KCN, said in a statemen

He will soon find out what real racism is all about

They’ll take care of you as long as you have propaganda value.

Then, I wouldn’t want to be you.

Looks light in the loafers.

inhuman mistreatment and racial discrimination -— HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Let him rot there ::: he will soon find out what a horrid place DPRK is

And crying for Mommy quicker than you can imagine

[Gay State Conservative]

Unless he has sensitive info just we should just wave at him and say “see ya...wouldn't wanna be ya!”

[Fireone]

Keep him.

[Nextrush]

Rocket Man likes certain things about the USA like basketball I wonder what this guy’s interests are.

Depending he may get along well with Kim.

[MomwithHope]

Is he willing to eat bugs like the rest of them?

[SaveFerris]

Works for me

[DoughtyOne]

Well, we could certainly rule out him being health conscious.

"Looks light in the loafers."

That was my first thought. Looks like that's all the U.S. military can attract these days. Is he another deserter that Joe's DOJ can go to bat for, like they did for Beau Bergdahl?

[Blurb2350]

He was being sent home to face disciplinary charges when he fled. He had already spent a month or two in a Korean jail for attacking police and resisting arrest.

[M Kehoe]

Okay Travis, check your weight now and then check your weight in 90 days.

5.56mm

[Leaning Right]

Eventually reality will set in, and he’ll want to go home.
Then what will Biden trade for this guy?

A ton of gold? A ton of enriched uranium? Our latest missile guidance system?

[HenryArmitage42]

good luck. You made an unfortunate bed time to lie in it.

[lee martell]

Little Kim wants to bust out laughing each time he sees this American Army defector.
“You tink you in Hot Water before..Wait and see!”

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Nevermind the racism and ‘mistreatment’ North Korea has shown to it’s own people.

The propaganda machine is run by the same demonic horde over there I see.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Rastus is going to soon find out that NOKs aren't going to bow down and worship him.
The moment he gets uppity he is liable to execution by anti-aircraft gun, one of
Li'l Kim's favorite methods.

[arthurus]

Leave him there. For a time he will probably live quite well so long as his propaganda value remains. If the Regime in DC were to simply ignore him he will learn just how good he had it as an American. Alas we will probably give Nork 5 billion dollars and subsidize Norkean missile science for the privilege of forcing the poor oppressed young man back to the Hellish USofA.
