North Korea has released three US detainees in the country, according to media reports, and it meets some of President Donald Trump demands for Pyongyang to demonstrate sincerity before its upcoming US summit. Kim Dong-cheol, Kim Sang-deok, and Kim Hak-seong — three US citizens detained in North Korea for years — have been released from a suspected labor camp and given health treatment and ideological education in Pyongyang. The news follows Trump's hawkish National Security Adviser, John Bolton, calling for the release of the detainees as a way for North Korea to demonstrate its sincerity in talks. North Korea has released three US detainees in the country, according to media reports, and it meets some of President Donald Trump demands for Pyongyang to demonstrate sincerity before the historic meeting between Trump and Kim Jong Un.
Kim Dong-cheol, Kim Sang-deok, and Kim Hak-seong — three US citizens detained in North Korea for years — have been released from a suspected labor camp and given health treatment and ideological education in Pyongyang, according to the Financial Times.
"We heard it through our sources in North Korea late last month. We believe that Mr Trump can take them back on the day of the US-North Korea summit or he can send an envoy to take them back to the US before the summit," said Choi Sung-ryong, who campaigns for the release of detainees in North Korea.

It is sad that all of this peace in NK is happening but the majority of Americans will never hear of it...
Because they're rigid left wing ideological retards.
“So, you think this will impress that corrupt bag of poop Mule-head?”
“No. Rosensweasel’s coup is impervious to any good of the country considerations. These bastards need to thrown in Jail for treason and l include sessions.”
Wow! I knew you guys were clever at changing the subject of every thread to irrelevant Sessions bashing - but this segue takes the cake!
I’ll take a stab at where this leads.
Korea reunifies, with the state of war over, the US decreases or removes it’s military presence from the peninsula. At the same time, the former South Korea suspends mandatory military service. The former North Korea asks for humanitarian aid from its Southern brothers help. This is provided and comes out of the military budget.
The result is that Korea becomes a paper tiger in the area. Which is when China invades Taiwan as there northern flank is now something easily dealt with.
Just my opinion...
...sorry for this very brief important news interruption ...and now CNN returns you to your regular schedule programming of Stormy Daniels and Russia Russia Russia
Very thoughtful analysis! I like it!
But I agree....it is a good step in the right direction.
Any comment from Jimmy (444 days) Carter ?
Didn’t he hear that he was supposed to start a nuclear war so the liberals could blame it on Trump?
“The problem with North Korea is not mere pre-summit diplomatic concessions but the nature, long term and ongoing behavior of the regime.”
Agreed.
Although this is a good start, there remains a lot of amends that NK need to make with the US and other countries in the world.
i ve done that before and they’ve kick it off.
. still you’re right i should have done it.
Admins are picky about the ‘breaking sidebar’...............
oops don’t now but.......it’s there.
Will they come clean about David Sneddon, the student who disappeared in China? Seems he was fluent in Korean and was taken to teach English.

Glad you liked the post.
The next few months should prove if I need a new tinfoil hat.
Kudos to the architect of this release, who is also responsible for our great economy.... Barrack Obama.........must I s/?
And I know plenty of other people who feel the same way about Trump.
The Trump hate train is so pathetic.
President Trump is amazing, and Mueller is just itching to stop him before he fully restores America to greatness.
I believe Condi was the first to announce that NK was developing nukes.
