>North Korea detained an unidentified US citizen for unknown reasons as he was planning to fly out of Pyongyang International Airport on Saturday morning.
>The detention was confirmed by Martina Aberg, deputy chief of mission at the Swedish Embassy in Pyongyang. The embassy represents US interests in North Korea, since Washington and Pyongyang do not have direct diplomatic relations."He was prevented from getting on the flight out of Pyongyang," Aberg told CNN. "We don't comment further than this."
>The US State Department on Sunday said it was working on the case. "We are aware of reports that a US citizen was detained in North Korea," said a department official. "The protection of US citizens is one of the Department's highest priorities."
>The official said the US would work with the Swedish Embassy on the matter, but did not provide further comment.
>The detained American is a professor with the frequently-used Korean surname "Kim," according to South Korea's Yonhap News Agency.
>At least two other US citizens are known to be in North Korean custody.
>Otto Warmbier, 21, a student at the University of Virginia, was detained at Pyongyang airport on January 2 last year after visiting the country with a tour group. He has since been sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for allegedly removing a political sign from a hotel wall.
>Kim Dong Chul, a naturalized US citizen of Korean origin, was arrested on October 2015. Last year, North Korea sentenced him to 10 years of hard labor on espionage charges.

Welp this seems like it'll be a lesson in common sense.

Because the US wants to talk to NK but can't have an embassy there because they're technically still at war/hostile.

Steal a flag, get 15 yrs of busting rocks.
Steal secrets, get 10.
That kind of insanity sounds like Canada. Oh well, good enough for me to say break out the nukes. We're not downwind right?

Those two guys will be the reason why the nukes are going to fly. Just american sleeper-scapegoats.

This happens all the time. Why are idiots still allowed to visit BEST KOREA? Are they really that stupid?

>>135050
The "groups" they are talking about are almost always hard core Baptist evangelicals or Mormons trying to convert people. It's really no wonder they get arrested when it's against the laws of NK to discuss religion at all.

The North Korean existence is the product of long passed ideology and conflict. Other anon may be retarded but I'm certain wars have been started over much less. Maybe it will be desert storm 2.0 maybe it will be Vietnam 2.0 or maybe it will a completely unique conflict.

Well, I don't know how it looks from your side, but to me (EU)it looks as annual N.Korean bread begging has started.
I really don't believe one guy hides behind whole country. I almost feel sorry for normies in NK, if they think China will go to WW3 for them ,IDK what they are smoking.
Also, before, they thrown them a bone and peace for 10 years but now,Trump thinks global politics should be played as business so if he bankrupts competition,
nothing, maybe 50-100 people need to find another job, but shit can actually escalate and there will be nothing, no game,no moves, if someone survives,sticks and stones, like , literally.

well, one of the first mistake is to name yourself with the name of their little retard leader kim jong poo
