The United Nations Command said Kim Jong-un's tyrannical North Korean regime has detained a United States soldier, named as Travis King, who holds the rank of private second class in the US Army, for crossing the Military Demarcation Line from South Korea without permission
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/breaking-north-korea-detains-man-30492819 Report: While serving in South Korea, King told military officials that he would not "return to post or America." https://nypost.com/2023/07/22/travis-king-showed-signs-of-defecting-before-fleeing-to-n-korea/ |

That’s not easy to do unless intentional and you are a little nutty.

100% not an accidental crossing.
ETA - His chain of command is now toast. |

There were like three idiots who did it in the 50s/60s if I recall correctly. They became NK movie stars after a period of torture.

Last time I was there, most of the demarcation area was littered with mines. I know there are number of bridges and the trade zone area. I am curious as to where the crossing occurred.

See, that’s how borders are supposed to work. We could take some lessons from the Norks.

I'm sure Joe Biden will put Kamala in charge of this and she will handle it properly and get a swift resolution to this problem.

If this wasn’t a kidnapping or an accident, LET HIM ROT THERE.
No high level negotiations, bribes, or prisoner swaps. I don’t care if they let him cry on TV after he realizes his mistake. |

Wasn't there an American soldier that defected some time back and ended up starring in a bunch of NK propaganda films?

So he’s a North Korean version of the member who went
Missing in Russia? |

Lol holy crap! Per wikipedia:
Beginning in 1978, he was cast in several North Korean films, including one episode of the series Unsung Heroes (as an American villain called "Arthur Cockstud"),[16] and he became a celebrity in the country as a result. He was called "Arthur" by his North Korean friends, after the name of his character in Unsung Heroes. He also translated some of North Korean leader Kim Il Sung's writings into English. What a maroon. |

After allowing the Biden admin to vacillate around, threaten nuclear Armageddon and officially recognize Chinaman Month, Don will give Kim a call.
Don: "Hey Kim, give us back our guy will you?" Kim: "No problem Don, hope you're doing well" Don: "You're the greatest skillet face despot ever Kim!" |

Not a great time to be a Romanian art student or Japanese nurse, the norks will probably need to kidnap another one.
Unless they want to make him out as gay, like they did with the USS Pueblo sailors. |

A person who said they witnessed the event and was part of the same tour group told CBS News they had just visited one of the buildings at the site when "this man gives out a loud 'ha ha ha,' and just runs in between some buildings." |

"A US National on a JSA orientation tour crossed, without authorisation, the Military Demarcation Line into the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK)."
"The U.S. official told CBS News the troop in question was being escorted back to the United States for disciplinary reasons, but after going through airport security, they somehow returned and managed to join the border tour." |
