The U.S. government last month said it would bar Americans from traveling to North Korea due to the risk of “long-term detention” there.
But that has been a risk for decades, so it seems a bit suspicious now to ban travel based on that reason. This seems like a prelude to a US strike on North Korea. Have to wait and see.
Any US strike would most likely need collaboration from allies in that region and probably even china to be ok with it. It’s not I don’t think the US could not single handily take out the Kim regime, but the fallout of it would take countries in the region to help out with millions of people that would not know what to do after.
It is not a Prelude to war, it’s a Prelude to keeping people from being jailed and end up in a coma and dying a day or two after they return home to America.
Tens of thousands of Americans will die in any war with North Korea in addition to tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of South Koreans and probably Japanese and who knows who else.
A few stragglers roaming around North Korea isn’t much a concern in comparison.
Yes, actually some stations are really eloquently designed like soviet area style.
But here’s what I’m wondering. If let’s say countries try to overthrow the kim regime and go into North Korea. Would the average citizen fight for the regime or welcome the sight of people coming in and I guess we can say liberate them?
