Like there's another option? You think the USA has any choice in this matter?
His family has been suggesting the US find some way to get him back.
He doesn't want to come back and the US has zero leverage with DPRK. He's not a hostage, he's an asylum seeker. And better than that, he's a US military member who has a personal grievance with not just the USA but also South Korea. This man is staying in Pyongyang and will be treated quite well.
Wow I really have no response to this, I am just straight flabbergasted that anybody is this stupid.
Why, what do you think will happen? They'll torture him? Imprison him for life? Make him eat gross foods? Work him to death? Like, what's your orientalist fantasy here?
