I guarantee you they are either lying about something or omitting something.As far as you know. Like I said, uncle sam never tells the truth.Not true. When I was in Korea there were a lot of americans kidnapped by N. Korea. Uncle Sam just told their relatives they went AWOL.Maybe its just military people they kidnapped.
I didnt know she wasnt american.
No, the only people they have arrested have been people who have done ridiculous things.
Otto Warmbier stole a propaganda poster. Now, in the west we'd see this as something harmless, however you don't go to North Korea in the knowledge that you are somehow free. You're not. You do what you're told at all times.
Kim Dong Chul was arrested for espionage. The details aren't so clear on this one.
Sandra Suh was deported for doing some dodgy stuff like taking photos where she wasn't allowed
Now, these are the ones from the last 2 1/2 years. Many Americans have been there in that time. It's costly, I'd considered going because I know some guy who works for a company that does tours there. But I can have a great long trip somewhere else for the same cost as a 3 day tour of North Korea.
Currently there are two Americans being held by North Korea. Doesn't matter what happened when you were there.
Such a rash statement. So when the US govt tells everyone it's just invaded Iraq, it's lying?
