China and SK are stepping in/up - just not at the US timetable or with western rhetoric.
My understanding is that the US has been asking the SK military to take over charge of the military in SK, but, SK has been refusing to do so for about 8 years.
Of course SK wants the US military there as a trigger.
And yes, SK knows what would happen if NK implodes. SK really does not want to deal with a NK implosion and millions of NK people who have no money or clue regarding modern life, and the old family ties between NK and SK are fading as the elders die off.
Its easy to be critical of US policy, but, as is obvious, its a hairy situation and our US military is in the cross hairs both literally and figuratively.
Some would argue that the US ought to just leave... not our problem. But, if SK wants us there as a trigger, then we do have a right to suggest possible resolutions...
I did not blame the travel company for everything. I said the travel company is guilty of misrepresentation and false advertising when they advertise travel to NK as "completely safe for Americans." Read the website and the FAQ from the tour owners. .
It was not guaranteed to be completely safe. That's different altogether. Everyone knows there are risks involved in traveling.
No need to fix anything. Just send a message: don't **** with us. Send in the predators along some SEALS and DELTA. Take the leadership out. One of two things will happen: 1. NK will collapse from within. 2. Their military reacts and fire some antiquated missiles and shells at neighboring countries which will quickly devour NK out their own self-preservation. The US can sit back and watch.

No one ever claimed there was a guarantee of complete safety. A risk in traveling is getting pickpocketed or coming down with food poisoning, not being sentenced to hard labor for (a most likely fabricated incident of) petty theft and coming home brain dead.
I am thinking that they might have pulled the plug and I thought that during the interview his American doctors gave.
