North Korea to ‘expel’ US soldier Travis King, who crossed from South, state media reports

North Korea has decided “to expel” US Army Private Travis King, who crossed into the North from South Korea during a tour of the joint security area in July, state media KCNA reported on Wednesday.
“The relevant organ of the DPRK decided to expel Travis King, a soldier of the U.S. Army who illegally intruded into the territory of the DPRK, under the law of the Republic,” KCNA said. The report said the investigation into King “has been finished.”
It is unclear from KCNA’s report where, when and how King would be expelled.

King crossed the military demarcation line from South Korea into North Korea in July during a tour of the Joint Security Area inside the demilitarized zone (DMZ). King, a junior enlisted soldier assigned to US Forces Korea, had faced assault charges in South Korea and was due to return to Fort Bliss, Texas, and be removed from the military just one day before he crossed into North Korea, CNN previously reported.
North Korea claimed on Wednesday that King has “confessed that he illegally intruded into the territory of the DPRK as he harbored ill feeling against inhuman maltreatment and racial discrimination within the U.S. army and was disillusioned about the unequal U.S. society.”
CNN cannot verify whether these are King’s own words.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said last month that it “would not be out of character” for North Korea to use US soldier Travis King as a propaganda tool or bargaining chip.

Not a good look when North Korea doesn’t even want you.

Maybe they will use a missile to deliver him

Technically the Korean War has never ended, there is only a cease fire that’s been in effect for the past 70 years.
IMO, he’s a deserter and should face court martial for his crime.

Curious if the Army will just process him out of go with some new UCMJ action.

Yea, I'm wondering how the North Korean "expulsion" process goes.
Who the hell thinks it's a good idea to defect to North Korea of all countries? Dude probably thought he was going to be the next Dennis Rodman over there.

We're not sending the Norks our best people, let me tell you.
This is why they guard their border.

I put the chances of King actually saying that at like 5%

Democrat party has trained its voters to feel this way so this attitude can be exploited by other countries. China has done it.

You know America is tramp, when even our enemies expel our political asylum traitors. Having said that, he'll prolly get a White House reception in his honor. You know Megan Rapinoe style.

If he thought he felt some racism before, wait until the CIA gets hold of him and wants "information" about what he saw in NK.

The fact that an authoritarian socialist state would use this language as propaganda in this situation is proof that they also use it as means to sow everyday dissension in this country.
In other words, this is one way that our enemies keep us continually fighting amongst ourselves, and it's working.
