"A U.S. National on a JSA orientation tour crossed, without authorization, the Military Demarcation Line into the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)," U.N. Command said in its statement earlier. "We believe he is currently in DPRK custody and are working with our KPA counterparts to resolve this incident."


Whoops

It's literally just a line that you step over in the JSA.

I know absolutely nothing about this. For this building, is it possible to accidentally stroll into the wrong side of the building? Or did he purposely cross into the NK side for some reason.

This sounds like a distraction and is probably an orchestrated event. Our government does this type of shite all the fricking time guys.

I did some dumb shite in my marine corps days but crossing the DMZ was just not one of the things i would have even considered.

Even if standing duty for me for a whole year was offered, I’m just not going to a North Korean jail

Its been damn near 20 years since I've been there but when I visited, they had the biggest ROK (Republic of Korea Armed Forces) Soldiers in there. I'm 6'7" and they were damn near my height and size, and they were strict as frick. These were the conference rooms mind you, they straddle the border

Things may have changed since then.

Looking what he chose for his profile pic I'd say it fits.

Appears this is a soldier, not in uniform, who hooked up with a civilian tour group and not an orientation (military).

That explains the confusion over whether it was a civilian vs. military group and if it was a civilian vs. military person.

There are cameras (not controlled by the Secret Service), so this should be an easy question to answer.


Was Hunter in the region in the last 6 months and is cocaine involved. If so, the cameras malfunctioned.

If defecting, force him to live in PRK

Punishment fits the crime.

I get it. The whole thing was just a trick to get me to log back in to Linkedin so that they could start sending me all those emails asking for recommendations for applicants for some job opening from headhunters and requests for links from people I never met and have no interest in knowing.

Maybe Trump can go in and get Kimmy JoJo to release the guy. I understand he and Kim are best buds, who share milk shake sips and golf course monogrammed t-shirts during overnight sleepovers.
