Private Travis King, the US soldier who ran into North Korea in July, is expected to return to the US in the coming hours after he was expelled by North Korea into China King, 23, made a sudden dash into North Korea while on a civilian tour of their heavily fortified border and was immediately taken into North Korean custody. While details about the diplomacy that led to King's transfer remained scarce, the development was a rare example of cooperation between the US, North Korea and China. In his hometown of Racine, Wisconsin, a neighbor looked forward to King's return. His release followed months of intense diplomacy, the US officials said, adding that no concessions were made to the North in exchange for King. __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.

      Just speculating but they probably don’t want to start a pointless diplomatic incident over someone with no actual intel and who was probably on the run for doing typical sexpat/soldier in occupied Korea shit.

      Unless they can vet him properly, there’s always the risk that he’s a fake defector for intelligence gathering.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
