Well. That escalated quickly.

No, it's been escalating for years. North Korea is a threat and a nuisance, and if they are going to effectively murder an American because of a wall hanging, some of them need to die, and very soon. The Israelis understand this.

Jeez, PP. Simmer down. We are not going to bomb North Korea because they did something to an American citizen who went there.

Let's wait and see. We ought to reduce them to smithereens, and Obama isn't in office any more to equivocate and philosophize about it.

Using nuclear weapons? Because North Korea will. You okay with millions of deaths on the Korean Peninsula?

That's dumb. Boys have no special entitlement to act like dumbasses just because they're boys.

Wrong. He was never an idiot though, despite being male. (He's a very successful doctor now.) I'm sorry your brothers had such behavioral problems. I hope they've since learned that being male isn't an excuse for bad behavior.

Eh. Not white college kids.

No matter your race, if you decide to tour N Korea, you're assuming the risk. It's terribly selfish and reckless behavior at best.

+1. Ok Trumpkins. What should have been done? Send in the SEALs and have then risk their lives because a an American citizen completely ignored strong State Department warnings not to go? Start a war on the Korean Peninsula with a nuclear power. The federal government clearly told this kid not to go. He went anyway. Actions have consequences.

China is now putting pressure on N Korea thanks to Trump. That's a big deal

It is a big deal. (It's not thanks to Trump, though, it's thanks to N. Korea.)

Whatever. The point is not how he got there, but N. Korea's actions towards this student and the fact they probably killed him. I want to know why he was left there to literally die by the Obama administration.

We should have invaded!!! And dropped nukular bombs!!!

I though Republicans were the party of personal responsibility? Why are you defending reckless behavior? Saying our soldiers should die to rescue a kid who was told not to go there and went anyway.

I would not have allowed my kid to go.

College students are adults. Legally, you couldn't stop him.

If I was financially supporting my kid while he was in college, and he decided to use the money I was spending send him to college and support him to go VISIT NORTH KOREA?? Watch me.

Just so everyone is aware, UVA didn't send him there....this was a trip arranged by a private agency known for organizing tours to NK, which is not at all associated with UVA. LOL at the poster saying he'd be better off going to school in Ohio than 'hick VA'.

It's a party for personal responsibility as long as the idea of "personal responsiility" is not being applied to white males.

Yes, white working class men get all the breaks these days!

I'm not interested in sending abunch of 18 year olds to fight in North Korea because some spoiled, stupid 20 year old could not stay the frack out of a forbidden zone. It doesn't take a genius to realize that NK is off limits for tourism. The Chinese don't even go there for vacation
