If I were president, it would take every fiber of my being to keep a cool and rational head and not to launch a retaliation against them for it.
I have a hard time not considering this as an act of war. Taking one of our citizens for their own petty personal purposes, and treating them like a savage, causing their death.

There's an easy solution to that. Someone​ should get Obama to say that USA citizens should be able to go to NK.Instead of worrying about fucking Cuba, the administration should be far more concerned about our citizens going to NK.

You want to start a nuclear war because of 1 dead guy? I feel sorry for him and his family but starting a war is just wow.

You would choose millions of your allies dying and huge war for one death.
That is insane.
That's about the opposite thing to do in this situation. It's bad but there are warnings on going to certain places in this world for Americans. I'm not even sure why anyone would want to visit North Korea. The DMZ is enough for me.I have a hard time not considering this as an act of war.

A travel ban wouldn't work as North Korea already denies entry to Americans.
Usually, Americans get in by bribing the North Korean embassy in China and getting a fake Australian or Canadian passport.

Doesn't a visit to the DMZ allow people to cross the line and technically be in North Korea?
In the blue house.
I mentioned retaliation not war, and I didn't say I'd do it, but I'd be damn well tempted to. I'm sorry, but I'd have a hard time letting them just take one of the people who as a president I'd feel responsible for and let them treat him like a piece of trash until he dies.
Now would I start a war? Of course not, because that would lead to more lives lost, but something would be done, not necessarily in terms of arms or warfare.
I'm sorry for quoting this again
But this is why NK is so paranoid and building nukes.
No other country is threatened with war for the mistreatment death of one national. It shows a desire for war looking for a pretext. Lots of governments have mistreated US citizens and lead to their deaths.
Its no wonder that NK's chief policy is a deterrent that would foreclose on people thinking like this.
That's a no. It's a place to visit to see and feel the tension of both nations but it's not a place to cross over. I think the North Koreans would immediately arrest you if you did.Doesn't a visit to the DMZ allow people to cross the line and technically be in North Korea?

I have always wondered that. I thought the DMZ was neither South Korea OR North Korea. Its just a 5 mile wide neutral zone
Meh ...
NK doesn't run the risk of war if they just sit in their ivory towers and stop building nukes though. The humanitarian crisis along with proximity to SK and China borders act as nice deterrents as is.

North Korea killed an American citizen. There will be hell to pay in time.
Did you just make this up

There was never a ban on US visitors, just it used to be limited to the Mass Games and this hasn't been the case for 7 years
When one is dealing with a sane, rational actor on the other side, sure. I'd readily agree with that conclusion.
Alas, the orange cretin rules.
Also, as a previous US administration has shown, the country is not above simply making shit up and disregarding UN findings if they wanna bomb some place.
I mean, if we signed a peace deal, maybe. But they saw Gaddafi, Saddam and Norega.
There's no guarantee if your chief goal is regime security. Also nukes enable coercive diplomacy which would give them a stronger hand in any negotiations with Japan or SK
Ok. So instead of a bribe, now you're paying an entrance fee.
Yeah. It's time to teach NK that the only people aloud to murder Americans with zero repercussions are the police.

Curious how much their leverage in negotiations changes if their good will with china decreases as they continue towards nuclear capabilities.
Getting a visa to America isn't free for everyone. Just sayingOk. So instead of a bribe, now you're paying an entrance fee.

I just had to pay 6 USD to get into the US to stay with my girlfriend's family.

Are you saying American visa fees line the pockets of nameless government officials or that North Korean entry fees are on the level processing expenses?
Nah, if anything Trump administration will go hard on this. He gets hard on dealing with other countriesNot during this admin. Trump doesn't have the stones to handle North Korea.
