Liberals think it’s a joke when conservatives say nobody respects America anymore, but the latest incident between the US and a hostile nation shows that it’s absolutely not.
As if Iran seizing and holding American sailors in the Persian Gulf wasn’t enough, North Korea joined in with a provocative action of it’s own. Not content to test nuclear weapons against the will of the international community, the isolated Asian country is holding an American citizen in captivity.
That is, the nation revealed that it is holding an American citizen. The American, 21 year-old Otto Frederick Warmbier, has reportedly been in the custody of the North Koreans for three weeks. He was heading back to China after a visit to North Korea through the Young Pioneer Tours group when he was stopped by security at Pyongyang airport and whisked away.
The United States does not maintain an embassy in the communist state, but it deals through the Swedish embassy in Pyongyang. Both the State Department and the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs are working with the Young Pioneer group to negotiate Warmbier’s release.
See how the government responded to North Korea’s provocation on the next page:
I have a question? Knowing we are hated by all these countries such as North Korea,Why are you going there?Youi have to know what will happen if you do.Why should the people of America spend their tax dollars to get you back? There is so much to see in this beautiful country,why would you want to go over there?
Ban him. Stop suffering his corruption.

Definitely not a top tourist destination. He’s probably not the brightest guy in the world or a real loss to America’s gene pool.
Really ? Anyone going to North Korea is an idiot , asking to be arrested . How in the hell is anyone but him and the young pioneers group responsible for this.. Is like the ones going to Iran to push religion, what part of they will put you under the jail is it that they don’t understand.. I hate Liberals and not a Obama follower but really this is Obama’s fault b******t is really killing the credibility of this site.. The man does enough$#%&!@*to report on without you guys having to blame him because last night you stubbed your toe walking to the bathroom to p**s.. Get a grip .. And the negotiating with terrorists b******t is more of that war hawk c**p from those that want every comment across the planet to be used as an excuse to bomb someone.. You don’t want to be arrested in North Korea ? stay the hell out or did they not know they signed up for a tour of Hell.. Oh yeah and just in case if you go to mexico you might get kidnapped and do not drink the watter.. You know all common sense stuff..
