He probably doesn’t want to come back and NK probably is happy to have him. He was facing assault charges and he can probably live an ok life as a propaganda piece for NK.
The last american to defect to North Korea lived there his whole life and died in 2016… It is possible he will be able to live a normal life there if he is not stupid that is.
But then again defecting was maybe the stupidest thing he could have done.
Why?
How much taxpayer money is going to be wasted to bring this idiot home?
How many more useful things could the state department be doing if they didn’t have to bargain with NK to release this fool?
Not even getting into that this guy was facing charges back home for assaulting a South Korean civilian.
