So that American wasn't killed, just sentenced to 15 years of hard labor, where he could die.

Perhaps North Korea actually listens?

They'll release him sooner or later, like those two American journalists a few years ago.

We'll see. The last time that happened North Korea used it as "Look, America is capitulating!" propaganda. With recent events the government might not want to let that happen.

Wouldn't that be a good thing from their point of view? It'd allow them to back down semi-gracefully from all of their recent threats, at least in the eyes of the citizenry.

Country parallels are fun.

I personally feel that the 3 fossil fuels would form some kind of evil carbon based axis in order to commit genocide against the renewable mechanisms of solar, tidal, wind and hydro. Nuclear power would sit in the corner doing a Switzerland.
Amidst the carnage nobody suspects THE NUCLEAR WORLD FUSION!

Okay so I get that this is a real problem of this man being sent to a death camp.

but what about the thousands of North Koreans sent to these death camps?
where's there spot in the news?

seems like the media only cares about when people from first world countries are in danger.

That Westerner being sentenced is new. Koreans being sentenced happens all the time, so what's the point of reporting it?
