  1. He will become North Korea’s Barack Obama.

  2. 🙂The US is full of propaganda. This guy knew better than any American that North Korea will kill any American soldier. He can go to somewhere some country else, but why he choose go to North Korea anyway? Do you think he is stupid?

  3. We concurred. So he deliberately deflected
    to N. Korea. Respect his wish. Who you gonna trade for his
    return. Let him go

  4. I get the dissolution, but North Korea tho?!

  5. Travis, you must be so bored in prison dude

  6. What about the Asian, Black & White soldiers missing out of fort hood Texas ?? The only one found (Latina) was cut up into peices and burned.

  7. One less super predator. ✊🏾.

  8. tell north Korea to keep him.

  9. Three major points to note:
    1) If North Korea tells you snow is white, it is an absolute liar and can never be trusted.
    2) Even if the claim of racism is true, it is just another act of subversion against US military via propaganda.
    3) King was set to face disciplinary action in the US for assault and damaging a police car in South Korea. Fleeing to North Korea is a clear sign of desertion and cowardice to face justice.

    In short, there is no gain but humiliation in fighting for his release.

  10. Send Lizzo as a diplomat to release him. She will be the 2nd most obese person in NK.

  11. I wonder WHAT OUR STUPID ASS PRESIDENT, JOE BIDEN IS GOING TO GIVE UP FOR THIS WORTHLESS BLACK MAN. I MEAN DAMN PEOPLE, YOU SAW WHAT HE GAVE UP FOR A WORTHLESS LAW BREAKING FREAKING LESBIAN. BRITTANY GRINER. BOTH ARE BLACK AND HE LOVES BLACKS

  12. Well if he thought he better off in North Korea than face the music in America-he should stay there permanently!

  13. Keep him, we don't want him, total disgrace to the uniform.

  14. He became a real king like his name.

  15. he sounds like he has a mental health problem… “they’re trying to kill me”

  16. I see he took a play right from Bergdahls playbook lol

  17. He wanted this….just let him be.

  18. "And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven."

    "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."

    Bible, Gospel of Luke, chapter 21.

    "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

    Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 17 to 18.

    "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep."

    First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 3 to 6.

    "Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee."

    Acts, chapter 8, verse 22.

    "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

    Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 3.

    "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

    "After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight."

    "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."

    Peter, chapter 3, verse 8.

    "knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."

    Peter, chapter 3, verse 3 to 4.

    "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

    First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 16 to 17.

    "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."

    First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 52.

    "I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left."

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 17, verse 34 to 36.

  19. I sincerely hope more citizens who find the USA so problematic will follow his example and cross the DMZ into best Korea. Let them get their socialist utopia and see the reality of Marxism first hand. Not this idealized dream conjured in their head. If the DPRK isn't as bad as western media leads one to believe and they go on to live in relative luxury like Dresnok then more power to them. If they end up like Warmbier I feel no pity. Just want them gone. I'd be happy to let the Kim regime deal with these woke idiots stuck on victim mentality and expect everything to be handed to them and everyone who disagrees to be ruined.

  20. Oh NOW they are playing the race card. Nice try. Ain't no one buying that load of crap.

  21. Like he won’t face racism I’m North Korea 😂. North Korean fucking despises all Americans

  22. Dude was a scumbag and got in trouble and was coming back to the states to face more charges so when all else fails pull the race card

  23. An indirect negotiation is on via Swiss channel. It's not surprised for Uncle Sam to get a bill above $1 Million USD for the cost of retainment. That defected soldier may choose death over miserable life waiting for him in his homeland.

  24. If the communists are going to make a play, he needs to make a deal with Vladimir Putin to trade that soldier. But if I was Vladimir Putin. That's what I would want As leverage Against western america

  25. He is an useless soldier and stupid.

  26. He just need the tell North Korea he is related to Dennis Rodman

  27. …Fire!

    "Copy that, go loud go loud"

  28. RAciSm be holding us back. We need our reperashuns

  29. Tell them to put him in one of their detainment camps. He earned it.

  30. He is loaded with AIDS and Covid… Trojan horse success!

  31. Travis king wanted to cross North Korea border
    To tell Kim Jong not to be racist ..

    No cracker , no soup…

  32. kay, when he get home he’ll be going to prison for treason

  33. He went there on his own.

  34. "Ill feelings about inhumane treatment and racial discrimination within the US Army."
    It's actually funny how you inhumanly treated the South Koreans while you were in the US Army…
