    I have no problem with Dennis Rodman going on trips to NK. Heck, I'll even encourage it. Dennis has no resources, nothing to negotiate with, and isn't sent on behalf of the United States.
    Dennis Rodman is the embodiment of the cultural influence of America. Even in the hermit kingdom the power of the soft power of the US can be seen by leaders.
    The only thing Rodman can do is be cool, ask for favors (like releasing prisoners), and start the cornerstone foundation of diplomacy. The USA gets only benefits.
    As long as Rodman doesn't participate in taking resources in or out of NK, then what's the problem. He's a freeloading diplomat that's a third party between 2 warring states.

      Removing the person from their actions, it's great. It could be Dennis, it could be Seth Rogan, it can even be Joe Rogan for all I care. But the idea of a person trying to make another nation understand differences is perfectly fine.
      Again, as long as Rodman doesn't participate in the corruption then I don't care.

      @@CryptidFlame although I think Rodman's relationship with Kim is a positive help voor the US and the West, Safwaan talks about North Korea as if stories about concentration camps and horrible conditions in general are made up. Both can be true. North Korea is a country that abuses it's population AND Rodman's visits and relationship with Kim can be helpful to gain influence and hopefully steer the country and region to a better end. I like this way much more than war like they did with Saddam Hussein (who also was a genocidal nut against the Kurds, something many people tend to forget, something I recognize while still being against the war in Iraq as the only solution) or Ghadaffi.

    I view Rodman as a true clown. He is not dangerous in any way and both sides seem to understand that he is not trying to make things worse. I think he should be free to go back to North Korea whenever he wants to reenforce the american culture concept. He knows the risks of finding himself on the other side of the goodwill he is used to.
    As far as how I feel about the US using it's resources to extricate him if necessary, it is Dennis Rodman after all. I wouldn't exactly let him be the tipping point to end the cease fire.
