    First off no. That was not the core question. You said:

    Take, for example, the claim that North Koreans are permitted to leave the country.

    The answer is yes they are permitted. Despite how you attempt to twist what the law says and what we were talking about to dodge this fact.

    Secondly obviously you can’t move to a hostile power during wartime that’s called defecting. No country on Earth currently or has ever allowed that.

    Are you trolling?

      I’m not trolling. This is what people claim when they say people can’t leave the country. Debunking this claim without acknowledging that the core idea is true is dishonest.

      No country on Earth currently or has ever allowed that.

      I am pretty sure that people traveled between the US and the USSR in both directions during the cold war. Indians and Pakistanis can travel back and forth. Heck, Americans can go to Iran right now if they can figure out a way to.

        If you wish to continue to troll I think we should end this here. Citizens of the DPRK are allowed to travel (just not defect to a country they are at war with) what stops them is visa refusals due to UN sanctions. The US and USSR were never at war that’s why it was the cold war. India and Pakistan have normalcy as core parts of their ceasefire terms from the most recent scuffle (which never did escalate to all our war). Funny you bring up Iran who the US never declared war on but do you know where they aren’t allowed travel by the American government, the DPRK because they are at war with them. Please educate yourself and grow up trolling is unbecoming once you mature past 12.
