Who knows. It seems like anything can be interpreted as a crime these days. Hopefully he's got good lawyers advising him.

Agreed. This is immensely foolish on his part. And he can rest assured that his identity is known.

One crime does not justify another.

I don't think the North Korean government would have standing in a US court.

We signed an extradition treaty in 2003 with the UK:

The Parties agree to extradite to each other, pursuant to the provisions of this Treaty, persons sought by the authorities in the Requesting State for trial or punishment for extraditable offenses.

As I understand it, this was an extension of the original 1972 treaty.

NK committed a sovereign act of war, not a crime. NK is not under common jurisdiction as the victim.

Individual citizens don’t get to define acts of war
