On January 23, 1968 a US Navy ship, the USS Pueblo, was captured by North Korea while conducting environmental research offshore. North Korea killed one sailor during the seizure and held its 82 crewmen for 11 months and kept the ship as a museum. This incident has been cited for decades as proof that North Korea can never be trusted. However, evidence suggests that the secret mission of the USS Pueblo was to get captured!

The USN is a joke.
All they can do is launch aircraft to attack innocent civilians.
A liability to humanity and to themselves.
They are as dumb as frozen rocks.
“Environmental research”??? Is this what spying is called nowadays??? How stupid do you think we are??? It was out-and-out espionage and today, 2021, the US still hasn’t learned a damn thing.
I have two very close friends in American Intelligence who were on Duty when that happened. I was stationed there in 1970 and there wasn’t any North Korean Intelligence that could be found because I was told, “because the Pueblo was captured”.
