You haven't seen all the "let's roll" and "reduce North Korea" to rubble posts? Then you need to re-read the thread. What exactly happens to our tens of thousands of troops in the DMZ when we reduce NK to rubble?

You do realize that, unless we take action, the same North Korea that returns our citizen to us as a vegetable will eventually try to attack Los Angeles. We should go after them now. Protecting the citizens of Seoul is not our duty.

Now there's something to consider.

A new low for DCUM?

Get real and get a grip. Otto is in a vegetative state - completely tragic - after a series of events that started with his own defiance of well-publicized North Korean laws. And of course, the kid went to North Korea, but okay. Stop blaming Obama. Stop blaming anyone but A) Otto for making some bad decisions and B) North Korea for continuing to be a despotic country with no regard for the sanctity of human rights.

Re-read this thread.

DP. You can't honestly believe that non-hypocritical conservatives also think Otto should have never been in NK. Requiring someone to think and take personal responsibility does not equate to lack of sympathy for his current medical condition. However, you must agree that it could have all beeen avoided.

I think that liberals are blaming Otto for what happened because he's a white 'frat boy'. He was on a legal and legitimate tour.

When in Rome, do as the Romans. If the law says you don't remove political signs, you don't remove political signs.

Yup. Especially in a country that A) despises America and B) has an egregious record on human rights.

Sadly, yes. And wouldn't have said this until yesterday and seeing his father and his entitlement and victim routine. Nauseating. Otto suffered a punishment that didn't fit the crime. But that kid should never have been in NK in the first place. PERIOD.

You know, I watched his press conference. Mr. Warmbier went out of his way NOT to outright blame the Obama administration. But, when asked what they did to help, what do you expect him to say? You think he should lie about the help they gave him, or didn’t give him? They told him and his family and his community to lay low. Don’t make waves. Don’t upset the N Koreans. And, while this family waited and visited DC a dozen times, the administration did nothing. They never had a meeting with Obama.
Obama cannot be blamed for the student being there. But, he really didn’t do much to work at bringing him home.

Exactly. Obama did nothing. Trump did everything possible.

Shhhhhh......don't say that. It upsets the liberals to hear the truth.

Could not agree more. Liberals are using this tragedy to:

3) Hate on a white fraternity member

Fully agree. The best way to do this is to lean on China to take away all the 'goodies' that Kim Jung Jerk and his closest have from China. When they have to live as other North Koreans have been forced to, the regime will collapse.

That's the claim. But the reality is that you don't know that Obama didn't do anything and can't say he didn't do anything. North Korea has been a very difficult regime to deal with for longer than Obama or Trump. And you also don't know what Trump did or didn't do and are just assuming that Trump somehow magically negotiated the kid back to the US.

The reality of it is probably more that the kid was on the verge of dying and the North Koreans returned him because of that far more than anything to do with Trump or Obama.

Yes a preemptive war against a country with nuclear weapons, a psychotic government and a country full of citizens brainwashed to die for their leaders sounds like a really really really terrible idea.

You forgot hate on a white UVA student. Any other astute observations?
