#3 Otto went on a holiday tour of North Korea

Didn't he get caught trying to steal a poster while he was there? Sorry about what happened to him but maybe he should get a Darwin Award.

Warmbier was taken hostage because he went to North Korea and because KJU wanted him to be taken hostage.

Th Norks held absolute power over him. Thus they could easily coerce him to make any statement and/or to participate in the production of "evidence" of any "crime."

Case closed.

Warmbier's travel to North Korea was unwise, but North Korea was dramatically escalating its aggressive behavior.

He couldn't reasonably have foreseen that he would be arrested and then be mortally injured by exposure to a neurotoxic substance while in custody.

The North Korean did kill Kim Jong Nam on foreign soil using a neurotoxic WMD in 2017. But that was over a year after Warmbier traveled to North Korea.

#6 Warmbier's travel to North Korea was unwise, beyond stupid. JMHO.

#7 Trump was able to get Otto out of NK. Trump also has been able to pressure Kim into stop lobbing missiles and nuke testing and to release remains of GIs from the Korean War. I don't think Trump has raised false expectations. He has said negotiations might not work. A stable peace is worth a try.

#8 I liked how Trump talked about Otto in his CPAC speech.
How it was a very delicate balance. We all know NK was responsible for heinous acts against Otto, however, I think most realize how in the midst of negotiating you don't want to slam KJU, and any success that we may have for the future.
I stayed up late listening to the news conference of Trump B4 he left Vietnam. I cringed with the question about Otto, knowing there was no good answer at that period in time.
