Re: UVA Student caught in North Korea returned in vegetative
What is strange is how he was returned just a few months after Trump took office. And he didn't even have to trade 5 terrorist from Gitmo to do it. Seems like Obama could have done a lot more, and the kid's dad agrees.Florida Hokie wrote:state.

If he had taken a more active role, you would have accused Obama of negotiating with terrorists.UpstateSCHokie wrote:What is strange is how he was returned just a few months after Trump took office.

Re: UVA Student caught in North Korea returned in vegetative
Not fair IP.
His non action in Nkorea is consistent with his non action with the marine sergeant in mexico.
And it all fits with his working mightily to get bo bergdhal released in exchange for us releasing high-ranking terrorists from gitmo.
This is not a "one off" by obama. It is of a piece with his other anti american actions.

Re: UVA Student caught in North Korea returned in vegetative
He was not caught in NK, he went there on a tour or something, why?, then he stole a poster, do you agree that was a really dumb thing to do? If you take a big risk it may have bad consequences. Problem we have is there is nothing we can do about it, the country is already sanctioned to the max, there is nothing there to bomb and if we take any action and do not wipe them off the map they will destroy south korea thus taking out most of our electronic manufacturing. Maybe the US should put a travel ban in place going to NK, you would think that would be common sense thoFlorida Hokie wrote:state.

Re: UVA Student caught in North Korea returned in vegetative
You are correct. Caught was a bad word. Also, you are correct that what he did was incredibly stupid. Didn't deserve what he got for it though. You wouldn't think a ban would be necessary but I agree, wouldn't be a bad idea at this point.cwtcr hokie wrote:He was not caught in NK, he went there on a tour or something, why?, then he stole a poster, do you agree that was a really dumb thing to do?

A travel ban should be instituted. People going to NK are at risk of being used as political pawns. Travel there is not in our national security interests at this time.
