N Korea charges $2M for Otto Warmbier med care; Trump Pays?

Well, this happened:

The North Korean government presented the United States with a bill for $2 million for the hospital care of Otto Warmbier, the American college student who was held as a prisoner by Pyongyang, and insisted the US sign a pledge to pay the bill before releasing him from their custody in 2017, according to two sources familiar with the matter.


Well, this is certainly one of Mr. Kims most fantastical adventures in the book series "The Rocket Man". Jokes aside I am really surprised that no one in "Best" Korea thought to themselves: "Hey, this makes us looks like dicks". Really it's just insult to injury for Otto's family.

Yeah fuck them. Seriously fuck them.

Maybe it's time for some border or airspace "incident" to show them who means business.

Otto is dead, so no payment. Also, they wouldn't have had to hospitalize him if they didn't arrest him over something trivial.

Sort of a fucked up version of billing the family for the bullet used to shoot the accused. Maybe we should mail NK a giant rubber check for 1 quadrillion dollars endorsed by Colonel Sanders with "Fuck You" in the memo.

Not to mention in the parts of the world that are not North Korea, taking a poster of the current head of state doesn't land you in a coma.

That would cause the PRoC to retaliate as they are allied to NK, setting off WW3.

If Otto Warmbler didn’t want his operation performed in North Korea he could have gotten it somewhere else. But he specifically chose NK for it’s superior healthcare system. They may not have succeeded in healing him but they did try. They should receive some compensation.

I guess your definition of special treatment is beating a person over the head with a pipe until they go into a coma they will never wake up from?

I fail to understand why no one thinks his hospital stay should be payed for. Did the hospital not try to save the man?

Well, this is certainly one of Mr. Kims most fantastical adventures in the book series "The Rocket Man". Jokes aside I am really surprised that no one in "Best" Korea thought to themselves: "Hey, this makes us looks like dicks". Really it's just insult to injury for Otto's family.

The US should mail them a bill for $4 million and label it "Screw off".

How do you know he was beaten with a pipe? Supposing he was beaten, it may have been some other object.

No just bill them for the foreign aid they've received.

That'd work.
I think it might actually be many a time more than what I proposed if I recall if you wanna add shipping costs and logistics.
