I just read the story about this. I wouldn’t have understood the entire thing from your post had I not read the story. A lot here aren’t going to get it either.

This was an old post someone found. Basically by all accounts she is overstating the death toll while also railing against the country that took her in. In other words typical of the POS that she is.

After Mueller report, Twitter bots pushed 'Russiagate hoax' narrative
A network of more than 5,000 pro-Trump Twitter bots railed against the “Russiagate hoax” shortly after the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report last week, according to data gathered by a prominent disinformation researcher and analyzed by NBC News. The network illustrates the ongoing challenge Twitter faces in persistent efforts to manipulate its platform.

These bots, however, did not appear to come from Russia. Instead, the bots had ties to a social media operation that previously pushed messages backing the government of Saudi Arabia and were connected to a person who claimed to be a private social media consultant, according to internet domain and account registration records. The bots, which were created last November and December, were pulled down by Twitter on Sunday night for breaking the social network’s rules against “manipulation,” the company said.

North Korea demanded $2M for return of captured American
U.S. President Donald Trump approved payment of a $2 million US bill presented by North Korea to cover its care of comatose American Otto Warmbier, a college student who died shortly after being returned home from 17 months in a North Korean prison, the Washington Post reported on Thursday.

The Post said an invoice was handed to U.S. State Department envoy Joseph Yun hours before Warmbier, 22, was flown out of Pyongyang in a coma on June 13, 2017. Warmbier died six days later.

The envoy, who was sent to retrieve Warmbier, signed an agreement to pay the medical bill on instructions passed down from Trump, the Post reported, citing two unidentified people familiar with the situation.

"We do not comment on hostage negotiations, which is why they have been so successful during this administration," White House spokesperson Sarah Sanders told Reuters.

U.S. policy is to refuse to pay ransom for the release of Americans detained abroad.

Yun also told Reuters he could not comment on diplomatic exchanges. But in an interview with CNN on Thursday, he said he was given broad orders to secure Warmbier's release and he understood the instructions came directly from Trump.

"Yes, my orders were completely: Do whatever you can to get Otto back," he told CNN.

Yun said he understood that money had been exchanged in previous releases of U.S. prisoners and was justified as "hospital costs," but he gave no further details.

In another interview on CNN, Yun said the U.S. did not pay any ransom for American prisoners held by Pyongyang while he was the special representative for North Korea. He was in the post from October 2016 to March 2018.

Representatives for the U.S. State Department did not respond to a request for comment.

The bill was sent to the U.S. Treasury Department and remained unpaid through 2017, the Post reported. It was not known if the administration later paid the bill.

Warmbier, a University of Virginia student visiting North Korea as a tourist, was imprisoned in January 2016. North Korea state media said he was sentenced to 15 years of hard labour for trying to steal an item bearing a propaganda slogan from his hotel.

Reached by phone, Fred Warmbier, Otto Warmbier's father, declined to comment on the report or to confirm the Post's account that he had said the hospital bill sounded like ransom.

Trump has denied paying North Korea to release hostages. "I got back our hostages; I never paid them anything," he said at a September news conference.

Warmbier's parents issued a sharp statement in March after Trump said he believed North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's claim not to have known how their son was treated.

The U.S. president also praised Kim's leadership after their second summit collapsed in February in Hanoi when the two sides failed to reach a deal for Pyongyang to give up its nuclear weapons.

"Kim and his evil regime are responsible for the death of our son Otto," Fred and Cindy Warmbier said in March. "Kim and his evil regime are responsible for unimaginable cruelty and inhumanity. No excuses or lavish praise can change that."

Trump said later he held North Korea responsible for the young man's death.

A U.S. court in December ordered North Korea to pay $501 million US in damages for the torture and death of Warmbier.

An Ohio coroner said Warmbier died from a lack of oxygen and blood to the brain. Pyongyang blamed botulism and ingestion of a sleeping pill and dismissed torture claims.

Tough call and anyone that makes it about R's and D's is an idiot. Trump says no money was paid although it seems it was promised. I also read there was a bill sent indicting to me the money actually wasn't paid. I wouldn't be mad if Obama paid $2 million for a "hospital bill" to get an American back. I don't support being blackmailed and I am sure not one person on this forum does despite how much the hate Trump, Obama or any pol they disagree with. With that said if that was the only way to get him back behind the scenes so be it. We are in it for the long game. Think how petty that makes them look. If it was your family member and the only way to get him back was paying a hospital bill as bullshit as we all know that is, we would want our govt. to bring them home (unless it was my sister).
