Yeah, bad answer from Trump there. Do I think NK wanted to kill Otto? No. They don’t kill American prisoners, and after whatever occurred to him, they put him in the hospital for a year & contacted the U.S. so he wouldn’t die on their soil. I don’t know what happened to Otto. However, American prisoners have value, and it’s hard to believe that something happened without Kim knowing. It’s possible a guard went rogue, but again, considering the value of U.S. prisoners, it seems unlikely.
Yeah, they put him in the hospital, all right, but I read somewhere that he was in hideous condition. A comatose patient requires excellent care in order to keep from, frankly, rotting. Must be turned, cleaned, and repositioned every 2hours, to help prevent bed sores, and even at that, without ridiculously expensive special mattresses, they’re likely to get bed sores, anyway. As a retired nurse, I can tell you, a bed side can quickly rot the flesh right down to the bone, in a very short time.
I read an article that said Otto may gave been exposed to botolism. I only entertain the thought that it might be true because no other America, as far as we know, has been tortured to death by the N. Koreans
