The Trump administration took it seriously and helped these people in a matter of weeks. Yes, the results speak for themselves.

Trying to keep this from being too PARFy, but I'm pretty sure the Fed Govt strongly recommends against going to North Korea.

We've all heard about the various folks that have gone there and been detained for whatever reason. Don't go to NK. And if you do, and you get into trouble, don't expect anyone elso to bail your ass out.

This is kind of like going to Yellowstone, and falling in a geyser pool and then complaining that the park folks didn't do anything. They put up walkways and repeatedly tell you to stay on them. Some moron just fell into one the other day and went to the hospital after being scalded. I guess that's better than the guy that fell into one and died last year. It was dark so they didn't retrieve his body at night. By the next day, the body had dissolved.

You just can't fix stupid. (not you Choco, the kid)
