Danny Gratton was the 40-year old British roommate of Otto Warmbier who was featured in another article. He seemed to exonerate Warmbier but didn't really know. They both got lost from the tour group while Warmbier was alleged to have tampered with the propaganda banner.

As for assassination attempts, I'm sure one of these days the North Korean civilians are going to get sick and tired of starving and living in poverty while their ruler continues getting fatter and living the lifestyles of the rich and famous.

I doubt it.


Fidel Castro never got assassinated and his people suffered under his regime

I read that earlier today. It makes you wonder if it wasn't a case of mistaken identity on NK's part. They meant to detain Danny Gratton and found Warmbier instead. Gratton disappeared for hours on New Year's. He eventually found his way back to the hotel by cab. His North Korean minders were very upset when he went missing. I'm sure they were worried about their own punishment if he wasn't found, or if their superiors knew he disappeared for a while.

They only suffered because the US targeted Cuba with economic sanctions.

Cuba and Nicaragua didn't have the rampant death squads that they still have in El Salvador, Honduras, Guatamela, and other countries. The rony is that both defeated CIA-backed insurgents and turned out to be have less long-term violence.

Are you saying that the people of Cuba and NK want iron-tight rule? Then why do they flee in boats or across the DMZ to escape? And they want to escape into CIA harassment?

There was a US college "professor " who said he got what he deserved for being a rich white male. We need to drain the swamp that is the elitist, liberal education brainwashing system.

True enough.

Hitler killed himself. He wasn't assassinated by those who he most hurt either.

He killed himself when his bunker was surrounded. He didn't want to be taken alive at any cost.
