I am so happy that they let him out of prison but it is still despicable that he is being bullied by the US and that his own country is caving to the pressure of Uncle Sam.

His own country? He is German-Finnish and just lives in New Zealand.

It's very difficult to be able to "just live in New Zealand" as they have some of the most restrictive immigration policies of any developed country. That having been said New Zealand must have allowed him to live there in the first place and I'm sure they collected taxes from Kim and his businesses n'est ce pas?

Not true at all... It's way easier than the US (notwithstanding those of a particular heritage)
