Business as usual in NK means full steam ahead with nuclear weapons.

Trump called off military exercises between US forces in So Korea and the ROK (South Korea) in exchange for ...NOTHING.

Trump was played.

Stopping the exercises will erode readiness. That’s why Kim wants them stopped.

Read the last paragraph of the article.

The war games are stopped until Trump says otherwise. Mattis was referring to “the future”. In the meantime, readiness is ERODED. Please brush up on your cause and effect.

Military exercises are essential to “winning”. You don’t practice you end up with a cluster flux where a lot of our people die. Those war games are complicated.

I participated in those exercises when I was stationed in Korea.

Kim did not get played. TRUMP was played.

Military preparedness exercises are essential for readiness. New people cycle in. Old ones get rusty. There's only so much that can be done via simulation.

Trump cancelled them. Got nothing in return.

Trump flew halfway around the world to praise Kim and sign a worthless document.

Kim is still building nuclear weapons.

Trump got played.

Now pompei contradicts trump and says NK is a nuclear threat. Wouldn't it be nice if they could get their story straight on little matters like nuclear proliferation?

Have you EVER been stationed in SK? You should brush up on your knowledge of what actually happens in SK...go ahead...ask me how I know....NOTHING is being eroded....


What a bunch of crap....1 exercise a year and that is going to erode readiness? What about all the other training that goes on? The Army goes to the field (training exercises) so often that you have to schedule the training site 6-8 months out because there is always training going on....


The AF does not stop flying it's training mission, they have flight hour requirements they have to conduct yearly...




The U-2 out of Osan AB is not going to stop flying....period.....
