War games are necessary to insure readiness and work our coordination of forces. Giving them up leaves both us and our allies in the area weakened.
We will be fine. South Korea's Moon could not be happier with how the meeting of Trump and Kim went and he and his country have a lot more at stake than liberals in America who seem to find fault with every single part of it.
Since when does the left care about military readiness? That is a new one.
Nothing has changed. The war games we were playing with S. Korea were designed to show force and intimidate N. Korea. Not doing them does not make us less ready. Its a pretty minor concession if it moves the ball forward.
I'm with Bolton and and always have been. I have been calling for nuking North Korea for years. Better to kill a few hundred thousand Koreans than have our country nuked.
And you sound like an armchair warrior at best. Military exercises are extremely important - just like fire drills. Unless you go through the motions, you don't find and correct the problems.
Honestly, I never buy this. I find that whenever the right does something they previously opposed, their supporters will say they were the lone dissenter. I'm expecting this to happen in the future too. If a Democrat were to bring family into the White House, have businesses where they profit while in office, have in-laws negotiating with other countries for family loans, etc. Republicans will say "I never agreed with Trump on that, I was the lone dissenter".
That video is beautifully done because it shows so perfectly how completely biased Fox and the Republican party are, where when Obama did something it was terrible but if Trump does it, they literally play Glory Glory Hallelujah. Insanely biased.
It's not just the politicians. Supporters on both sides viscerally hate the other and just hearing Trump find an opportunity to diss Clinton, say this should have happened five years ago (when Republicans were screaming against us legitimizing North Korea), just keeps that anger raw. I don't think Democrats will ever get over the way Obama was treated or that Republicans elected the birther.
Awww, did itty bitty Barack get his feelings hurt? Maybe if he was more of a man he could have accomplished something...you know, like Trump😉

So if you were POTUS what would you do with N. Korea since you seem to think Trump is doing it all wrong?
Got a better plan?
Everyone was happy when Neville Chamberlain made a deal with Hitler too. Appeasement may make them smile and get them votes, but at the end of the day, it just strengthens Kim and his hand. He is a rock star now, a diplomat, a world player with nukes where he was just a brutal little boy dictator hated by the world back when Trump took over.
North Korea/Kim got world recognition (something NK has been yearning for for decades), and a promise of no more joint US/SK military exercises in South Korea.
Donald Trump got a bunch of press and was able to say he "trusts" Kim.
Maybe you would like to explain to me like I’m a 2 year old what Obama did to deserve his?
Did I say Obama deserved one?
