Military nor South Korea were not aware of Trumps gift of stopping military exercises.







Army Col. Chad Carroll, a spokesman for U.S. Forces Korea, says they've “received no official updated guidance on execution or cessation on any upcoming training exercises."

Loads of empty promises, with no thought going into them. Nothing but a big act, as usual. It was just another show for his cult followers, who are convinced he actually did something other than knocking down the straw man he set up a few months ago.

They rejoiced at this meeting and haven’t figured out yet that Trump will abandon the entire Peninsula and say it was because South Korea fails to pay US for security.

obligations between So Korea and the US. Trump would need Congress to unwind that sort of thing. The US maintains several military bases and port facilities that probably factor into monitoring the activities of our foes in that part of the world, and their loss would impact our national security.

People like John McCain would be the first calling for impeachment.

John is awful quiet this morning like his godforsaken party!

The GOP is hung over celebrating the victory of killer dictatorship over democracy and the rule of law I guess.
