McCain: Trump halting Korean military exercises a 'bad negotiating tactic'
The Hill ^ | June 14, 2018 | Jordain Carney

GOP Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) blasted the Trump administration's decision to halt military exercises with South Korea as part of the ongoing negotiations with North Korea.

"Suspending U.S.-South Korea joint military exercises is a mistake. Making unnecessary and unreciprocated concessions is not in our interests—and it is a bad negotiating tactic," McCain said in a statement on Thursday.

Trump announced after his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that the United States will stop “war games” with South Korea “unless and until” negotiations with the North go poorly.

Agence France-Presse reported on Thursday that the Pentagon had “suspended indefinitely” large-scale military exercises with South Korea.

We’ve heard from this mental midget yet again. As usual, absolutely NOTHING constructive.

John McCain obviously does not understand how to negotiate and what it takes to strike a deal with a world leader.

It’s all about the Defense Industry and defense spending. Our technology has move so far past Kim Jung Un’s that we need 2 or less divisions to defeat him. We have the ability to destroy all his aircraft on the ground, and all his fuel reserves, and supply lines without even crossing the DMZ with any troops. McCain is part of the old school that wants hundreds of billions invested in more bombs, planes and weapons to supply jobs and keep the USA as the worlds largest arms dealer

Yeah, because it didn't funnel money into McCain's personal bank account, like Chuck Keating did.

McCain either needs to get back to work, or he needs to shut up.

He is no longer relevant to anything.
