Foolish and dangerous.
Baloney, they left out the part where President Trump said the war games could be started up again very quickly if Chairman Kim did not follow through on his promises.
Do you just want to ride with the MSM for this?
Pretty sure we can put our forces off his coast faster than he can spin up a nuke program.
You really think an enemy is going to follow the War Game "directions"?
The overt “war games” were always a means of reminding Kim Jong Un that the power of the US was very close.
Now that Kim has met Donald Trump face to face, that was probably even more overwhelming than watching ships through binoculars going through exercises offshore.
Before, the threat was veiled and seemed to be inconsequential. Now, having been in the presence of REAL power, taking away the war games for Kim is sort of dropping the veil somewhat.
By no means was this a relaxation of intentions or vigilance.
They’re not leaving - they are still stationed there.
Pill....you are echoing the same comments as what is being posted on democratic underground.
Nonsense!
Our troops & ships aren’t going anywhere. They’ve been doing war-games for months now. You assertion is fallacious at best.
Now the press in Seoul and Tokyo and elsewhere (not CNN nor FOX) is exploding in conjecture and it is sending a shock wave tonight through the defense and national security structures of S. Korea and particularly Japan tonight. No less than four or five senior Korean defense specialists have sounded alarm tonight in an article in the Chosun Ilbo, a major Korean language conservative daily (quite reputable and sourced here on FR for years) in Seoul--over this kind of loose talk--not to mention all this drivel about trusting Kim Jong Un, loves his country, will denuke, smart guy, don't worry about CVID not being in the signed statement. etc. etc. etc..
Within ten minutes of Trump saying “war games” will be stopped you can bet your bottom dollar Bolton, Pompeo and Mathis had a talk with him. Look for the president in his next news conference to say when Kim has destroyed his nukes joint military exercises will be hopefully ended. The lib stations are already having a field day with Trump’s comments. Hell, that’s why he probably the reason he made them. CNN, MSNBC, and all the rest “He’s abandoning the people of Korea, he wants to end protecting them
and bring all the troops home”! What idiots. There’s no war going on in Western Europe and we still have a military presence in many countries, most specifically Germany. We will always have a military presence in South Korea. If the day comes North Korea is not a threat to the Pacific theater, there might be a small reduction in the US military presence in Korea, but it will be there.
