I think you misunderstood me. I was saying that Trump may have accomplished exactly what he wanted with the “war games” and that’s why he’s willing to suspend them now. I most certainly trust his judgment at this point more than any other person in government.
They weren’t Trumps war games, we ‘ve been having big regular joint war games for many years, Foal Eagle in the fall and Team Spirit in the spring were the ones I played in but that was many years past so certainly there have been changes
Team Spirit was always a big deployment of joint forces and it was always scheduled annually
Im sure there will be complaining by “ military” sources and “ military expert’ talking heads about how “ dangerous” it will be to cut back on these games
But they are games
and there are many ways to change the game which are probably a lot more realistic of an actual conflict with evolving technology
