Trump announced that he will order an end to regular “war games” that the United States conducts with ally South Korea, a reference to annual joint military exercises that are an irritant to North Korea.

Trump called the exercises “very provocative” and “inappropriate” in light of the optimistic opening he sees with North Korea. Ending the exercises would also save money, Trump said.

Did Trump get snookered?
Halting all exercises, SK not sure what that means.
Appears to be quite vague on specifics
Now it will be up to Pompeo and others to start a very long process.

You radical leftists always have to find something to attack Trump on. Do you honestly believe that S. Korea had no input on this issue? This truly is a sickness on the part of the left that they cannot give Trump credit for anything. Such hatred and so little common sense

we have to remember this is a war between south korea and north korea. We, the united states have no right to intefere in a civil dispute.

Yeah, other than Mutual Defense Treaty between the United States and the Republic of Korea that was signed October 1, 1953.

Does being a rabid Trump supporter make one completely ignorant of world affairs and history, or do only those that are completely ignorant of world affairs and history become rabid Trump supporters?

If we have followed the hawk wing of the party - Lindsey Graham, we would already be at war.
 
Trump got nothing and gave up the military exercise. There are no other specifics or even any details of any specifics.

Do you accept NK's promises ? I don't.

Well everyone loses in a trade war. Trump wants a sunset clause and his referring to dairy is just a distraction.

Thing is what does the agreement mean regarding halting all Military exercises?

That is a huge win for KJU.

What did the US get from NK?

Keep reading those radical leftwing threads and media reports. What did Trump get?

North Korea agrees to ?complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula' after Trump-Kim summit | Fox News

How can this be anything but good news?
 
JANFU said:
And that was promised and signed off on before. You know that as well as I do.

And where did you get your information? You simply cannot give Trump credit for anything. He could find a cure for cancer and would still be attacked by you and the rest of the radicals. What exactly do you want from this guy since results certainly aren't it?
 
Bucky said:
We cannot afford to allow a Democrat to become president in 2020. Imagine Pochahantas reneging and attacking Kim Jong-un.

This summit sealed Trump's fate. He's a 2-term president.

Pochahantas would be tearing down all borders and would support having us annexed by N.K. This on top of all the good economic news will make the radicals more rabid in their attacks

That has nothing to do with your ignorant statement. You said we have no right to interfere in the dispute between North and South Korea. We are in fact obligated by treaty to defend South Korea.

He was pointing out that denuclearization was agreed on and signed by NK back in 93, and it changed nothing. They haven't even signed anything binding. Why don't you hail Clinton's interactions with NK as a success too?

Actually, no other president has gotten this far with the Norks.

Clinton isn't President and Clinton never met with NK nor did Obama. Nothing Trump does will ever satisfy you so tell us exactly what it is you want and why? Results apparently don't matter to you as hatred has blinded you to reality
 
JANFU said:
They agreed to that prior to. Now pls explain what complete denuking means?
Click to expand...

When exactly did any other President meet with NK and get this far in any negotiations?

Oh I research things.
Now define complete denuking?
Oh and below is the press release from SK on halting military exercises.
Clear they have no idea what that means. Great coordination between allies.


https://www.theguardian.com/world/l...ngapore-us-president-north-korea-kim-jong-un-
The South Korean military issued a statement to NBC News saying: “Regarding President Trump’s comment regarding ending of the combined military drills … we need to find out the exact meaning or intention behind his comments at this point.”

Military officials from both countries, including the US defence secretary, James Mattis, had vigorously opposed curtailing joint military exercises, on the grounds that doing so would undermine both the alliance and its deterrent against North Korean aggression.
