U.S., South Korea to Suspend Joint Air Drill Again, Yonhap Says

this is a mistake

north korea continues to test ballistic missles and we should give them nothing as long as they do

saves US tax payer $$$$$ by not doing the exercises
..there hasn't been any war since 1953

There hasn't been peace since 1953, technically the Korean War never ended.

there hasn't been war there since 1953--plain and simple--undeniable

Yeah its been nothing but peace.
List of border incidents involving North and South Korea - Wikipedia

sure--that equates to a war--a war with hundreds of thousands dead/cities destroyed/etc


hahahhahaa--a HIJACKING??? with no one dead???
1. that's not a border incident
2. no one dead
3. your comparison is ridiculous

No its not you fucktard I was stationed in South Korea for almost 2 years and the tensions were always high.

Wars are prevented through strength not weakness

joint exercises improve our readiness and demonstrate to communist china that we can defend ourselves

please learn some history
.....o man!!! the strongest, most powerful nations not only did NOT prevent wars--they LOST them!!!!
Britain and Russia in Afghanistan...the US in Vietnam
WW1 was called the War to END all wars!!!
..ever hear of the Korean War? Vietnam? Persian Gulf War 1 and 2?
Falklands Islands War? --etc to infinity

...the US has been conducting exercise for DECADES!!

So you think military weakness is the best defense?

thats the weirdest dialect of liberish I ever heard

the only reason the north has not invaded the south a second time is because they know we can kick their ass

...there have always been wars...exercises don't stop them
hahahahahhahahahaha

there have always been wars...exercises don't stop them
hahahahahhahahahaha

if not they help ensure that we win

yes--you DO need to learn some history
the Russians did many exercises before Afghanistan = loss
..the US lost in Vietnam--had NOTHING to do with exercises
..we haven't won in Afghanistan
..we didn't beat the Chinese in Korea
..etc etc

we didn't beat the Chinese in Korea

You are consistently misinformed about history as well as current events

We slaughtered the chinese in korea and saved South Korea

you equate not performing exercises to military weakness--that's liberal logic

Practice improves performance

..I was in the military for 8 years--I participated in military exercises/etc
..I've been reading/researching war for over 40 years
...Iraq was highly ''practiced'' with many years of war vs Iran--but they got their a$$es whipped by the US..Iraq was much more experienced than the US forces--Iraq ''practiced'' with the real thing--yet Iraq lost ---horribly
.....

You can drag in iraq or the War of 1812 or Napoleon invading russia

All are off topic

The subject here is south korea

Our annual war games with south koea and japan are useful and productive

Thats why our enemies to the north hate them

Personally, I think we should keep doing the same thing that hasn't worked since 1953. Why try to negotiate and end to this mess?

I support trumps efforts to talk the crazy communist dictator back to sanity

But weakening our defense is not the answer

U.S., South Korea to Suspend Joint Air Drill Again, Yonhap Says

The U.S. and South Korea will suspend a planned air-power military drill for the second straight year to avoid increasing tensions with North Korea while denuclearization talks between Washington and Pyongyang are stalled, Yonhap News reported, citing an unidentified official.

north korea continues to test ballistic missles and we should give them nothing as long as they do

No one likes the north korean provocations

But all-out war would be much, much worse

 

[xyz]

I wouldn't have a problem with the suspension of war games if NK was really disarming.

That doesn't appear to be the case here. Quite the contrary.

 

[Mac-7]

The US should withdraw from all of Korea.

Let them sort it out.

Thats what red china wants us to do

I know Americans are tired of world affairs and want to withdraw into our shell but we cant

3. the SKoreans--obviously

if you dont know that then you have no understanding of history

 

[harmonica]

..you are NOT standing by your statements ...your are retreating [ like the UN forces in Korea ] while getting your a$$ kicked by me-
..first you said ''joint exercises'' prevent wars/etc--then you retreat:

if not they help ensure that we win

..then you said we beat the Chinese--but then you retreat and say the communist wanted to take over
facts:
--NK tried to take over SK--US stopped them
--China came in much later when the US was on the border--the US did not stop them from pushing the UN forces out of NK
--the joint exercises do not stop wars
