WSJ: “SEOUL—The U.S. and South Korea will halt ongoing military drills midway through their planned run, days after President Trump professed his strong ties with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and demanded the joint exercises be scaled back.
The 11-day “Ulchi Freedom Shield” exercise will now end Friday, six days earlier than originally scheduled, Seoul officials said. The abrupt curtailment had taken South Korea by surprise, the country’s foreign minister told lawmakers Wednesday.”tae kim (@firstadopter)Marco should tell Trump that if Taiwan (chip wafers) or Korea (memory chips) go down, the U.S. and global economy will implode into a depression. So perhaps we should aim for maximum deterrence against our adversaries attacking those two countries.
I can’t believe I even have to say this. Politicians need to do their jobs and speak up for U.S. national security interests against this idiocy. I’m just a Substacker.— https://x.com/firstadopter/status/2089134496553550309
