He pulling back assets because he has over stretched the U.S mighty war machine
this shows a huge weakness to the rest of the world .. you still got all the cards Donny ?
Donald was reminded the day of the exercises, and thought, here is an opportunity to teach SK for not joining my illegal war. I need to save ammo and the War Dept is way over budget anyway.
SK knows the USmilitary regime is a liability in gulf states. They are seeking the return of military command back to SK from the paper tiger.
That money meant for joint drill has been taken to Donald trump's accounts ,he is becoming more richer.
South Korea recently said they want peace and reunification with the North. Trump just wanted to be the winner of the show.
Oh ,i get it. Trump is a genius strategist, another great deal underway.
The United States has never had any allies; it has only temporary partners and vassals whom the U.S. can use and abandon at any moment, forgetting about their existence.
Pay back time Trump is, savage
Eiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Hmmmmmmmmm
What is Trump making out of this one must ask oneself?? Business deals with Nth Korea?
It's already eroded
Just an excuse because the US is running out of money and time 😂 Just say it, don't beat around the bush…
🎉
@7:20 "we'll look at the bromance" 😂 thank you for that
It's quite clear that South korea denied some of Trump's request on Iran so he threatened South Korea.
Why does Europe keep worrying about Trump and not focus on the things they can control like getting Ukraine ballistic defense missiles. Europe is so pathetic.
Let’s withdraw the U.S. troops from S. Korea and cleanly split from S. Korea; we can’t stand S. Korea any longer either. After all, bullies should stay with other bullies
No one can trust this corrupt felon.
Condemns American Communists, yet embraces overseas Communism?
I would love to hear what Trump's "good friends," Kim, Xi, and, of course Putin say about him behind closed doors.
Germany is eroding the credibility of our' Alliance
It's called keeping enemies at arms reach
Trump and his dictator friend club (Putin, Kim, "Iran") is threatening the centuries old history of America's true and real allies and friends.
But a hilarious fool like Trump will never be even close to "nuke" this historic bond of shared values and deep trust into the societies of these allied countries.
The solution is kick the USA out of NATO. Propose that other nations join a combined worldwide alliance on similar lines to NATO, excluding the USA.
Chump seems to think that NATO is is personal militia.
DW Should ban in US
Times like this, I wish that guy in Butler had spent a few more days practicing.
What was the reason? Money od course. Grift.
No thanks 😂
Asia contains the wisdom to manage its own affairs. The USA military is the source of tension and mistrust in the region.
I’m thoroughly convinced that he’s expediting the downfall of the United States
No doubt a deal to build hotels in North Korea will be announced via Taco Bonespurs media team.
Trump looks at North Korea as role model for the USA.
We are witnessing more cognitive decline…
It seems like Trump is saying that since they’ve reduced the South Korea-U.S.
exercises in the Far East from North Korea, they shouldn’t worry and should go ahead and devastate Ukraine together with Russia
