President Donald Trump's decision to scale back joint military exercises with South Korea does not just slight a longtime ally but raises broader concerns about the security interests of the United States in Asia and elsewhere.

“There is no American interest that I can see in this,” said Dan Fried, an assistant secretary of state for European affairs in the George W. Bush administration. “On all levels it makes no sense. It undermines the South Koreans, undermines the Japanese, frightens the Taiwanese, unnerves NATO and emboldens the Chinese, not to mention the North…

Im stating the truth unification of North and South Korea should be up to the Koreans. Not you, not me, not US, not China, not Russia, not Japan. What I or you believe is immaterial. Let them decide. Let them decide the means. If they aren’t bloodthirsty unity may happen like East and West Germany. If they are bloodthirsty then unity might happen…

Sorry but studies have shown that the US kills hundreds of thousands of people each year through sanctions. The problem with this is that you have created enemies which vehemently loath you. Iran isn’t making a deal with you because of the sanctions, North Korea has become strong by allying with Russia. All Russia did to get their allegiance and…

Can you say North Korea chose incorrectly. Iran did everything the West asked under Obama they signed the JCPOA and adhered to it. Yet the West broke their word and tossed out the JCPOA and attacked Iran, unprovoked. History has shown that North Korea was correct. Only nuclear weapons stop the West attacking them. And boy has the West a long…

We need to start addressing this kind of crap as - “Trump is alienating every democracy country from America”.

Same reason they reached out to the Kurds to fight for them (and got rebuffed). Same reason they called on Iranians to rise up for them (who didn't). Same reason Trump hasn't invaded yet, nor Israel - they don't want to risk their own necks, they want someone else to take those risks and do the hard work for them. Trump doesn't have the balls to…

Doubt this will be substantial. Many of the encounters in that theatre are congressionally mandated. A drawdown of even 5k troops would balloon into the billions for an immediate departure. It’s a reckless waste of taxpayer dollars to do so.

Why do people still frame everything related to Trump in "if he wants to make America great" or "if he wants to keep America strong"? Can we stop playing the game of pretending? It was really tiring 6 months in, now whoever still does it either has no self-respect or is legitimately mentally challenged. If Trump would want to make America great or…

So you just attacked me for American civil war, but now you are advocating for one? Germany unification, was largely due to the US and the bush administration pushing for it and doing it. Without the US it’s doubtful of unification. Against British objections, they wanted to keep red army troops in Germany. It doesn’t seem like you have a deep…

All it takes for Trump to dump on another one of our best allies is flattering and pandering to the ego-centric orange blob of skin. https://www. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/a ug/17/trump-south-korea-alliance

It cannot be quiet, a Taiwan invasion would be instantly (I mean the moment the message comes out) known through intelligence assets, and the sheer scale of buildup even for a smaller blockade would be visible on satellites. If it is going to happen, the rest of the world would know at least several months in advance.

La política de Estados Unidos en los últimos 100 años se limitó casi por completo a contener a China. Y lo logró, como ustedes pueden ver en el mapa. Trump rompe la contención porque es tan imbécil que elige dictadores. Elige dictadores porque generan compensación emocional por su deformación psicológica y porque está tan Gaga que solo los…

Ahh finally you understand might is indeed right. All that rubbish about morality and helping the people is all BS. Glad you finally admitted it. Now the US might is waning will you accept the consequences that come with that. Other countries like Iran will start enforcing their might against yours.

America has chosen Russia over Europe. North Korea over Asia. Israel over gulf states. You treat friends as enemies while obviously working to undermine democracies including your own. The world is waking up. The greatest threat to the world on virtually every front, is the U.S..
