The Pentagon confirmed Monday that major U.S. military exercises this summer in South Korea would be suspended, following President Trump's decision.

'We will be stopping the war games, which will save us a tremendous amount of money, unless and until we see the future negotiation is not going along like it should,' Trump told reporters after his meeting last Tuesday with Kim in Singapore. 'But we'll be saving a tremendous amount of money. Plus, I think it's very provocative.'

    The last invasions initiated by a western nation other than US were the Hitler's ones.

    Doesn't that kind of depend on one's feelings about Crimea?

    No, because Russia is not a western nation.

    The part of Russia people actually live in is in Europe....Personally I think of them as much more European than Asian, since they had (have?) a large Eastern Orthodox population and were generally involved in European political maneuvering until WWI.

    Generally speaking, the current consensus would locate the West, at the very least, in the cultures and peoples of Europe (at least the European Union member states, EFTA countries, European microstates),[42][43] the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Latin America. There is debate among some as to whether Latin America is in a category of its own.[44] Whether Russia should be categorized as "East" or "West" has been "an ongoing discussion" for centuries.[45]
