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.'

    You should stop bringing up someone who didn't get the cut. It makes you sound like a broken record. We are talking about the current situation, not what you think would have happened if someone else was president. We are talking about what IS happening. Try to keep up.

    I think it is perfectly reasonable to compare the actions of a former secretary of state vs current. Tillerson did not have a government overthrown and under his watch the US stopped funding rebels in Syria that were/are killing civilians. Pompeo has spent his whole time as Sec of State trying to wage peace with NKorea.

    Compare that to Hillary that ruined Libya, made shitty decisions about Benghazi and then lied about it, and doubled down on our illegal actions in Syria.

    Before her was Kerry who i dont recall having done anything particularily bad. He got us the Iran deal for better or worse.
