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.'

    Hitler damn near defeated Stalin. We shipped all sorts of shit over there to ensure history went down a different path. We provided trucks, aircraft...

    We didn't need to do that. We didn't need to hand over part of Germany and part of Korea. Of course, the USSR didn't need to be so damn evil.

    North Korea is essentially a creation of the USSR, assisted by us being dumb enough to hand it over.
