Pentagon Cancels Major Aerial Wargames With South Korea

1. In other words, nobody wants to play with you. Take a hint asshule.

2. Probably the only people on earth who do not want peace on the Korean peninsula are the DC neocons, and fellow travelers. Neocons want NK as a base to threaten China. How long can the US afford to surround every trouble point on the globe, especially since is the armchair warmongers who create the trouble points!

   1. Correct, and now the Bolton Beast has persuaded Trump to end yet another international agreement and blame Russia once more.
      Has the USA never noticed that all its wars are “away games” and nobody has ever actually invaded the USA and caused it to defend its Homeland as those in Europe and especially Russia know only too well.

      1. Bush 43-
         “Our strategy is this: We will fight them over there so we do not have to face them in the United States of America.”

         He forget about 9-11.

         Regarding the Homeland, I’ve been arguing on some military sites I visit, where they are concerned about a shortage of money, that the US doesn’t need a standing army. (without success)

         quoting myself:

         The US doesn’t need a standing army, especially one of gigantic half-million person size. But it does have such a useless, expensive force, which is being increased in size irregardless of the fact that there is no threat of a ground invasion from any country. Canada and Mexico are quite benign in that regard. The Founding Fathers recognized this simple fact in the Constitution which includes: “To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years” in contrast to: “To provide and maintain a Navy.” It made sense then and it makes sense now.

         Since this huge useless ground force exists, and the US national security has rather arbitrarily designated its necessary enemies, there is a strong tendency to use the army. Campaigns must be devised against weak countries, medals must be earned, profits are welcome, weapons must be tested, and the world must see that the US means action so they’d better stay in line. Unfortunately these are expensive, losing efforts that only increase animosity toward the US.

         Meanwhile the Army has no realistic mission. The designated US “worst enemy” is China, and there is no way to envision a large ground force fighting China on the Asian mainland. Russia? That enemy is contrived. So being maligned these two great countries have allied, together with Iran, strengthened by US Middle East wars, being the three strong polar stalwarts of the Eurasia colossus. Modernizing and enlarging the US Army is a waste of time and money.

3. Big Brother is tightening the screws on US Korea puppet banks.
   …from YonhapNews–

   U.S. calls on S. Korean banks to comply with sanctions on N. Korea — The U.S. Treasury Department has called on South Korean banks to comply with sanctions on North Korea, financial sources said Friday, in a thinly veiled warning against doing business with Pyongyang. They said the Treasury Department e-mailed several commercial and policy banks and had conference calls on Sept. 20 and 21, just after the inter-Korean summit in Pyongyang. The state-run Korea Development Bank and the Industrial Bank of Korea received the call from the Treasury Department, along with Kookmin Bank, Shinhan Bank and Nonghyup Bank.
   During the telephone meetings, U.S. officials asked South Korean banks not to violate the Washington-led sanctions against North Korea, after hearing about their business schemes for the North.
   Officials of the South Korean banks said they are aware of the sanctions and are in compliance with them. . .here

   The US holding firm on sanctions despite DPRK actions [North Korea has suspended nuclear and missile tests, shut down and destroyed its Punggye-ri nuclear test site] defies the UN sanctions language.

   UNSC Res 2371
   The Security Council,
   29. Affirms that it shall keep the DPRK’s actions under continuous review and is prepared to strengthen, modify, suspend or lift the measures as may be needed in light of the DPRK’s compliance, and, in this regard, expresses its determination to take further significant measures in the event of a further DPRK nuclear test or launch; (OP49 of UNSCR 2321)
   30. Decides to remain seized of the matter. (OP50 of UNSCR 2321)

   remain seized of the matter:
   Used in the resolutions of an assembly, most commonly in the Security Council of the United Nations. In this context, it means that, while the Security Council is seized of a matter, no other organ of the United Nations may legally take it up, as under Article 12 of the UN Charter.

4. Hmm… The schoolyard bully can’t get the other kids to play with him. Wonder why? P.S. Sorry, Dave, I used your metaphor before I read your post.
