Biden and Yoon Agree to Start Discussions to Expand U.S.-ROK Exercises

It looks like Key Resolve and UFG exercises could be coming back:

President Yoon Suk-yeol and U.S. President Joe Biden agreed Saturday to begin discussions on expanding joint military exercises between the two countries amid growing nuclear and missile threats from North Korea.

The two reached the agreement during their first summit in Seoul, which took place as both countries believed a nuclear test or intercontinental ballistic missile launch from the North was imminent and could even happen while Biden was touring the region.

“Both leaders agree to initiate discussions to expand the scope and scale of combined military exercises and training on and around the Korean Peninsula,” a joint statement on the summit said.

Expanding the exercises takes money, money the US doesn’t have.

Flyingsword, this is AOC, don’t worry about the US not having any money. If we need more , we’ll just print more. No problem.

Plus one needs to see South Korea stop treating Japan as more of an enemy than Norkistan before trusting them with sensitive info on Japanese ship morements.

And I don’t really like the Japanese; but they’ve been nicer than the Norks since at least 1950.
