U.S. Defense Secretary Agrees to Expand Joint Exercises with South Korea

It will be interesting to see if the Kim regime uses this visit and the joint announcement as a reason to launch an ICBM in the coming days:

South Korean Defense Minister Lee Jong-sup (R) and his U.S. counterpart, Lloyd Austin, hold a joint press conference after their talks at the defense ministry in Seoul on Jan. 31, 2023. 

The defense chiefs of South Korea and the United States have agreed to further expand the countries’ joint military exercises amid intensifying North Korean provocations, they said in a joint statement released Tuesday.

South Korean Defense Minister Lee Jong-sup and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin also agreed to continue taking strong steps against North Korean provocations.

“The two leaders also pledged to further expand and bolster the level and scale of this year’s combined exercises and training,” said the joint statement released by the U.S. Department of Defense.

Good luck with that, most training ranges closed to US forces. Heck, helicopter crews have to leave Korea to qualify.
