The United States began a large military exercise with South Korea involving thousands of troops Monday while also waging an escalating war in the Middle East.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff has said about 18,000 Korean troops will take part in Freedom Shield, which runs through March 19. U.S. Forces Korea hasn’t confirmed the number of American troops participating in the training in South Korea.
The allies’ combined exercise comes amid South Korean media speculation that Washington is relocating some assets from South Korea to support fighting against Iran.

This isn’t a new thing.
I know this is the first time a lot of you guys are actually paying attention to what’s happening in the world.
But this is a common occurrence.
They do it every year at this time and NoKo gets pissed off every year at this time.
I’m one of those people who have been paying attention, and your comment is unhelpful and self-aggrandizing.
My two bestest qualities.
I wonder how hard it is to set up things like this, and how long it takes from concept to boots on the practice ground.
That was not an honest mistake. There’s no reason to use old footage of a current president at a current event when you’re there recording the event live for your live TV show.
How fucking stupid must the republicans be to actually believe this tripe. It has to be wilful ignorance at this point.
You missed. Your target is over here: https://lemmy.world/post/44020543
Wtf? I definitely posted it under the other news. I opened this page like 2 tiles after???
Must’ve been the Iranians.
North Korea is next? But they have (presumably) nuclear weapon already.
If I were writing the video game script that Hegseth is clearly plagiarizing, it’d be a move to knock NK out before they can start launching end-the-world fireworks. You can save a bunch of interceptors by taking them out while they’re still on the ground and, most importantly to one person, it’d be a message to the world that not even nuclear powers are safe. One of his apocalypse-craving pals could bait him into it by saying that the American public thinks he’s too afraid to launch the attack.
It’s almost like the US is goading China into a war
Remember when they told Zelenskjy he was gambling with world war lll? Laughable.
Basic projection they’re known to practice.
Because he was demanding NATO fight Russia
That is in no way shape of form of what he said.
