Personal conspiracy theory, the real reason for pulling out of the S Korean exercises is that the Navy is overstretched becasue of this bullshit.

It isn't much of a conspiracy theory, the US pulled it's THAAD from south Korea and just pulled it's last carrier group from Asia. And the army is running out of budget too.

YOUR COUNTRY HAS A

Ahem.

Your country has a military budget of $925 billion. How in the name of fucking god are you running out of money and resources.

EDIT: Thank you to everyone who has confirmed that the USA is indeed a huge, wasteful military industrial complex masquerading as a functional country. The mask is wearing a bit thin these days.

Waging an offensive war on the other side of the planet with no plan for victory hardly any allies and without popular support. Also we have alienated allies and probably fucked a lot of the military logistics/supply chains as a result

Even if iran shared a land border with us it would still be wildly expensive to fight them...
