U.S. Denies It is Holding Discussions with South Korea on Joint Nuclear Weapons Exercises

Not a good look for President Yoon that he is getting out in front of the U.S. on the discussion of conducting Joint nuclear exercises:

The White House statement came hours after Biden, responding to a reporter’s question as he exited Marine One, said he was not discussing joint nuclear exercises with South Korea.

The president’s short denial at the White House follows Yoon’s interview with the Seoul-based Chosun Ilbo newspaper on Sunday, in which Yoon said South Korea was holding “considerably positive” discussions with the U.S. about “joint exercise concepts” related to nuclear weapons.

“Nuclear weapons are the U.S.’s, but South Korea and the U.S. should work together in planning, information sharing, exercises and training,” Yoon said.

Biden’s response prompted a spokeswoman for Yoon, Kim Eun Hye, to clarify Tuesday that the U.S. and South Korea are discussing ways to deter North Korea from using nuclear weapons, including sharing information and joint planning with concern to U.S. nuclear assets, according to a statement from the South Korean presidential office.

The reporter’s question to Biden about talks on a joint nuclear exercise lacked important context, which led the U.S. president to respond with “no,” according to Kim’s statement.

Joetato lies, prevaricates, dissembles, and misstates important facts every day.

His handlers are certainly working with or against our allies on a daily basis

Agreed. A puppet shouldn’t get ahead of its puppet master.

One Million D Chess:

“The USA has transferred operational control of the secret nuclear weapons to South Korea. This really frees us up to… what… that’s a secret? Uh… nevermind.”

The secret weapon is probably a battalion of “Songtan Sally” lookalikes who give out Choco-pies loaded with meth.

Look at what happened to Jackson, Mississippi and Saint Louis, Missouri.

Setnaffa, if you’re American, you have to know how damaging this controversy is to United States’ international reputation.

Are you okay with that? Is finding out that a person you never voted into office is a sinner just like every other person who ever lived and ever will live a cause to slime your country?

Because, you know how this works. Now all people will think all Americans are liars and back stabbing traitors.

Good job, Setnaffa. Well-played.

For Beijing and Moscow, that is.

How cute…

Korean Person is worried about America’s international reputation over some obscure politcal action with an Asian country most Americans can’t find on a map…

…while America openly supports literal Nazis and promotes endless war in a European country (most Americans can’t find on a map).

America has more than 10 carrier groups and a track record of bombing wedding parties and funding terrorism.

America clearly doesn’t care about their reputation.

Chinabot has forgotten we started out attacking invading foreign troops on Christmas.

And we have a senile meatpuppet whose handlers stole our last two elections. We have had good and bad leaders; but Never dragged them out of 5th Party Congress meetings to kill them like China, nor killed them in their sleep like USSR and Norkistan, nor jailed them for things other people did like South Korea.

CH is right. America doesn’t care about our reputation. Because we don’t respect commie opinions.
