Seeking to give diplomatic efforts to denuclearize North Korea more of a chance, the U.S. and South Korea have decided to stop holding the large-scale annual spring exercises that have irritated North Korea in the past fifty years.
Instead, replacing them with smaller-scale exercises intended to maintain the readiness of U.S. and South Korean troops on the Korean Peninsula.
The move was announced following a phone call between acting Defense Secretary and South Korean Defense Minister.
The joint exercises was and is a threat to the North as they perceive it. When the military might is hovering around, moving towards the borders of another country, is not a comforting thoughts for the people.
