Such drills are held every year in various parts of Russia and are not intended to demonstrate force or to provoke Ukraine, the Defense Ministry said, though officials added that this is the first time such war games have been conducted in Crimea since the time of the former Soviet Union.

By comparison: A $2202 million parade would cost just a little less than the U.S.-South Korea large scale military exercise that Trump canceled during his meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Ceasing the U.S.-South Korea war games is a significant concession, and to receive in return only a "complete" denuclearization—rather than the complete, verifiable, and irreversible kind to which the Trump administration has been referring in the entire lead-up to these talks—is not quite enough, at least in the immediate term.

And Australia and the U.S. have been conducting some naval war games recently and [Prime Minister] Turnbull has been telling news media, as I remember, that if there is a war on the Korean Peninsula, Australia will have to come to the United States' aid — and that makes Australia the enemy of North Korea.

Getting North Korea to agree to move at least some of its big guns away from the border will likely be a key topic of negotiations in the months ahead, particularly now that the U.S. and South Korea have agreed to halt their next set of annual war games, which never fail to outrage the North and heighten tensions on the peninsula.

Within North Korea, the "very special bond" that Trump claimed to have formed with Kim will be portrayed this way: Kim forced the American president, through his nuclear and missile tests, to accept North Korea as a nuclear equal, to provide security guarantees to North Korea, and to cancel war games with South Korea that the North has protested for decades.

Few details about the thinking behind the upcoming war games have been made public, but it's not hard to imagine what at least part of the scenario might be like: A US-Russian clash of some sort leading to Russian attacks aimed at seizing that radar station at Vardø and Norway's defense headquarters at Bodø on the country's northwestern coast.
