This is pretty extraordinary, and will definitely make China happy: THAAD deployment in South Korea led to a major diplomatic crisis in 2017. Also goes to show how incredibly limited U.S. capabilities have become: just 3 days (!) into a war with the mid-level power that is Iran they're so strained that they need to remove missile systems from South Korea.

The U.S. is planning to move THAAD systems meant to protect against China to the Middle East, according to South Korean media. I am not getting the warm and fuzzy "everything is going according to plan" feeling. chosun.com/english/nation
