  • South Korean President Declares Martial Law

    Wow!

    South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law on Tuesday and accused the opposition party of taking the parliamentary process hostage with "anti-state" activities.

      Same. I'm confused on who is the good guy. Just like Europeans were confused into thinking Trump was Satan due to leftist media propaganda.

          All I have to go on is that the one South Korean person I follow on Twitter, that I know of, doesn't seem to be a fan of the president.

            Yeah, I too don't really know who are the good guys, if any of them are, and who are the bad guys, which all of them may be. In any case, a declaration of martial law indicates there is a problem.

              Martial Law Has Ended in South Korea

              South Korea’s legislative body voted to lift the martial law order, condemning the decision. The leader of President Yoon’s party also criticized the declaration. There was mayhem outside the National Assembly building, where some soldiers deployed were seen leaving, sparking some to suggest that this drama was over. And now it is–the emergency order only lasted five hours.

              On the domestic front, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions called for an indefinite strike until President Yoon resigned. The chief spokesman of the opposition Democratic Party of Korea, Jo Seoung-lae, also confirmed that military forces sent to the National Assembly tried to arrest the governing body's leaders earlier this morning.​

              President Yoon will likely face calls to step down.

                Is Yoon trying to execute a coup or prevent one?

                  The People Power Party (PPP), which Yoon is a member of, most closely aligns with U.S. conservative values:

                  "The PPP advocates for free-market policies, deregulation, and a reduction in government intervention in the economy, aligning with principles of smaller government."

                  The PPP's adversary is the Democratic Party of Korea which is left of center and aligns with North Korea. So a nice heavy dose of socialism. More extreme than the Democrats.

                  Yoon is probably trying to prevent a coup and it looks like it failed.

                    Why would anyone with a brain, living in South Korea be a fan and desire life to be like North Korea?

                    Even people who want Socialism and Communism here would say they don't want it to be like North Korea.

                      Right. WTH? Only explanation is that they hijacked the universities and schools and brainwashed a generation of kids just like here.
