Korea will be fine, I don't think this is even a big deal in their culture. It's much different than the US, we'd be looking for someone to shoot by now.

This all seems pretty nutty. Anything from the state dept or other officials about this?
And why the hell is Biden stumbling around Angola? Looking for a home since there is no extradition treaty?

Did Dr Jill want one last free vacation on the taxpayers dime? Is Hunter with him or locked in a hotel partying his balls off?

"Even though I've been involved with the African American caucus for years I've never made it to Angola."
Old racist doesn't even realize these are African Africans.

He's just enjoying the last few moments of his office. Also probably trying to avoid the press after pardoning his retarded son.
No, it's quite obvious that North Korea is a shit hole. The point is that the neither system is superior if implemented without some level of balance between the two. If unchecked, both road leads to totalitarianism.
The zealotry of the tribes behind each system is retarded.
Neither side of the argument believes they're doing the wrong thing, which is exactly why proximity is irrelevant.
The term 'useful idiots' exists for a reason, and there is a never ending supply of them on both sides.
From that article:Parliament voted 190-0 to lift the Martial Law, this is gonna get interesting
South Korean parliament votes to defy president by lifting his declaration of martial law
The South Korean parliament has voted to defy the country’s president and immediately lift his martial law declaration.
"Under South Korea’s constitution, the president can declare martial law during “wartime, war-like situations or other comparable national emergency states” that require the use of military force to maintain peace and order. It was questionable whether South Korea is currently in such a state."
Sounds like the president threw a hissy fit over not getting his way, there's nothing close to a war going on right now. Even his own party unanimously voted against martial law.
I have a feeling he won't be president for long.
There was never a peace declared or treaty signed. They actually are still at war with each other.
Technically you're correct of course, but that shouldn't be carte blanche to declare martial law unless there's the imminent threat of open conflict.
From the outside looking in, it seems like something of a desperate power move, and one that will likely result in his impeachment.
Oh, I agree. Just keeping us in the realm of known facts since there are so few available. We still need to know the story... No idea if Yoon went rogue or if he honestly believes his govt is being undermined/attacked from within. Or both, if he's nuts.
I know nothing about him other than media calling him "South Koreas Trump"
Make South Korea Best Korea!
Feels like a global boiling point is being reached.
