Because when an unpopular President declares that anyone who disagrees with him is a commie, what else can he do (beside paint his face orange)?

Doctors are striking because there is an attempt to expand the number of medical students???



Declaring Martial Law is beyond the pale, but something else is going on in South Korea that doesn’t bode well for freedom and democracy.



I suspect the relocation of some Chip manufacturing to the U.S. is also adding to South Korea’s internal strife.

Asia in general is a powder keg for various / numerous reasons.

The situation definitely bears watching…

 

[Bray123]

Strangely, this constitutional crisis has been prompted by the President's wife accepting a Dior handbag and some stock manipulation.

Pah. That wouldn't get him a MAGAt nomination to the US Congress, never mind a seat in the rapist's cabinet.

Yoon is a loon.

Right-wing nuts have wet dreams about declaring martial law. Yoon can now retire a happy man.

Coup attempt lasted a bit more than six hours, as the Korean parliament voted 190-0 to override martial law edict. (Edited: thanks Laz)

You might recall that 139 Republicans in America voted AGAINST certifying President Joe Biden's victory in 2021.

Korea puts country before party.
America puts party before countr

It is eerily familiar. Exactly what Trump wanted to do in 2020. And probably what all the Trumptards here wish he had done.

I believe they voted to override the Martial Law declaration, not certify an election.



Still, a solid move for the preservation of democracy and a rejection of authoritarianism.

Country over party definitely took precedence.

Wow! This has all happened so quickly I have had no time to become an expert. What the heck?????

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said on Wednesday he would lift a martial law declaration he had imposed just hours before, backing down in a stunning standoff with parliament which rejected his attempt to ban political activity and censor the media. Yoon declared martial law on Tuesday night to thwart 'anti-state forces' among his opponents, but outraged lawmakers rejected the decree, in South Korea's biggest political crisis in decades.

This is the sort of move I would have expected Biden and the Democrats to try on, not South Korea.

It's Korea . . . they're just off-brand Chinese.

Very true.

Trumptards are short bus special.

It was Trump who wanted to invoke the Insurrection Act on J6, thus enabling him to declare Martial Law, not President Biden.

Awwww someone lost the democracy game.

Maybe shame those god damn men and fuckin' whites a little more over the next 4 and you'll for sure win next time.

LOL. You do twist things don't you. It'd be amusing if only there weren't misguided fools who believe this kid of conspiracy rubbish.

On the other hand, you will note SK police and military were disciplined, did not from the looks of it carry live ammo, and no-one was gratuitously murdered in cold blood.

You just gaslighted you crazy Asian bitch.

Trump was most definitely considering declaring martial law after he lost the election. The people in the room confirmed it.

Unfortunately that's exactly what happened.

Like Comey endlessly saying 'Biden crime family', eventually people start thinking that the Bidens are a bunch of criminals instead of the Trumps. It's a well-worn path of propaganda, it doesn't matter what the lie is; just repeat loudly.

LOL. The Biden's ARE a family of criminals. Just wait for the rest of the pardons....Joe isn't done yet.

Yeah yeah yeah, sure he did. Another left wing fantasy, like the Steele Dossier.....

What I find truly fascinating is the alternate reality many on the left live in. Like denying the Biden's are criminals or believing Trump is Hitler. Really weird.

 

[Politruk]

Why did Yoon try this in the first place? What crisis was there, that seemed to require martial law?

Here's doubting that he even got warmed up. Hunter is just the first pitch.

I expect you to only be able to defend yourself with an LOL but wouldn’t have been nice for one of your admirers to step in like a white knight as I’ve bitch slapped you around these past few days?

Good christ slope girl. Nobody even denies this happened. Many people witnessed it.

His panties were in a twist because the opposition party won’t let him do whatever he wants.
