South Korea declares Martial Law

South Korean president declares emergency martial law, accusing opposition of anti-state activities

It wasn’t immediately clear how the steps would affect the country’s governance and democracy.

Other than elections that the President didn’t like, what supposed emergency was there?

Is this the death of democracy in SK?

Or just a blip. People are protesting is my understanding.

Is this a blueprint for Trump? He pulls this shit after the 26 mid terms?

Things seem to be going poorly. Parliament voted to undo it. The military appears to be licking their lips (?). I'm not the most literate person when it comes to Asian politics, but while I am aware of the Japanese elections hurting the incumbent and Myanmar oddly enough seeing the Rohingya teaming up with the Myanmar military... I had no idea something like this was brewing in South Korea.

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

This is discomforting.

“We weren’t notified in advance,” the {Biden} official said, “and we are seriously concerned by what we’re seeing unfold.”

This is just an experiment for the benefit of soon to be President Trump.

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

The president said he would impose martial law to stop “shameless pro-North anti-state forces that plunder the freedom and happiness of our people.”

A military decree signed Tuesday suspended all political activities, as well as “fake news, manipulation of public opinion and false propaganda.” It said it would place news media “under martial law control” and ordered striking medical workers to return to work within 48 hours.

The decree was signed by army Gen. Park An-su, who was designated by Yoon as “martial law commander.”

Place news media "under martial law control". Orders like that usually don't end well.

Depending on how this ends … if this guy ends up in control he will further inspire the Trumps and Orbans of the world to seize ever more power. This was predictable, given Trump’s “mandate” (bare win).

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

And South Korean leader pulls back and says he'll lift Martial Law.

Yoon spoke about 4:25 a.m. local time, less than six hours after ordering the martial law, and said he would formally lift the decree following a cabinet meeting that is expected to take place within hours.

He said he would accept the National Assembly’s vote, and added that he was unable to convene his cabinet because it is too early in the morning. The martial law will be lifted as soon as the cabinet gathers, he said.

Why does he need to meet with his Cabinet... other than to either free them of their life or to resign?

This dude is so unpopular he looks at Biden's approval ratings with envy. So is this the end of the line for him?

“the president of South Korea can be impeached. The impeachment process begins in the National Assembly, where more than two-thirds of its 300 members must vote in favor of the motion. If passed, the impeachment is reviewed by the Constitutional Court, which must have at least six out of nine justices vote to uphold the motion for the president to be removed from office”

Sounds unlikely. But there’s over 2 years left in the term so who knows.

Consensus of independent observers is that Parliament which was in opposition to rabidly pro-american president were against sending weapons to regime in Kiev. So americans an their puppet came up with the idea.

ZiprHead,
Nobody prevents you from giving your explanation for this incredibly idiotic move by the president.

Nobody prevents you from posting idiotic conspiracy theories. As a matter of fact, that one was a beauty. Encompassing all the Russian created the west is the boogy man into one nice neat package. I'm surprised you didn't put a bow on it.

Zelensky stole the bow from barbos after Victoria Nuland ordered him to.

As long as we ignore the North Korean portion of the Ukraine Folly, I suppose your "independent observers" idea could hold a little bit of water.

He is an idiot that was convinced by a military hard liner to do something stupid. The guy has approval ratings that make Biden's look like Taylor Swift's. The President has little political experience and kind of stumbled into the position. And his performance has been as would be expected for a person out of his league.

Not knowing the exact reasons for the president's actions doesn't mean I have to accept your bullshit claims.

?? What poll are you using? Gallop just released a poll on 11.21.24 that found that president Z’s approval had dropped from 84 % in august to 60 % today. That’s an alarming drop. But way better than your numbers. What is Utin’s approval rating today?
