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

Article | Archive

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared an “emergency martial law,” Tuesday accusing the country’s opposition of controlling the parliament, sympathizing with North Korea and paralyzing the government with anti-state activities.

Yoon made the announcement during a televised briefing. He declared the step as critical for defending the country’s constitutional order. It wasn’t immediately clear how the steps would affect the country’s governance and democracy.

Yoon since taking office in 2022 had struggled to push his agendas against an opposition-controlled parliament.

Polls are fake as fuck.

Edit: He'll probably fail though, this coup looks ill conceived.

Well, considering motherfucker lost parliamentary majority and basically a lameduck president, it doesn't look like the poll is fake.

Sadly we are long past the days were we could get awesome sequels like Aliens or Terminator 2.

Is Korean media breathlessly reporting what Korean K-Pop singers think about these developments like the US media would with our actors and celebrities?

From my knowledge of kpop stars and celebs- most of them are in slave-like contracts, they can't publically voice any opinion on pretty much anything and most if not everything has to be run through their managers/record companies, it's pretty depressing for them but also nice not to hear rich cunts tell me how to think or feel.

20% presidential approval rating according to the recent poll.

This dude is gonna die.

If they do kill him, I hope they put him in a deathmatch against johnny somali.
OBJECTIVELY the best way to do it.

Can someone explain to me who the "civilians" that are pushing back the police are on the side of? Are they Anti-President?

Why is it the police and not the military?

President unilaterally called for martial law meaning all people can be arrested without cause and imprisoned without trials, despite what some will tell you WE HAVE NO IDEA WHY HE DID THIS buddy could have been off the gas station dick pills for all we know

military is caught in a rock and a hard place, follow president orders, treason, dont follow them, treason, So they were sitting around wating to see how the people would respond, so the president tried to use the police to put down the protests to theis act but it dident work mostly cause of how limp wristed the whole thing was

Giant clusterfuck tbh

Half-assing a coup attempt has to be one of the worst possible decision you can ever make.
You're going to either go to jail for decades or get executed if you fail, why would you decide to cuck out when the risk is so high?
It's only a matter of time until he gets Prigozhin'd

Wait those are real? I thought that's just a joke about Americanss. Wait do we have them overhere? Shit if i wuznt so drunk I'dddd I'd drive over to see if we have emm.

You know I knew the south Koreans hated Johnny Somali a lot just not enough to do this.

It's one thing to announce an martial law and order the military to proceed with it to try to coup, it's a whole new level of retardation to lift it while the opposition is calling you to be imprisoned (and potentially executed).

shooting your own unarmed countrymen is not as easy as it sounds, we are talking about human beings here at the end of the day. Despite what the edgelords have to say the best case scenario played out with the least violence.

It's important to have the people maintaining your nation's infrastructure on your side, not much the protestors could do if the blue collar workers (Electricians, plumbers, farmers and water technicians) would cut off the bare essentials that these people need.

Soldiers returning to their bases.

Man. Democracy has made it fucking impossible to just conquer people. Wholly unnatural. Bring back the divine right of kings proved through conquest.
