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.

He deserves it for being such a cuck. Why didn't he order them to open fire? Why? Am I the only person whgo knowws how to restablish a dictatorial state? What an idiiot!

I’m pretty sure he would have ended up being dragged from his house and torn apart alive if he’d done that, he doesn’t have the support at all. He’s not going to unanimously get the support of the military when he’s violating the constitution, it doesn’t matter if you think that’s cringe.

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?

Because cucking out now means that you will merely be jailed for decades or executed. If you don't, the long arm of US foreign policy will rape you, your children and ancestors, and everyone within two degrees of separation to you. It's best to just give up and say you had a severe pill-induced lapse in judgement.

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

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.

Maybe the real takeaway here is that we should force celebrities into servitude for our amusement.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Do you want a comprehensive list or just the highlights?

Good thing Trump isn't like this if he ever decides to declare martial law.

Nah nah nah. Ik maybee.

Comprehensive list. This is the farms after all.

 

[Spirelord: Downfall]

Some of those 110 parliament members have to be shitting themselves right now because there's no way that won't be seen as them being complicit and whoever replaces Yoon will be eager to make some examples, doubly so if the party views opposing the coup as some sort of mandate.

What was even the point? You just dug yourself a bigger hole. And probably helped the other party get more votes in next election for not being so blatantly dumb.

I couldn't hold my laughter when one of the Korean tv journalist said, "president has decided to cancel the martial law that he himself has declared 6 hours ago.".

Comedy in pure form.

The guy is obviously a retard who just threw the equivalent of an autistic 'tard fit on the national stage before pissing himself when the adults told him to knock it the fuck off.

Again, if politicians can qualify as Lolcows, this guy should be in the late running for LOTW.

Probably hoped for a 2nd Gwangju Massacre with the US feeling forced to support him to keep their precious military ally. He forgot it's not the 80s though and the US won't let you do a coup without explicit permission.

If life has you down, it could be worse. You could always be Yoon Suk Yeol.

Ok:
Alcohollism

Stop Drinking

Religios fundammentalism

If Islam, convert to Christianity, if Christianity actually practice what God has called you to do.

Bad withh women

Go learn how to build fancy chairs. Women like fancy chairs.

AJJ

Wut?

Uhhh depression

Go do literally anything in the sun. It might not fix it, but it can't hurt.

Fat

Eat only steak, eggs, spinach, and water. It'll also help with the depression.

Uhh that's it

You damn well know it's not.

 

[Hillary Clinton's Ass]

Enjoy prison, coup child.


Were the protests and action limited only to Seoul? Was there any movement in the rest of the country?

SOUTH KOREAN PARLIMENT OFFICALY IN SESSION

UPDATE: The South Korean Army issues a statement saying that Martial Law will remain in place until the President says otherwise.

Looks like martial law is still on the menu, boys.

Well, that's surprising. The military is literally not following the law at this point. This could get really spicy quickly.
