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.

Imagine if by pure chance Best korea attacked today, the president would have been considered a hero for calling martial law at the perfect time to save korean lives.

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

LeGook James is currently crying and blaming the north koreans for this attack on democracy

I'm getting fucking whiplash from this shit.

It'd be even funnier if we find out that while this circus was going on Kim Jung quietly invaded and already occupied half of S. Korea.

What a fucking faggot, he deserves a thread after this retarded stunt.
Guy pulled a Nick rekieta out of his lame duck prime ministry and probably imploded for at least a decade whatever sort of nationalist right wing in South Korea.

You know, say what you want about America. At least we dont have to deal with retarded shit like this. At least the ILLUSION is still there that the people control the American government, and thus they have to keep up the charade and cant boil the crab too quick.

In other countries there was never the pretense of democracy with their founding and thus its just a political concept that can be easily aschewed at the first sign of trouble. Not to say America hasnt done it, but just look at the 2020 election for the lengths theyre willing to go to to maintain the illusion. If there is no democracy there is no America, why do you think Democrats were calling Trump a threat to democracy and saying he would destroy America in the same sentence?

Maybe at this point most americans are too fat lazy and stupid to take action should something like this happen in America but that doesnt mean there would be a large contingent of people would would make things VERY difficult for whoevers decaring martial law.

For the uninformed, the South Korean president says he will lift martial law after his cabinet meeting (it's late so this will be a while).

News wording is unclear, he might also want consensus. TLDR he might keep martial law but we don't know.

I think it's funny that he thinks the people would believe him after the shit he did.

The problem is that much of the civilian population knows where the guns are. Because they are ex military. All it takes is one guy looking the other way and suddenly the mob is armed. This could go hot real fast

>he thinks something will happen
