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.

Isn't she the one that was running SK while also being part of some kind of Korean version of a shamanistic voodoo cult?

Begging for Jan 6 2: Electric Boogaloo, but this time good because it'll be Dems doing it...I guess?

The average twittard mind can't comprehend the concept of a competent coup would shut down communications and roflstomp twittards into dust before 24 hours elapsed

He tried it in 2020/21, but institutions stopped him.

Let's hope he can get rid of them this time.

You're only saying that because you haven't lived it.

I know this is how many Kiwis think. You should ideally move to an autocratic country then and see how much you like it instead of enjoying the comforts of a Western democracy and moaning like a tard. Anywayzzz

Orban, Pinochet????
All are preferable.

It would be the Gwangju Massacre 2.0, but I don't know if that's going to happen in either of the 2 Gwangjus, let alone if a massacre of civilians will actually occur.

The Viet Minh was always captured by communist shitheels, and purged the org of any non communists as soon as they got a wiff of power.
The argument that Diem was a corrupt dictator is just one of those lefty talking points that never die.

How retarded are you? Dude was the Zelensky of his day, absolutely incompetent in the extreme and a loser. The only difference is we had to officially send in Americans to prop up his failed state. Defending his retardation culturally destroyed the entire right-wing and convinced tens of millions of Americans that communism wasn't so bad compared to the anti-communists. We're still living the consequences of the retardation of supporting the failed South Vietnamese dictatorship since the New Left took over the Democrats and their products like Pelosi still are running this country into the ground.

More like because some generals got a phonecall from the CEO of Samsung. It's amazing people actually believe this nonsense. I can't wait until there actually is a real dictatorship and they experience consequences worse than hyperventilating over a wrongthinker getting elected.

That reads like some African shithole.

thats because it is, korea had slavery but no written language before japan invaded. the women ran around naked and without names and the men just sat around eating fried chicken all day.

Here's a take on the fuller picture by a Korean Redditor

this just makes me picture Danny Mcbride and Walter Goggins as political rivals for some reason.

Well, this went rather quickly. I'll go focus on Georgia now and watch men creating firework machine guns.

You mean another is us backed "revolution" against a democratic country?

After researching more about Yoon Suk Yeol,

You didnt and don't have a clue.

You sound like a typical nafo retard.

The lefties on bluesky are fearmongering about this, claiming that Trump is going to do the same here in the U.S. despite all of the laws against it.

South Vietnamese losses doubled after his death and the US had to increase their presence tenfold.
There's no metric available to you to claim he was incompetent compared to his predecessors or successors. And then there's the staggering losses the North suffered because of their ineptitude.
He got killed in 1963, and you can just about spot exactly when shit hit the fan.

Trying to democratize South Viet Nam was the same horseshit the US pulled in Iraq and Afghanistan, it does not, and will not work.
Once Nixon got into power they actually managed to get things under control and the US managed to decrease their presence about 95% and the South Vietnamese still managed to crush the North in the Easter Offensive of 1972 and forced the North to sign the armistice.
It took two years for the North to lick their wounds, where by that time Nixon had been ousted and Congress decided to embargo military aid for South Viet Nam to pander to wackos.

There are "good" commies

The only good commie is a dead commie

 

[von Hapasbourg]

another nothing burger because the retard president actually agreed to suspend it. If this faggot only waited a few more months before Trump went to office, he'd probably get away enacting total libtard death scot free. Literal political suicide at the cost of giving CCP-backed south korean libtards more political leverage lol

North Korea can't just invade now most of them are in Ukraine

Eh, you have to remember that the Philippines were occupied by Japan for a relatively brief period of time during WW2, in contrast Korea was annexed by Japan in 1910 and before that it had been a vassal state for a while, the Imperial Japanese commited all manner of atrocities during their time in Korea that left many scars on the people and land.

Interestingly, in the 1890s when Japan was taking some Korean land after taking over Taiwan some Philippine Revolutionaries wanted Japan to help them in their fight against Spain.

Seems like an opportune time for the South (Korea) to rise again!

 

[behindyourightnow]

The video of the woman grabbing for the guy's rifle while the he stands there and refuses to shoot is a good example of why dictators who want to take over or maintain control of a country often employ foreign troops to put down uprisings (or at least, they use troops who aren't from the dominant ethnicity). Like Tsar Nicholas II using the Cossacks. The Korean guy just couldn't bring himself to shoot someone who looked like his mom.

It goes back further than that. In Kyoto there is mound made of the noses of Koreans and Chinese killed in a 16th century Japanese invasion of the Korean peninsula.
According to the sign on the site, the commander in Korea pickled the ears and noses of Korean soldiers and civilians, men and women, and sent them back to Japan as trophies.
Regardless of the true number, the Koreans claim the partial remains of more than 125,000 Koreans are buried there.

TL;DR it was what everyone already said. Embattled, isolated President got desperate and embarrassed himself, apparently with no input from staff.
