South Korean president Yoon has just declared Martial Law. Not because there’s riots or any sort of internal violent threat but because their Democrat Party has gained too much power in government and he wants to stifle them. His reason is that they voted to slash $2.8 billion from the government’s operating budget, all of which is aimed at destroying his ability to run the country and destroy his party. The BBC has more detail on this, here.
Democrats are democrats pretty much everywhere. Hitler was a democrat, for instance, as were the KKK and the leaders of the American Civil War. Not all modern nations have formed Uniparties like the US has, and South Korea is one of them.
What this probably means for the future of that country is another period of military dictatorship, none of which have ended well in the past. The opposing party is already backing demonstrations, and military forces are blocking and guarding government buildings to prevent them from attacking and entering.
This may not be a big deal here in the USA, but it can turn into one over there, as the North Koreans will be certain to jump on any weakness of their neighbor, and if they attack the South, then the US has to get involved as S. Korea’s ally, so then China could get involved…. So it bears watching.
South Korean House of Representatives has blocked the Martial Law.
Yep, the Globalists win again. I wondered if he was going to be able to hold out against an opposing majority in Congress and now I wonder what they threatened him with if he didn’t back down. But that doesn’t matter, what does is that a major disruption in world trade has been avoided.
