So, what is really going on in South Korea ?

As far as I can tell the parliament was voting to not have to follow the Presidents orders which I would think was treason in itself, So the President ordered the military to stop them they had a scuffle, and the President then declared Martial law Now an arrest warrant has been issued by the very ones that committed treason in the 1st place they just tried to arrest him but a military unit that was protecting him stopped it ..

Is this NK trying to take over and just what does the US have to say about this we have a bunch of military there.

It's interesting, isn't it?

I'm not positive, but it seems like this dude fell down and bumped his head when he declared "Martial Law".

I hadn't been aware of his politics too much before that, but that was a pretty crazy response to, well...anything. Especially in SK. I'm pretty sure he would have been better off to clear his ambitions with the US forces there (minimally), so they could either decide to support the action or call for his ouster. After all, South Korea wouldn't even be a thing if not for US forces there. So, this dude might want to check-in before he goes all "koo-koo".

That's all I have to say about the matter.

Sounds like the President there has got some issues and they are trying to take away his power. I don't know too much about what really happened over there, and I doubt if Americans will ever know the real story. I should ask the daughter to contact her friend there and ask him what is really going on over there, but I think the South Koreans are somewhat strict on social media that exits their country from what she said a few years back. Her friend is a nice guy, don't want to get him in any trouble for telling what really happened....

My other daughter is friends with a guy in Taiwan, there is also some problems associated with censorship of social media there if it contradicts anything government.

Neither of those countries governments want to lose face in the world, I can understand why they have those social rules.

So, I am probably not going to ask my daughter to ask now that I think about it, I would hate to see him lose his position there for answering a controversial question honestly.

If the South Korean Constitution provides for the power of their Parliament to impeach the President, then by definition the Parliament's use of that power is not treason.

This has nothing to do with North Korea.

The impeachment is not what I'm talking about , It began with parliament voting to not follow his orders .

Standoff situation right now..

SEOUL, Jan 3 (Reuters) - Authorities entered impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's compound on Friday to execute an unprecedented arrest warrant, evading a crowd of protesters outside, but were confronted with presidential security forces inside.

It was unclear whether the Presidential Security Service (PSS), which has previously blocked access by investigators with a search warrant to Yoon's office and official residence, would try to stop him being arrested.

Whole point of checks and balances are so one branch doesn’t have too much power.

Seems more South Koreans showed up in protest against the martial law than they did parliament voting to end it.

Personally, I wouldn’t want my president to just be able to do whatever he wants. There should be agreement from the other branches, and if all else fails you demonstrate.

I think he declared martial law on orders of the U.S. administration. If successful it would probably have been combined with a false flag supposedly committed by NK. Probably an attempt to start a new Korean war to draw in Russia via their new defense agreement with NK and thus open a second front against Russia.

Russia just recently ratified it's new defense cooperation agreement with NK under which it must provide military assistance without delay should NK come under attack.


Edit: And all of this in time to make it more difficult or impossible for Trump to achieve peace in Ukraine

I’ve never understood the Middle East and Asian notions of saving face.

Just means being a lier in the west.

I never talked about that with her, only about social media.
