WTH happened in South Korea yesterday or the day before and why is the story dead. It's dead like the Las Vegas Shooting several years ago.
As far as I can figure out, I think there was a coup attempt by the lefty leaders of S Korean congress and then the Korean President called for martial law THEN the congress took a vote and cancelled it?
That's at least how I understand it given the choppy reports I was able to read or watch.
Having spent some time in the 2ID as a 96B in the HQ Company I know that North Korea was involved. They always are. They have tons of agitators and paid politicians through out Seoul. I just wonder who else was involved.
Seeing how the S Korean President is considered conservative could Soros have been involved and/or the CIA. Is the CIA the reason the news about the event stopped?
And because I don't believe in coincidences a second world leading country, France, was disrupted the day after when it's leader, Macrone, was suddenly ousted.
Does any of this have to do with Pete Hegseth's nomination? What about the CEO of United health care who was murdered? Or is any of this a reaction to Trump telling Speaker Johnson to shut off the money spigot to the Ukraine?
That's a lot of big deals happening at the same time and something's up.
I'm just throwing stuff on the wall and see if it sticks. Anyone want to help connect some dots?
That sounds like the president was like Trump and your student is a liberal going for the second impeachment.
Here is the most detailed description I have found

The opposition to this DC stooge rebelled against the path NATO was trying to take South Korea on. Apparently, this is the only way he could have dragged South Korea into the Uke/NATO quagmire.
South Korea has been dancing the DC jig since its inception. DC regularly changes its South Korean puppets whenever the need arises. Being too overzealous in carrying out his DC orders will put this one in jail.

Here’s a sum up... not sure how accurate it is, however.
See #23. More to point.
Chicoms and Russia were flying fighter jets in to S Korea ADIZ and N. Korea pretending it was going to attack. S. Korea has a lot of Fifth Columnists in positions of power and influence (like our Democrats, MSM, etc…).
S. Korea has a deep state and a populace entranced by celebrity and entertainment like us also.
He might be. We don’t really talk politics. My statement was that I’m praying for South Korea and I didn’t take a side.
Moon of Alabama will at least give you the Russian take on things, lol.
And let us not forget that North Korea Jas been dancing Russia’s jig since its inception.
Our son is also in the Army and is in SK as well. Praying for all of them!!
Reprieve for South Korea’s Yoon as ruling party boycotts martial law impeachment vote
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol appeared set to survive an impeachment vote on Saturday for imposing martial law after his party’s lawmakers boycotted, prolonging the fallout from an alleged self-coup attempt.
The opposition vowed to reintroduce the motion next week after failing to reach the required two-thirds majority.
The People’s Power Party (PPP) lawmakers also blocked a separate motion to launch a special investigation into alleged corruption involving first lady Kim Keon-hee, who faces a string of allegations, including tax evasion and stock-price manipulation.
The opposition bloc controls 192 seats in the 300-member parliament, while the PPP holds 108. Just eight defections from the PPP would secure the two-thirds majority needed to pass both motions.
However, only six legislators joined the opposition in voting for the bill related to Kim.
Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) parliamentary leader Park Chan-dae urged PPP lawmakers to return to the floor for the impeachment vote.
“Yoon is a dangerous individual posing a grave threat to this country’s democracy. If he remains in power, the economic, diplomatic and security crises we face will only deepen,” Park said.
Yoon addressed the nation before the vote and apologised for the “anxiety and inconvenience” he caused, but stopped short of throwing in the towel.
Instead the 63-year-old said he would “entrust the party with measures to stabilise the political situation, including my term in office”.
He also promised there would be no second attempt to enact martial law.
What’s at stake for South Korea after Yoon’s martial law gambit?
Yoon stunned the nation and the international community on Tuesday night by imposing martial law for the first time since 1980 and deploying troops and helicopters to parliament.
But lawmakers managed to vote down the decree, forcing Yoon to rescind the order in the early hours of Wednesday in a night of extraordinary drama in a nation assumed to be a stable democracy.
Analysts warn Yoon’s refusal to step down will exacerbate the political crisis and public outrage.
Professor Yoon Sung-suk from Chonnam National University described Yoon’s apology and proposal to shorten his term and relinquish some presidential powers as “insufficient.”
“Most people expect him to face immediate arrest and justice as the key figure behind a failed coup,” he said.
Professor Kang Won-taek of Seoul National University said the president had already lost control of his administration and faced mounting pressure as South Korea grapples with geopolitical and economic challenges.
“The crime of rebellion cannot be ignored indefinitely,” Kang said, referencing the ongoing investigations into the alleged coup bid.
“Questions about his mental state and his understanding of democratic principles are widespread,” he added.
“I fear he may only remain in office for another three months, during which confusion and chaos will persist.”
DPK head Lee Jae-myung slammed Yoon’s speech, saying his political existence itself is “dangerous” for the nation.
Lee also rejected Yoon’s suggestion that he would allow his term to be cut short and share administrative power with PPP leaders.
“The greatest risk to the country is the existence of the president himself,” Lee said at a press conference on Saturday.
“We must remove the head of rebellion from the presidency immediately.”
DPK’s Park said the “rebellion head has offered to share power with co-culprits in the rebellion”, referring to the PPP.
Senior DPK lawmaker Kim Min-seok accused Yoon of attempting to extend his grip on power through questionable means.
“By offering to share power with Han, Yoon has essentially offered ‘bribes’ to cling to his position,” Kim said, referring to PPP chief Han Dong-hoon.
Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the parliament building on Saturday ahead of the vote.
“The public will not forgive him,” 63-year-old retiree Lee Wan-pyo said at Seoul’s main train station.
“I just want him to step down,” said Han Jeong-hwa, a 70-year-old housewife.
Police have begun investigating Yoon and others for alleged insurrection.
“I will not shy away from the issue of legal and political responsibility regarding the declaration of martial law,” Yoon said during his address.
An opinion poll released on Friday put backing for the 63-year-old president at a record low of 13 per cent.
On Thursday, Yoon’s office said defence minister Kim Yong-hyun had resigned, but other key allies, including interior minister Lee Sang-min, remain in office.
Prosecutors have also banned Kim from leaving the country, Yonhap reported.
The defence ministry said on Friday it had suspended three senior commanders involved in the martial law operation.
