Summary
Park Chong-jun, South Korea’s presidential security chief, resigned amid police investigation into his guards’ obstruction of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol’s arrest.
Yoon is accused of attempting martial law in December, leading to charges of insurrection.
Park warned against “bloodshed” if authorities forcibly detain Yoon, who remains in his residence after defying arrest warrants.
A second warrant has been issued as investigators prepare for another attempt.
This crisis has sparked political turmoil, with concerns over escalating tensions between government agencies.
It’s good that South Korean politicians and authorities are acting promptly in this situation to protect democracy.
I wonder why nothing ever happened in USA with Trump, and how he is not in jail even 4 years after trying basically the same thing.South Korea has had military dictatorships off and on it’s entire history
Declaring martial law under those conditions, is significantly different than January 6th.
basically the same thing
🤦♂️
You got downvoted but you’re right lmao. Americans like to roleplay having real problems
It’s a weird sort of “black and white” thinking. Like if you admit that something could be worse than what Trump did you’re saying what Trump did was “okay” or something. I guarantee you some people who voted me down feel like I’m defending Trump by pointing out that “an angry mob” is not in the same league as “a military coup”.
The situation wasn’t this extreme in the US, and Trump has the support of a good portion of Congress and the people.
So how many exactly were killed in South Korea? And how many at the White House?
I’d say what Trump did is absolutely just as extreme, and at least as illegal, probably more.There are school shooters with higher death tolls, that doesn’t make them a bigger threat to the nation.
Can you imagine the chaos if Trump not only declared martial law but the military also complied? We’re talking US troops guarding the capitol, not angry rednecks breaking in. Different ballgame.
Weird place to draw the line. I would say an actual military coup is multiple magnitudes more dangerous than a couple dead people. Even if you think a disorganized group of rioters were going to kill some Congressmen, Yoon’s coup actually had plans to use the military to do that.
In game of thrones, Tywin Lannister floods the tunnels under Castamere to just drown the Raines who had hidden themselves down there.
Just build a fence around the dudes home. Not ideal, but saves everyone time and money.
I’m always down for a good ol’ fashioned siege
I thought they already build a fence. Funnily enough to protect Yoon against the police.
