"The U.S. even controls their military." That's really not the case. The ROK military is only nominally under the US-UN command in any normal day to day operations. US military didn't order or impede other interventions by ROK military in local politics over the years... The US-UN command is a legacy of the Korean War when US military commanders could issue direct orders to ROK units in combat vs. the Communists...

Pres Yong(YSY) won his presidency with the slimmest of majority but lost to the Opposition in the Korean Legislative Body(KLB). Thereafter he has openly displayed his pro-American and anti-China stance. Increasingly the Korean people perceived him to be a puppet of the US and this culminated in his superb performance singing American pie. Besides numerous extremely bad domestic policies, his popularity also took a hit when he sent arms to support Ukraine, provoked the North Korean and worst of all, normalized relationship with Japan including forming a tripartite alliance with the US and Japan to counter China. Japan colonized Korea for about 150 years and it was brutal....and up till today the Japanese was never remorseful of the WWII crimes it committed not only in Korea but also China and South East Asia...There is also a lot bad blood between the Korean and Japanese....Just ask any Korean about the Japanese and you will know why.... Consequently, his popularity plummeted to about 15%. He was not able to govern and the Opposition KLB had no choice but to remove him from office. That was why he took the gamble and resorted become a dictator.... It is only a matter of time before the same scenario will play out in the Philippines by Marcos....

I am sure they are going to blame Puti for whats going in in Korea.

Regarding 32:00 - It was 1 million shells, not half a mil, and the US got it loaned to them, it wasn't immediately bought, but yes, the end result is as mentioned.

Brilliant comments and speculation as to the motivation of the South Korean coup. It’s the only possible explanation that considers all the currently-known facts.

[@Republic3D]

Whenever something happens, and the US immediately condemns it, or voices support for it - well the US made it happen. In South Korea I don't think the US knew this would happen, and are trying to figure things out.

[@janineskywalker527]

re Ukraine..so it's more of the same from NATO...at this point. Unbelievable! J

I've always thought it wrong that in Britain former military officers can stand and be elected to Parliament. There should always be a clear separation between civil and military roles.

[@JohnJohnson-n3n]

It used to be in Britain that serving officers were often MPs up until 1975: The House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975 outlaws the holders of various positions from being MPs. These include civil servants, regular police officers (but not special constables), regular members of the armed forces (but not reservists), and some judges.

South Korea was a military dictatorship. Not even that long ago. 1989 is not "way back". Old habits die hard.

[@JohnJohnson-n3n]

Chun last SK military dictator left power in 1988 over 35 years ago ... On 17 April 1997, the judgment was finalized in the Supreme Court. Chun was officially convicted of leading an insurrection, conspiracy to commit insurrection, taking part in an insurrection, illegal troop movement orders, dereliction of duty during martial law, murder of superior officers, attempted murder of superior officers, murder of subordinate troops, leading a rebellion, conspiracy to commit rebellion, taking part in a rebellion, and murder for the purpose of rebellion, as well as assorted crimes relating to bribery.

Alexander your analysis regards what has happened in South Korea is spot on. US power play is so transparent and idiotic and perhaps they should learn from the Russians the subtleties of diplomacy.

Re South Korea: Spot on.

[@teachdemocracy]

Very clever Alex. I think you got the South Korea/Ukraine angle correct. Explains why the U.S. did not condemn the coup attempt, which was completely out of character for South Korea, which has a vibrant democracy, where governments have been changed frequently over the last three decades with out incident.
