Not really. The Korean people are fighting aginst Yoon's unconstitutional martial law to cover up his and his wife's crimes. This is a collective act to defend democracy.

[@logosrhemalego]

@@Toto-w4e I am sorry for your shallow understanding of the whole Korean political situation now. Yoon is at a political war against communism and the martial law was inevitable. If Yoon fails re-establish democracy, the US’s stands on democracy will be threatened and I believe the Trump administration is aware of this.

[@logosrhemalego]

@logosrhemalego Feel sorry for yourself. Yoon is the real threat to democracy in Korea. No one believes the version of the late 20th century anti-Communism that dictatorial regimes used to legitimate their dictatorship.

The reporter from South Korea, Dae-Han Song, is so biased toward the far-left parties and their ideas. He NEVER mentioned how fervently supporters of President Yoon's martial law and his speech explaining how the law was issued and ended without any physical or martial conflicts. He should have stated both sides. In fact, Korean lawmakers (pro-CCP and pro-North Korean politicians, the Democratic Party of South Korea) have paralyzed the Korean administration to block the movement of all future businesses and industries. Even their initial grounds for the President's impeachment related to international politics were that President Yoon has not been friendly with Russia, the CCP, and North Korea. Recently, even the party blocked the law to investigate the spy after a recent incident of a CCP spy taping our national military aircraft carriers using a drone. This is insane! We are in a battle for freedom and democracy in South Korea. The broadcaster should provide a fair report based on the FACTS after close investigations, not just one side.

[@babesimmons4017]

Our large circle is taking notes on the fall of South Korea and the Syrian Dictatorship.

[@EdL-m3b]

One of the best explanation by a Korean poster: "As a Korean, I would like to elaborate on worst things that dems in Korea have been doing that possibly lead to the martial law so far. (current parliament out of 300 seats, 180 seat is taken by dems which means they have 100% control over almost everything) 1) Refuse to update the law against spy: government wanted to update the law against spy to not only cover N.korea but also other countries with prime example being China as they could be working together. Dems have repeately refused to update this law. 2) Update the most absurd government budget every known: They reduced the budget of president's office, prosecution office and police office down by 100%, literally 0$. I'll explain the reasoning behind this on my next point. Not only that, They reduced budget placed for safety of ppl and wellbeing by substantial amount. 3) Most impeachments ever in the history of this country: You have to know abt Jae-myeong Lee (the leader of Dem party). He has been under numerous investigations for many years now. The list is very long but the most important ones are violations of election law, connection with gangsters, perjury, corruption and Remittance to North Korea. President Yoon really wanted to give him justice so he put lots of effort into Lee's investigation. Dems have Initiated impeachment proceedings against 22 government officials, and after they won the 180 seats in the parliament, they forcefully impeached 10 more ppl. The list included more than 7 inspectors, Minister of Public Administration and Security, Chairman of the Korea Communications Commission, Auditor General and Minister of Defense. Just to run down the country and protect Lee to make him the next president. 4) Connection with North Korea: Members of dem and MANY of labour party including higher ups (they are basically a team here in Korea) were actively caught spying for North Korea. Some of them actually got caught meeting North Korean party members secretly overseas. 5) Refuse to pass any law and objects literally anything that would benefit the country just for the sake of putting down Yoon's rating I understand Left and Right have different roles and idealogy but one thing that must be common is for the benefit of the country and the people. What dems in Korea have been doing is to literally run down the country just so that ppl would hate Yoon, thus win the next election or impeach him to gain power again." S. Korea being close to China and with a pro-US stance it's a good place to practice for China. What's happening in South Korea may eventually happen in the US. And actually it did happen in the US 2020 election. Election to favor Beijing Biden like it did with former president Moon Jae-in who is a China shill. Culprit in both cases? Communist China!

[@riverpirate1022]

1000% correct. Thank you for explaining it for the democommies here. Not that they care.

Go South Korea

[@economaniac]

It was russian or chinese influence on korean president

[@EdL-m3b]

About martial law. Basically South Korea is being attacked from within by The Opposition Party, North Korea and China. About the use of special forces. It was right out of a Kurosawa film. The president got a tip off from Kyrgyzstan high officials on the same day and Yoon, the president of S. Korea sent two groups, one "bad cop" and one "good cop" to two separate places. While the bad cops were doing their thing - about 100 forensic specialists entered another building. The forensic team knew exactly where the servers were and was able to copy the hard discs into an image and leave quietly while the "bad cops" were getting much of the attention. Notice no one was shot or hurt or arrests made. There was communication between special forces members to NOT bring ammo - the weapons were empty. 7.62 rounds would shred people and you saw no blood. Most of these liberals forget that S. Korea is still at war with North Korea and over the years North Korea agents have committed assassinations and terrorist activities. "North Korea has a history of state-sponsored terrorism against South Korea, dating back to the 1950s. The most notable attack is the hijacking and bombing of Korean Air Lines (KAL) Flight 858 in 1987. Two North Korean agents, posing as students, hijacked the plane and forced it to divert to Pyongyang, where it was blown up, killing all 115 people on board." Another is the police have known not to take orders from the president's office. So, the military was sent. How would they know who was in the building with rampant North Korean sympathizers and spies everywhere. I reckon they needed that many hours to make an image of the servers. So far after the initial forensic they found communications and millions sent to North Korea. And even traced Huawei and Tencent that led to China. It will take a few more days for the forensic to finish and then they will publicly release their findings. Both North Korea and China were rigging elections in South Korea - this was what led to the martial law. Earlier this year North Korea flew 5 drones over Seoul and one even flew over the president's residence. A Chinese student was found to fly a drone near USS Theodore Roosevelt docked off Busan. The authorities found 5 minutes of video from end to end of the ship. For those who supported the coup from the North were duped.

[@economaniac]

I judge by russian officials. They reacted unhealthy. Judging by what is happening in Georgia, martial law was triggered by Russia or China or their influencers. It was a mirror if Georgian parliament decision about their president.

[@thk639]

The truth behind the declaration of martial law will be revealed in the Supreme Court ruling. The primary purposes for implementing martial law were to protect citizens from the opposing party's dictatorship and to expose the national election fraud that occurred in both 2020 and 2024. The enforcement of martial law was carried out peacefully and legitimately; in fact, no injuries were reported during the three-hour period. Additionally, the national election committee has voided and rejected audits that have taken place over the last 50 years. This may seem paradoxical, but the declaration of martial law marked a new beginning for democracy.
