Martial law declared in South Korea.

If he has any sense he should just quit, he has no credibility whatsoever after this. Wonder if he will do a Boris and just try and cling on as everyone deserts him.

He should catch the next train heading North.

 

[Cid]

He should catch the next train heading North.

Probably the next boat east in this instance.

He should catch the next train heading North.

A fitting end just after arrival.

The US has recognised Juan Guaidó as interim President of South Korea.

So let me see if I understand this situation right.

The President of the Republic of Korea declared marital[sic] law last night, seemingly on account of his wife (or was it his sister? His sister-wife?) being due to get into legal trouble for being a dodgy corrupt nepo baby or something. Snouts in the trough, some depressingly typical political shit.

Only nobody else was having it. His party disowned the move, the parliament rejected it, and the military just barely went through the motions of it. So the declaration had all the force of a wet fart, but none of the stickiness.

So not only has this dude displayed an absolute contempt for democracy by attempting to circumvent it as a means to stop his nearest and dearest meeting some vague semblance of justice, but he also flopped it so quickly that most of his own countryfolk were able to finish sleeping before it was all over bar the shouting. It's now that I wonder if people in such positions are capable of dying out of sheer embarrassment.

He surely can't be President for much longer. What an absolute pillock.

Was impressed with the people demonstrating, especially the youth. Japan could learn a thing or two.

Seoul Based step-daughter in law and husband did indeed sleep through the whole thing. Unsuprsingly their hot take on the whole situation was "WTAF!!"

I think there was also something about the Govt passing bills he didn't like whilst not passing ones he did and him throwing an almighty strop about it but yeah I think you've got the gist of it,

I’ve heard of a bloodless coup d’état, but not a coup sans coup

 

[Kaka Tim]

coup d'twat
