South Korean Ambassador to Russia Attends Putin’s Inauguration Ceremony
This is an area where South Korea has decided to break away from many western countries and attend Czar President Putin’s inauguration ceremony:
South Korean Ambassador to Russia Lee Do-hoon attended the inauguration ceremony of its leader Vladimir Putin, who began his fifth term as president on Tuesday (local time), Seoul officials said.
Lee’s attendance at the event held at the Kremlin came in contrast to counterparts from South Korea’s ally, the United States, and many Western countries that boycotted the event over its war in Ukraine. European Union nations were also divided over sending delegations to the inauguration, according to news reports.
The decision was made after careful consideration of various pending bilateral issues and the need to manage bilateral relations with Moscow, a source with knowledge of the matter said.

“Czar President Putin”
That’s a bit unfair.
He was democratically elected by the Russian people and has possibly the highest popularity of any elected leader in the world, never below 60% since 1999, and frequently in the 80s.
The reasons are clear when speaking to most Russians.
Nobody in the west has to like Putin, but denying this reality and refusing to recognize the reasons for it, is self-delusion based on propaganda and wishful thinking.
It leads to poor decisions and that constant rage we see so often nowadays when the progression of reality never matches the fantasy-based expectations people have built up in their heads.
The attached picture is a woman who has been programmed to believe the world works in a certain way who is suddenly exposed to reality.
Democrats are genetically predisposed to starting wars that they invariably try to lose. WW2 was a fluke because there were still Democrats who loved America.
Yoon realizes Biden can’t remember what flavor pudding he just ate and wants to avoid letting America use South Korea as a proxy.
