President Yoon Defends Attempt to Declare Martial Law

Whether the decree was legal or not, I believe declaring martial law sets a dangerous precedent that a future left wing President could use to get their way as well:

President Yoon Suk Yeol on Thursday defended his botched martial law declaration as an act of governance and denied insurrection charges facing him, while vowing to fight until the last moment against whether it is impeachment or a martial law probe.

In a televised public address, Yoon said sending troops to the National Assembly during martial law can’t amount to insurrection, while defying calls to step down.

Yoon said he used his presidential power to declare martial law “to protect the nation and normalize state affairs” against the opposition that paralyzed the government, calling it a “highly calibrated political judgment.”

“Whether I am impeached or investigated, I will fairly confront it,” he said.

Only one way to eliminate communist rot.

Korea needs people in power who:

– are Korean nationalists who put Korea and Koreans first

– believe in free enterprise (government-enforced level playing field for the little guy) as well as capitolism (increased opportunity with increased investment)

– know the correct amount of socialism (roads, science, health care, education)

– know the correct amount of communism: 0% (creating dependent classes, overtaxation of the productive to support the non-productive, destruction of small business, destruction of middle class)

– resist globalism (allowing multinationals to destroy domestic industry, making strategic decisions that sell out Korea in the long run)

– resist neofeudalism (destruction of the middle class, allowing uncaring multinationals to create a nation of debt slaves)

– have long-term vision instead of instant political gratification or globalist fads (say what you want about Yoon but his support for Korea’s nuclear devrlopment will benefit Korea for many decades)

– have sensible value (fight pollution instead of “global warming”, have a realistic energy policy, secure supply chains at a government level, ensure food security, support basic research to assist industry in staying relevant to global needs, etc., etc., etc.)

This is just a quick list. It can go on and on.

If your politician is not doing these things, “Augusto, gas up the whirlybird.”
