U.S. National Security Advisor Says Yoon was Wrong to Attempt Martial Law
There is really nothing I don’t agree with in Jake Sullivan’s statement:
U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on Friday portrayed impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol’s botched martial law bid as “shocking” and “wrong,” but voiced confidence that “structurally,” the South Korea-U.S. alliance is “incredibly healthy.”
Speaking in a press meeting, he also noted that the Biden administration was not able to make “substantial” progress in the efforts toward the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula with the security trend moving in the “wrong” direction, but stressed America and its allies are in a “materially better” position to deter North Korean threats.
He also expressed concerns over the “risk” of North Korea using the ongoing political turmoil in South Korea to engage in provocative activities, but underscored that Pyongyang “should make no mistake” given the strength of the bilateral alliance.

However notice how the US never condemned this anti-democratic act – like they would have done if what happened in South Korea, had happened in China.
Because the Biden administration is much like GI Korea’s thought pattern.
“Yoon is an idiot for making that mistake, and spoiling everything for the US, when all he had to do was kept doing what he was doing and award the US and Japan, who cares if the South Koreans were suffering under his mismanagement of the country”.
I am convinced Lee Jae-Myung is the only person who can stick up for South Korea, work for the South Koreans, instead of being a door mat for everyone else.
Who cares, this idiot is gone in six days.
A clown from the most incompetent administration ever. Anything thing from the Biden admin isn’t worth a bucket of warm spit.
Of course, you don’t care because you’re American. It’s the Koreans who care.
I don’t know if he will make Korea better, but at least you won’t have to listen to anyone complain.
…and you don’t strike me as the kind of guy who can afford to eat out much.
So he is probably the better candidate for you.
Lee is tough, no-nonsense, won’t beat around the bush, nor suck up to anyone. He is highly intelligent. For instance he can actually rattle off a full hour worth of logically and neatly laid out speech with real figures, real numbers, and real facts without having to read his speech using a written transcript (like Yoon who isn’t very smart). Unlike the accusations that he’s a commie, his policies are not even leftwing as the typical accusations against him goes. In many Western countries he would be considered a Center to Center-Right president. With regards to the US, Lee recognizes the US as an important partner for Korea and is willing to work closely with the US. But if Mr Trump tries to bulldoze Korea over like he did last time, Lee said he’s not afraid to ask the US military to leave. He will work for South Korea, and not for the US and not for Japan.
There is absolutely no lie you can tell which negates the indisputable facts that Lee Jae-Myung openly wants to limit small business and freedom of speech.
These are dealbreakers of the highest order.
…except to people who have no dream of small business and think their speech will still be protected.
Sorry Chickenhead, that’s a lie.
Lee’s bill will make 4 working days per week, standard, to cut number of working days for Koreans. That will help a lot of SME businesses improve on worker productivity and worker’s work/life balance which are sorely needed. This will force companies to better manage their times and make improvements in productivity. Happier workers will be better productive. As result service industries will flourish as result of more time available for workers to use as their enjoyment. Many countries outside of the United States are moving towards this model, so nothing Communist about it.
Every time Conservative party takes over, Korea’s international press freedom ranking always tanks to the bottom. And it’s always up to the Democrats to bring it back up again. So it’s absolutely funny your claims that Yoon will raise Korea’s press freedom (which has been horrible under his administration).
The Setnaffarians want Yoon to remain in power.
They want a right wing government, even a corrupt one, to succeed so they can be mentally comfortable with their choice in choosing the path of extreme right wingism.
That and they want to keep USFK in Korea forever.
Korea Socks, it seems you don’t know the meaning of the word “dealbreaker”.
A clear and open desire to sabotage the self-employed middle class and forbid speech that goes against his agenda is a dealbreaker.
It doesn’t matter how many workdays or how many strippers with how much blow is promised to get elected, his true mind has been exposed.
You have learned nothing of the ways of politicians and sociopaths who crave control.
