Andy Kim Warns Korean Politicians from Using Current Crisis to Advance Political Ambitions

I wonder who in the South Korean political establishment Senator Kim is directing his comments towards? The person taking the most advantage of this situation is clearly Lee Jae-myung who is set to become President if Yoon is impeached:

Andy Kim, the first-ever Korean American senator, underscored the need Wednesday for South Korea to focus on ensuring stability amid political uncertainty caused by President Yoon Suk Yeol’s botched martial law bid, while cautioning against any move to use the situation to advance “political ambitions.”

Kim (D-NJ) made the remarks as South Korea has been thrust into a period of political turmoil following Yoon’s short-lived martial law imposition on Dec. 3 and his impeachment on Dec. 14.

“It’s really a critical time for stability, not for any particular person to try to use this to advance their own political ambitions,” Kim said during a meeting with Korean and Asian American reporters at the Capitol in Washington.

“It’s about stabilizing it first and foremost,” he added, noting South Korean politicians need to be “very careful and thoughtful” with their thoughts and actions as they are “under a microscope.”

Kim may be a Democrat; but he knows the DPK is really trying to overthrow the legally-elected government.

Let’s hope Lee Jae-Myung gets elected President. That will make GI Korea blow his top and may get him a heart attack. That would be neat. No more hate filled rhetorics on the South Korean political party he dislikes so much. Why doesn’t the US just invade and make SK, a US slave colony? After all, aren’t you guys preparing to war against NATO countries?

He was referring to the PPP party leaders dummy.
