Unbelievable - the rest of the world knows how weak Donald Trump is. International chaos already breaking out and he isn't even officially in office yet. It is going to be a hell of a four years.
The White House said it was pleased Yoon had backed down. “We are relieved President Yoon has reversed course on his concerning declaration of martial law and respected the... National Assembly’s vote to end it," a White House spokesperson said. Earlier, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said the United States was watching events in South Korea with "grave concern." Some 28,500 U.S. troops are stationed in South Korea to guard against the nuclear-armed North. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-...esident-yoon-declares-martial-law-2024-12-03/
Yoon's decree also mentioned arresting journalists without warrants. If you are determined to draw parallels Trump is Yoon.
S. Korea's democracy has always been funky. Their chaebols own everything to the point where it's leaders can be freed from corruption sentences because they're too important to the country.
Trump truly resides in you clowns’ heads 24/7. S Korea has a little crisis, Trump is not in office and yet his name has been mentioned in this dumbass thread multiple times? TDS had infected the entire D&D, that’s for sure.
