It will only be 4 years if we’re lucky.

They’re poorly trained by Russian standards? That’s impressively bad!

Everything’s on an orb! The whole planet’s an orb! Go, go go!!

in case of war involving the Republic of Korea, the US Army will take over command of the Korean forces

Uhh, might wanna rethink that one once Trump’s in power…

It’s possible a few might, and with the razor thin majority they have it might end up a majority opposing it, but the SCROTUS would nip any resistance in the bud regardless.

In the end, it’s what the military actually end up doing (or not doing) that will determine South Korea’s fate. You’re right that letting them get away with it will only encourage further lawlessness in the future even if they manage to get through this now.

EDIT: Yoon said he’d lift it, but I really hope they don’t let the opposition to the rule of law go unpunished.

That’s how it seems so far. Hoping this doesn’t end badly for South Korea. The last thing we need is another dictatorship in the world.

That has a paywall? It doesn’t for me for some reason. Does this work?

Not just yet, but it’s dangerously close.

True, but I was referring to when Trump declares martial law, as he said he would. There will be no opposition from his own party as there was here.

Military. They said they’re not leaving until the president stops declaring martial law.

Or has it?

The South Korean military says it will maintain martial law until it is lifted by President Yoon Suk Yeol, despite the nation’s parliament voting to block its enforcement, according to the country’s national broadcaster.

Ooh, not great. Preview of the US in January? Except for the blocking part, that’d never happen.

Apparently, yes, they respected it.

The military personnel that had been in the building earlier have now departed - but the representatives say they will stay put in case of an attempt to disband the parliament.

EDIT: Aaand they’re not gone.

You mean like he said he would? It will be very, very bad.

That doesn’t mean it’s not still a skill issue.

It seems that fascism being elected into the White House has made the shit leak out more everywhere, including Lemmy. I suspect my block list will be busier than ever in the coming years.
