Yoon has been a lame duck president since the latest general election when the opposition won a landslide.
He was not able to pass the laws he wanted, instead, he was reduced to vetoing desperately any bills that the opposition had been passing.
Yoon is also mired in several scandals, mainly one around his wife, who is accused of corruption. She is also accused of influence peddling. The opposition has been trying to launch a special investigation against her.
This week, the opposition slashed budgets that the government and ruling party had put forward - and the budget bill cannot be vetoed.
In the same week, the opposition is moving to impeach cabinet members, mainly the head of the government audit agency, for failing to investigate the first lady.
Yoon has gone for the nuclear option - he claims it is to restore order when “anti-state” forces he says are trying to paralyse the country.
This is what Trump enables, you dumb fucks. If the US and it’s systems are beyond failure, all of these assholes will be trying this shit until some semblance of order is restored. Watch.
Netanyahu also did that. (His nation was also under attack tho, but still an overreaction and probably just to stay in power and not get prosecuted.)
Remember a few years ago when some pundits were telling the masses that South Korean democracy is a beacon of the world and that Americans can all learn something from South Korea’s vibrant democracy? Now South Korea looks very similar to the US on 1/06.
Americans can all learn something from South Korea’s vibrant democracy?
The way all those ajusshimis stormed the capital and pushed past the military to usher the Parliament back in and end the coup was - IMHO - a sign of a vibrant democracy that Americans could learn a lot from.
