but president biden would be justified in declaring martial law and rounding up trump's domestic terrorists while he still has immunity.

i have not been to korea in over 40 years, but i'm guessing trump plans on turning our korean allies over to his little buddy. . thanks for the bbc link.

This incident is truly strange




1) The president of South Korea expected an impeachment from the opposition.

2) To prevent that, he declared martial law banning all political activity!

3) The Korean army came and closed off the parliament to prevent MPs to come in and vote!

4) Korean MPs climbed over the fence and made their way to the parliament, breaching the block!

5) The special forces tried to storm the parliament, to stop the “political activity”

6) The parliament was as able to vote, and they voted unanimously to lift the martial law and lift all restrictions!

7) The army not know what to do first, decided to abide by the parliament and left!

8) Martial law will remain in place in South Korea until the president issues a decree to lift it.

The president is constitutionally obliged to lift martial law after a decision by parliament.

9) The South Korean president is expected to be arrested and impeached, according to media reports.

-> The opposition and the people won, by sneaking into the parliament and voting!
