    The United States is South Korea’s key security ally, with Washington stationing about 27,000 troops in the country to help counter nuclear-armed North Korea.

    :yea: that's exactly how the history of this conflict occurred ... NK got nukes and then SK asked USA for protection from the NK nukes, such historically factual reporting right there

      Give him prop though, unlike EU leaders killing their economy for their master. At least he didn’t go along with all ridiculous American demand to kill Occupy Korea economy

        Honestly, no idea. I am not a big Korea watcher, but I do know that weird fashy politics like this tends to blow up if they don't actually do anything to maintain their base, and he basically won by a razor thin margin based on the incel vote and has done basically nothing but try to assume direct control of the police and fucked with the education system. Dude has an approval rating below 20% and his party is apparently melting down so, probably bad news.

          The incel vote?

          Jesus they're big enough in Korea to influence elections? Man, Korean masculinity is just a disaster zone if they can't get laid. Koreans have always been badasses, historically.

            I think his campaign relied pretty heavily on him being an anti-feminist and being "pro-millitary" (since only men in RoK have to do millitary service, that country has had a very strange system of gender roles).

              Why don't women have to serve too? That's fucked up. Imagine being forced to kill people just because of your gender. I'd change my gender identification in a heartbeat.

    South Korea does not need US forces to defend against the DPRK. No. It has plenty of its own armed forces and the North's conventional army is weak and based on 1970s technology.

    The US forces are there to threaten China. They said as much when Trump wanted to withdraw them.

      The fact that the US has laws that enable it to take over the entire Korean military during a war is hilarious. Imagine thinking you live in a sovereign country lmao

    The hot mic comments come just days after Yoon’s office was forced to defend his decision to skip paying respects to Queen Elizabeth’s coffin lying in state, allegedly due to “heavy traffic”.

    In August, he was also criticised for a chaotic official response to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to South Korea, where she landed after a contentious stop in Taiwan.

    Damn critical support I guess.

    smh can't believe I had to click through for the comments :amerikkka:

    “How could Biden not lose damn face if these f***ers do not pass it in Congress?” Yoon was caught saying to his aides afterwards in footage that went viral in South Korea.
