Now Kim Yong-hyeon is trying to pass things off to his subordinates as he becomes the fall guy for Yoon. All while democratic party and PPP sling mud at each other about every last detail seemingly helping Yoon by entrenching partisan politics while galvanising Yoon's more vocal fanatical support

중국이 왜 거기서 나와? I have no particularly positive feelings about China nor Lee Jae Myeong, but the PPP is relentlessly drawing on other sets of meaning to shield Yoon & change how this impeachment & arrest are understood. This will make moving on from this mess much harder as polarization is ramped up

After DP included Yoon's provocation in bill, 오 시장은 “북이 입에 담지 못할 욕설을 하고, 우리 혈세로 지은 건물을 폭파해도 문재인 전 대통령처럼 침묵하거나 중국에는 그저 ‘셰셰’하면 된다는 이재명 대표처럼 처신해야 한다는 의미냐” When NK slander us & blow up buildings built with our taxes do we have to be silent like Moon Jae in, or say XieXie to China like Lee Jae Myeong?

Thankfully the noice on the streets is more important that this muddying of waters that somehow seeks to suggest some level of equivalence between political parties as Dempcrats impeach Yoon's officials. www.hani.co.kr/arti/society...

윤석열 대통령의 내란 개입 정황이 한층 구체화하는 가운데, 헌법재판관 임명은 안갯속인 상황에 대한 ‘불안과 공포’를 딛고, 시민들은 주말을 맞아 다시 서울 도심 사직로와 세종대로를 빼곡히 메운 채 외쳤다. “수사거부 윤석열을 즉각 체포하라” “헌법재판관 지

Yoon was planning martial law for months, he was willing to do some real dirty stuff in that process, and that includes provoking nuclear armed North Korea across the most fortified border in the world

The more partisan this gets the easier it is for PPP & Yoon's ministers to start turning this into a problem of stability where Democrats start taking some blame. Muddying waters with maybe this maybe that completely detracts from the heart of the issue.

Like have some perspective here, Han is not some technocrat that cares about democracy, he has been with Yoon since the start, was abhorent after the Itaewon disaster, & failed to register any resistance in the state council meeting before Yoon declared martial law.

Han Deok-Su merely parroted PPP's line. In situation where ppp don't have much sympathy from anyone including most the right, & details of Yoon & military pals' actions are increasingly shocking, Id say its more a case of time will tell if people see PPP going too far 'again' rather than democrats.

As discussed in my July article for the diplomat thediplomat.com/2024/07/russ... & as Yoon has shown us, the possibility for clashes that escalate is high. Focus needs to be brought on re-establishing communication & putting processes in place to de-escalate immediately when tensions are high
Russia-North Korea Treaty Marks a Return to Normalcy
We are witnessing a steady return to a web of relations previously regarded as normal after a recent, somewhat exceptional 30-year period.
