Expect public outrage in South Korea in the coming week
Prepare for MASSIVE protests. I'd venture the coming protests will outdo those that saw Park Geun-Hye removed from power. One thing about Koreans: they will absolutely not be cowed. They've overthrown dictatorship and removed a president from power, all with largely peaceful protests.

According to Korean constitutional law, if martial law is declared in a state of non-war, the National Assembly can vote to make the president stand it down. The National Assembly is gathering now.

We are just now getting footage of inside the National Assembly.

South Korea’s President Yoon just declared emergency martial law, accusing opposition of 'anti-state activities'.

Under martial law, the government can:
- restrict freedom of the press,
- limit assembly and association,
- curb publication rights

Okay, China should probably chip in more.

But what the largest CO2 emittors per-capita?
China has now passed Europe and is approaching the U.S. in its historical contribution to global warming. At climate talks in Baku, rich nations say China should chip in more aid to address the problem. nyti.ms/3ZdQ5vt
