A lot of this made sense pre-December 3. Fortunately or unfortunately Yoon has single-handedly set this debate way back. Who would trust Seoul with nukes after hearing of Yoon's plans to provoke a North Korean attack?

I proudly stand relieved. I have done my utmost and made meager gains. It is time for new, fresh leadership. To others I now place my trust. These others too will place their self-interest aside for the betterment of our Republic.
I am excited to see what new heights they will achieve for us all.

I miss Hanguk. My FOMO got pegged at about 11 this week.
I've told many to not mirror image into our allies there.
But, I'll tell you, now, that I'm proud of our teammates. I hope the same spirit that led a son of Korea, a 707 member, to bow with remorse reflects on us who wear the American flag.

When soldiers entered the National Assembly, lawmakers' aides formed a human shield to protect the main chamber. Inside the chamber, lawmakers were voting on a motion to lift martial law.

Fascinating thread. Recommend for you watching Hanguk.
As of last evening, my follower count, which was around 300, has increased to 1.9K this morning. Most of them appear to be foreigners interested in Korea’s martial law situation. Thank you. Here's an update on the situation in Korea:

“The missile knows where it is because it knows where it isn’t…”
US Air Force in 1997: The cup knows how much is in it at all times. It knows this because it knows how much is NOT in it. By subtracting how much is not in it from how much is in it, it obtains a difference, or deviation.
