What's going on in Korea?;

Today, December 3, 2024, in South Korea, President Yoon Suk-yeol declared martial law in the country, citing the communist threat as justification

(Does that remind you of anything?)
………………………………………..
Korean kittens, when our own leaders invoked the communist threat to consolidate their power and crush the opposition,
You were still (almost) united with the northerners
………………………………………..
Shortly thereafter, the president made a televised address in which he justified the coup
with excuses like,
«Some people want to deprive the people of their freedom and happiness»
(So, the one who staged the coup is depriving them of their constitutional freedoms to prevent others from doing so…………..)
………………………………………..
According to the president, the problem was
the
«a parliament controlled by the opposition»
and how
«The National Assembly has become a haven for criminals…»
etc.

Thus,
sent troops, including helicopters and commandos, to enter the parliament building and halt the proceedings
………………………………………..
What procedure?;
At that time, Parliament passed a resolution, 190-0, in favor of lifting martial law.

however
But when democracy doesn't suit us, we invent enemies and have the military—whose job is to deal with external threats—serve us power on a silver platter.
………………………………………..
Meanwhile
It did everything else that all the military juntas throughout history have done
i.e.
………………………………………..
He sent tanks out onto the streets
………………………………………..
It strictly prohibited all political activities, including the operation of the National Assembly
………………………………………..
He placed the media under military control (kittens, ask Moses to tell you how that’s done without tanks)
………………………………………..
He banned strikes, work stoppages, rallies, demonstrations, etc.
………………………………………..
The entire medical sector, which had been on strike, was forced to return to work within 48 hours
………………………………………..
also
Can any cop in uniform arrest anyone—without a warrant, without due process, without ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING?
………………………………………..
The Speaker of the House managed to announce that martial law is invalid
but
Special Forces soldiers smashed the windows, stormed the parliament building, and stopped everything
………………………………………..
No one knows the real reason or the real intentions, but it is striking that the U.S., which (supposedly) is so concerned about democracy,
(so far) they've been incorruptible
