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?

LGM! (Nice)
Lots of great reads here and delighted #flawlessthebook is included! Flawless is billed as a book about K-beauty but it's really about gender, modern womanhood, & the ongoing struggle for bodily liberation in S Korea
Hereβs one for all the Mahaniacs out there.

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.
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.

The 67-year-old Woo Won-shik, the Speaker of the Korean Assembly, is climbing over the fence to push for the lifting of martial law.
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.
He is a superb follow for anyone interested in reception & interpretation of Sunzi and other Classical Chinese sources. Most highly recommend.
