The sonovabitch pulled it off.
I’ll be damned.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is still commander in chief and there is no disruption to the U.S. alliance, the defence ministry said on Monday after it was revealed Yoon was under criminal investigation for declaring martial law last week.
Yoon’s grip on power has come into question with dissent growing among senior military officers against the president, and his own party saying it would establish a task force to handle his eventual resignation.
While Yoon survived an impeachment vote in parliament on Saturday, his party’s decision to delegate presidential authority to the prime minister has plunged the key U.S. ally into a constitutional crisis.
Yoon has refused calls, including some from within his own ruling party, to resign, but his future looked more uncertain over the weekend when Yonhap news agency reported he was under criminal investigation for alleged treason.
Police were also considering banning him from leaving the country, Yonhap and other media reported on Monday.
Prosecutors on Sunday arrested ex-Defence Minister Kim Yong-hyun over his alleged role in the declaration of martial law, Yonhap reported.
They’re saying the prime minister has the power now, but if that were the case, the prime minister would just remove the president. Yoon still has the power, and he has only one option: to declare martial law again, and this time hold the line and start summarily executing politicians and protesters.
Obviously, no one really has that big of a problem with this, given that he was not impeached.
Worst case, he does it again and then apologizes again and nothing happens. If you can get away with it once, you can obviously get away with it twice.
We still have not found a conspiracy behind this situation, and it really seems like Yoon just wanted to be a dictator because he thought it would be simple. You don’t have to be a political expert to look at history and see that every democracy ends up with some kind of dictatorship. It’s just the natural flow of things.
