The President of S. Korea just Declared Martial Law [View all]

A little background: President Yoon is very much like Trump. It is supposed that he was supported by foreign sources and the politics of S. Korea is very divided (sound familiar?). Yoon declared ML because he says the opposition party is being manipulated by N. Korea. I believe this is a trial run for Trump to declare ML here in the US and Trump will use this as a means to destroy the Democratic Party. Watch closely what happens in S. Korea. Similar things will happen here soon after Trump takes office.
