On December 3, President Yoon Suk-Yeol attempted to impose martial law in South Korea as part of an effort to take more power and reignite the Korean War. Social movements took to the streets en masse and stopped the coup. Legislators then successfully voted to impeach President Yoon, who is refusing to resign. Clearing the FOG speaks with Ju-Hyun Park of the Korean diaspora organization Nodutdol about long-term US intervention in South Korea, how the coup attempt was thwarted, alleged plans to create a false flag event implicating the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and what happens next.
The fact that the US vassal was not given the go-ahead to carry out a massacre that would politically destabilize the territory in a way that would stretch US forces even thinner for no real benefit is not evidence of America being hands off about this. It’s just as easily evidence for the opposite conclusion: that Yoon was ready and willing to do Kent State 2, only to have Washington yank his leash.
So the article is trying to make the argument that the US was a part of the coup yet the only fingerprints that could be traced to the US is that it kept the coup from being carried out.
Nope, that’s me pointing out that your argument cuts both ways: you’re implying that what, a vassal state’s military all just unanimously decided not to obey the president, and the hegemon that uses the place as a military and intelligence nexus just had no part in that decision? The US don’t need to care about fingerprints in occupied Korea, they’re the whole hand.
Nothing in the preview indicates US involvement.
The US has it entire arm up the arse of the South Korean army and government.
there is nothing in there but two arms.
one of them is the United States government
the other one is the Samsung corporation.
if not for the arms inside it, the puppet would be a limp hollow tube of colorful cloth.
i mean, it sucks and it should stop, absolutely the United States should fuck off, but I’m saying that if/when it ever does, it won’t be pretty.
And the South Korean military didn’t crush parliament when it voted for impeachment despite orders from the South Korean President.

It’s inference from his platforming of us agenda. War with north is a big us weapon sales opportunity.
You could have made the same conclusion regarding China and sales to NK
The actor being agitating is a us agent in this case. There is a ROK military industry too.
Most coutries’ oligarchy are not as well fed as to equivocate weapons mongering basis for corruption and war.
