This photo I took of a Korean protester at No NATO rally in Washington D.C. July 2024 says it all: Koreans consider President Yoon to be a lap dog of the U.S.
Gangjeong statement on Yoon's Martial law
Yoon Seok-yeol must accept the National Assembly's resolution demanding the lifting of emergency martial law, and Yoon Seok-yeol must resign!
President Yoon Seok-yeol declared emergency martial law. His proclamation to eliminate those who disagree with him by naming them as anti-state forces shows his ignorance of democracy. Just as war divides people into allies and enemies, and sets up people who are different as targets that must be killed, Yoon Seok-yeol is attempting to provoke a war that frames citizens as enemies.
The main culprit who has brought about this situation in which we have to shout “abolish martial law, bring down the dictatorship” in 2024, and who has trampled on the democracy that countless people have struggled to advance with their blood, sweat, and tears is not the “anti-state forces” as President Yoon Seok-yeol said, but Yoon Seok-yeol himself. Yoon must stop his grave crime of destroying the constitutional order, he must immediately accept the National Assembly's resolution demanding the lifting of martial law, and he must take responsibility and resign immediately!the pre-dawn of December 4, 2024Gangjeong Peace Network, Association of Gangjeong Villagers Against the Jeju Navy Base, and individuals condemning Yoon Seok-yeol’s declaration of emergency martial law and demanding the resignation of Yoon Seok-yeol
Mainer Bruce Gagnon in Gangjeong last year to stand in solidarity with their long-running resistance to a U.S. military deep water port and now spaceport construction on Jeju Island.
Another member of the board of directors for the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space commented:
CNN is calling it "instability." But to me, it seems like the "checks and balances" in Korea government are working fantastically. Within two hours, the Assembly unanimously overturned Youn's announcement of martial law. You would never see that in the U.S.'s broken government. I'm curious what [Gangeong resistance leader's] opinion is, but it seems to me that the only "instability" (as CNN calls it) is the fact that puppet leader Youn has fallen from favor fast and hard. Oh No! There is no one for the U.S. to control anymore! What's going to happen to the U.S.-ROK alliance now??? We can't go to war with China with this link in the chain broken!!!
Reuters video: How six hours of martial law unfolded in South Korea.
The U.S. has long treated South Korea as a colony but the people have never accepted this and I doubt they ever will.
