Hhmmm. To an American historian of Korea, with a Korean wife, and a retired, high ranking bureaucrat in the Korean government as my brother in law, (yes, he had a very direct effect on your life) this smells, rankly, like the lawfare the American Democratic party propogated against Donald Trump. Yes, the same basic, pathetic ideals cross national boundaries. Frankly, I have loved South Korea even before I met my wife. Right now, however, I am disgusted by your actions against Yoon. Did he go too far in his attempt to declare martial law? YES, he did. Does that justify the response to his failure? NO, it does not. Yoon overreached. It was rejected. Now, stop and move on. What you are doing is stepping the RoK back into it's third world days. Do not forget the real world. There is a sane, Machiavellian dictator, not many miles north of Seoul that wants, ONE KOREA, under his family's rule. Your behavior is prepping the ground for his desire. Think about this: there is one, and only one, thing standing in Kim Jong Un's way ... the USA, it's troops and it's agreement to protect you. Our POTUS elect faced similar lawfare in our country. I don't care what you think about it. The absolute fact is that if you push matters to the point where Donald Trump thinks that what you are doing to Yoon is like what was done to him and he withdraws American forces from the peninsula your nation is F***ed. China and Russia will support a DPRK invasion and its version of ONE KOREA. You cannot defeat the DPRK, PRC and Russia without America. We don't owe you our tax dollars and you've milked them for years like you are a third world country. Our soldiers don't owe you their lives and blood. It's fine to remove Yoon as your President. That is your right. But putting him in jail with the threat of additional prison time goes too far. Wake up now South Korea while you are still free to do so. You are walking the cliffside and space is running thin. Yoon might have pissed you off. But, KIm Jong Un will shut your mouths in a very permanent way and you will have no one else to blame and no one to help you. Stop the stupidity now before KJU stops yours with a bullet to the head.
