From what I understand, the military high command supported Yoon even after the assembly voted down martial law. If that's true, didn't he have everything to go through with the coup?

Are you asking how Yoon could have had a better coup?

[-] PhrygianFudge@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 3 weeks ago

I don't support him, if that's what you're asking. I'm just curious about sociology and politics. :)

[-] horse_battery_staple@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

It's absolutely too early to say what support he had or thought he had.

[-] PhrygianFudge@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

He didn't really know for sure, either, I don't think. That's why it's weird to me that he just 'surrendered'. Was what happened completely legal this way? Can he not go to prison?

It's absolutely too early to say. The SK courts will bear this out. Anything you'd hear in this forum or the news is just conjecture.

True. I'm not taking any takes here to be definitely true. I was just interested in other people's perspectives until we get a proper response. :)

I looked at the username. Just in case.

[-] PhrygianFudge@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 weeks ago

Sorry, not that well-versed in the ecosystem here yet. What could my username have meant?

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 9 points 3 weeks ago

I meant just in case it was something like "Yoon_the_coon420" or something like that.

Ah, I see. I thought there was a community of infamous South Korean conservatives or something.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
