It seems that Yoon has decided to take a page from the playbook of the former military dictators, Park and Chun.

On Thursday, bodyguards covered Kang’s mouth, lifted up his arms and legs and dragged him out of the hall were the ceremony was being held, after Kang told Yoon repeatedly to change his policies to prevent further citizen distress during and after their handshake.

It is interesting to note that GI Korea conveniently leaves out any news articles that make Yoon look like a fool and/or a dictator who is not interested in the well-being of the Korean people.

“On Thursday, bodyguards covered Kang’s mouth, lifted up his arms and legs and dragged him out of the hall…”

That seems harsh.

What’s this? Wait a moment. We have something coming in over the wire…

“Kang did not let go of the handshake with Yoon and shouted at him,” which was perceived as a threat to presidential security.

So Kang illegally detained the president, yelled at him, and is surprised he got removed from the situation.

Korean Person, choose your battles.

Chicken Head or should I say setnaffa.

You chose to quote the presidential office, which everyone in Korea knows, is known to lie for Yoon and his wife.

But since you don’t live in Korea, you wouldn’t know that.

Choose your battles.

Do you know how I know the presidential office is telling the truth?

Because that particular moment is edited out of videos that would run 24/7 if they showed Yoon unjustly decided to have some low-level politician thrown out for no reason.

Yes.

Or maybe it was because he was dressed in drag with 12 inches of veiny black rubber flopping around on his forehead.

South Korea has no history of leftist violence. Just ask the leftists.

The key takaway is that there has been no organized right-wing violence since the 40s.

All organized violence, from the hippies to Weather Underground to Antifa to BLM has been leftist.

And there are only two types of lefists:

Those too stupid to make it in today’s world without promises of “equity” and those who are predators using the stupids… who never seem to grasp that nothing has really changed after 50 years of redistribution.

Good grief. Just read this from a person who has been to the Ukraine recently (she provided passport evidence later in the thread).
Sure it could be a misinformation campaign…but, well, one can judge for oneself.

, that is tragic and not unexpected. “Russia” has so many “stans” across Western Asia, full of unemployed men, to draw troops from, they can “win” a game of attrition.

I don’t favor either side in that conflict; but every war is detestable (even Pakistan vs. Iran) and should only be fought “all-in” or not at all.

Americans will pay a price (soon and/or in eternity) for prolonging the bloodletting.

Ha!

The worthless vaccine (for most demographics) has become a virtue signal and political fetish for inferior people with otherwise empty lives.

If somebody has nothing going in their pointless and unsuccessful lives, they focus on masks and global warming and Trump is Racist and other urban legends because it makes them feel self-important.

I really should say they can be focused on this nonsense… as self-importance is just a tool of smart people are using them.

I agree with all this. The people more interested in my vaccine status or carbon footprint than personal success don’t deserve any personal success. They are a tool and not fully human from a cognative standpoint, as they are unable to reason like a full human.

I wish them nothing but happiness while their stupidity furthers my goals.

However, when they start wanting to push their mental illness off on me, or the government mistakes me for them, I want to be very clear that I wish not to be involved.

I successfully kept this attitude during the Crazy Years. My success has strengthened me to keep it forever.

And it has made me hateful of all the tards who self-distructively chase whatever stupidity they are told to chase.

Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of the first F16 flight.
It’s a pretty cool story:
First Flight of the YF-16 (20 Jan 1974)

The story of the inadvertent “Flight 0” has become a legend. The morning of 20 Jan 1974 began with an uneventful low-speed taxi test of General Dynamics’ entry in the Lightweight Fighter (LWF) competition (less than two weeks after the YF-16 prototype had been delivered to Edwards AFB). A high-speed taxi was scheduled for the afternoon of the very same day!

Threatened by an approaching front bringing wind gusts and lightning (a real concern for the “all-electric” YF-16), the test team hustled to complete the high-speed taxi before the storm. The test card called for GD’s test pilot Phil Oestricher to bring the throttle to idle at the end of the high-speed run, pitch the nose up to reduce the weight on the mains, and make some roll inputs to get a lateral feel for the aircraft.

Due to a combination of factors–inaccurate lateral gains in the sim, higher than expected ground idle (actually flight idle), a fixed sidestick with no movement to provide cues to the pilot–the aircraft pitched nose high (> 10 deg), the mains left the runway, the aircraft rolled sharply left and the station 1 AIM-9 contacted the runway. This was followed by a rapid right roll & right stabilator contact with the runway. Struggling to control the aircraft through a series of erratic rolls, bouncing mains and pitch oscillations, the aircraft drifted to the side of the runway and nearly departed the prepared surface. Oestricher advanced the throttle and elected to takeoff rather than eject. He made a gentle left turn and landed the aircraft after a six-minute flight.

The subsequent investigation commended Oestricher for saving the prototype (and probably the LWF program) and concluded that the PIO was caused by extremely sensitive control gain compounded by the zero-displacement sidestick. The aircraft was repaired and less than two weeks later(!) had it first “official” flight on 2 Feb 1974 (designated as “Flight 1B” by the program).

On 13 Jan 1975, the SECAF announced the selection of the YF-16 as the LWF winner (the Navy would develop the YF-17 into the F-18). The NYT ran an article that stated: “A multibillion-dollar fighter plane decision is due from the Pentagon this week. That decision will have a major impact on the development and production of fighter aircraft for the Free World.” Fifty years and more than 4600 F-16s later, it is hard to imagine a more accurate prediction for Harry Hilaker’s sleek, elegant, and beautiful design.

Speaking of Novak, this tidbit of irony: ‘Sports writer who critized Novak for not taking Vax dies suddenly while covering Australian open’ https://thefederalistpapers.org/opinion/prominent-sports-journalist-critic-novak-djokovic-dies-covering-tennis-match/

Flyingsword, I’m not sure what to make of the “died suddenly” phenomena.

If you look at the narrative-pushing media, they are trying to normalize healthy 20-somethings dying suddenly.

But on the anti-vax side, everybody who dies, dies suddenly. A followup shows many of these young deaths are suicide, accident, and overdose. And it is foolishness to try and read anything into an 80 year old who “died suddenly”.

In this case, 60 is somewhat young, but isn’t died suddenly without a bit more health information.

What we do know is that all-cause mortality is unexplainably up… and it is up enough that it can’t be hidden with the statistical tomfúckery that we have been seeing since “Breakout cases do happen, but they are exceedingly rare.”

Is this a vaccine side-effect? It is absolutely a possibility. There are several plausable pathways for the vaccine to reduce life expectancy.

Nobody is very interested in looking into this. That is valuable information.

The expectation would be for this to become more noticeable as time passes. This will be spun in some new way like, “They never said the vaccine would keep you from getting covid. It keeps you from dying. That’s just science.”

So now we wait.

It seems that some people still haven’t gotten over the Covid-19 vaccines yet.

How pitiful.

“It seems that some people still haven’t gotten over the Covid-19 vaccines yet.”

That is a true story, but it isn’t the important story.

The important question is if the Covid-19 vaccine has gotten over some people yet.

That has yet to be seen.

But ou are right, in a way.

I didn’t take the vaccine so why should I care? I have no stress over subclinical heart damage that may take years off my life. I don’t worry about my immune system not working correctly when I need it. No flood of spike proteins crossed my blood-brain barrier so I have no risk of dementia or mad cow-like diseases decades from now.

But, as we saw, the destruction brought on by covid was all in the government response and the toxicity of the self-appointed social enforcers.

Being noisy is the only way to keep government from doing it again.

And constantly reminding the vaxtards about their poor life choices is the only chance there is to get them generating some independent thought so maybe they make better future choices which have no bad effect on me.

And, as a bonus, causing a little stress for the vaxtards is sweet payback for the whole lose your jobs, lose your kids, go to camps, don’t buy food programs they were so hot on becasue… science.

Lets see where this all goes.

While I agree, a 60 yr old dying isn’t that unusual, ironic it is that guy. Also, the data is out there about sudden deaths etc. start with this guy: https://www.youtube.com/@Campbellteaching

With the 5 to 4 Supreme Court decision to allow federal forces to cut the razor wire Texas placed to protect their (and America’s) border, we learned something.

The Supreme Court is composed of four American patriots interested in the success of the nation, three anti-Americans with such hate of the white American Dream they will deny it to everyone, and two unintentional actors in kiddy and animal pr0n.
