The irony of the Setnaffarian bot, Joshua Lee—masquerading as a right-wing Koram but giving himself away by using Texan slang—is that President Lee is doing exactly what conservatives want, and still manage to find something to complain about.

The Setnaffarians want a weak right wing President in power so that he will weaken Korea resulting in a big payback from China for the Setnaffarians.

No doubt will mobilize all his laptop farm resources to make that happen.

“This is what I mean by these Minjoo Commies being absolute hypocrites.. Lee is at odds with is past.. he made such a big fuss about being anti-nuclear programs.. and now, he welcomes it.. FAKE PRESIDENT LEE OUT!”

I am going to have to agree with Joshua Lee’s observation and (some of) Korea Thing’s conclusion.

Lee talked a lot of globalist/leftist smack before the election but he has not been pro-globalist/anti-Korean in office. He has managed China with the right amount of sweet talk without any large sacrifice.

If that hypocrisy is needed to win an election through trickery to quietly push a Korean nationalist agenda, there is no complaint.

So far, I don’t want him out. He should stay in and bend the anti-Korean globalist/left to grudgingly support Korea and its future.

Setnaffa is mobilizing his laptop farm to harvest sales from his latest books on how to beat AI by not using it…

CH will probably see what I’m doing…
