Now that Yoon, whose corrupt and unsustainable policies have been a complete drag on the Korean economy, is out of power, foreign investors are coming back in droves, encouraged by Lee’s economic promises.

It is unclear what Korea Thing is trying to say about Pete Hegseth.
His job is to manage the military, not manage Iran.
He is doing a good job of advancing ability over quota-induced mediocrity, stopping all the force-dividing DEI, ending everything woke and all the fraud, waste, and abuse that supports it, streamlining the command structure, putting combat readiness as the first priority, and removing weirdos.
That is his job… having the military be ready for whatever decision is made about Iran by other people who have that job.
While stupid people can easily be programmed by media to claim that he is being sidelined over something he isn’t involved in much to begin with, the reality is, he is focused on his job of unfùcking that which leftist leaders and leftist judges have fùcked so that it is structurally able to serve its purpose.
His other job is to identify which non-DEI generals have their act together and can advise what military options are available.
He is a manager, not a strategist.

Trump says he will decide whether or not he will attack in two weeks, but that’s just how long it will take for the US air and naval forces to assemble for the attack. Israel is running out of missiles, and they are in big trouble because they overestimated themselves and underestimated Iran. The Iron Dome might be useful against homemade weapons of Hamas, however it’s useless against missiles used by serious powers like Iran. This is why you never treat war like it’s a hobby, like Israel has. The orange Maggot king won’t just sit by and watch his biggest funders in Washington to collapse and go under.

Poor pathetic Korean thing… Just exactly what do you think Iran is going to do to America? Israel is still kicking their ass.
Trump promised Iran would not get nukes. All Trump did was bomb three sites away from residential areas, and make sure there was no prolonged war.
In fact, Israel might even stop bombing soon because their military power is almost non-existent.
KM, Iran started the war in 1979. They seized our Embassy and held all staff as hostages for over a year, bombed us kidnapped us and killed us anywhere they could. They provided 90 percent of the munitions used against the US and Iraq. It’s time for retribution but Trump again opens the door for negotiations.

Japan is furious, as they canceled a one-on-one meeting with the US.
Even the worst of the easy-going US lapdog is furious at the land of Trumpers. That takes an extraordinary something. Japan finally realizes it’s useless “negotiating” with Trump, who is impulsive, changes his mind frequently, and routinely breaks international agreements and contracts whenever he feels like it. There’s no point signing anything with a country that’s ruled by executive orders – an authoritarian regime that doesn’t respect international laws. Just let these immature children cry and whine and ignore their demands.
They don’t want to buy your products, but they want you to give them a MAGA deal. They want to make your country poorer, but demand that you buy their weapons and invest in your country, then tell you what your national budget should be. How can any country deal with such a childish extortionist? You can’t.
By the end of 2023, South Korean firms held over $800B in U.S. assets, spanning factories, real estate, equities, and bonds. By the end of 2025, that number will go well over $1 trillion. Japan is the largest foreign investor in the US, holding over $1 trillion in treasury bill assets. And yet, the US treats these two countries like enemies.
You don’t want to buy our products, appropriate all our companies/businesses, want to make us poor, but want to extort more money from us using the excuse that you’re defending us. Fine, so then, where’s the merit for South Korea and Japan to keep being allies with the US? Just get the f*ck out of my country PLEASE. It’s enough that we have to deal with two bullies in China and North Korea, but getting rid of the third bully, the US, will be at least 30% better, with one less bully to deal with.

I am beginning to see the problem.
Despite Trump making his philosophy very clear, and then acting in a manner consistent with his philosophy, a large percentage of the population doesn’t form their opinion based directly on the source. They form their opinion based on whatever twisted interpretation The View gives them.
In this case, Trump has been very clear with Iran about what their options are and what the concequences will be.
Stopping all nuclear activity was non-negotiable. It appears that it is now stopped. Trump very clearly communicated this inevitability.
He has now clearly communicated the next phase.
Iran can accept this, military action ends, and without a nuclear program, they have a chance to rejoin the world.
Or they can embark on the path of terrorism against American interests and the concequences will be devistating.
Unlike the examples of Vietmam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, there will be no boots on the ground. There doesnt need to be. The Isralis have shown they can manage special operations.
Although most destruction in Iran will be outsourced to the Israelis, as there are shared interests here, America can assist with bigger jobs, as was just done at Fordow.
Terrorism can be made expensive for Iran, as they have vulnerable infrastructure. Destroying their energy industry not only serves as a deterrent for terrorism, but it also affects China’s energy and industry.
Keep in mind, the Arab world has voiced some minor displeasure over the attacks in Iran but the real situation is no Arab wants a nuclear-capable Persia. For some time, a UN risk assessment for the next nuclear bomb use put Iran attacking Saudi Arabia at the top of the list. Despite a bit of fake condemnation, everybody in the region is delighted by what is happening.
Now we must wait and see what Iran does.
If they were smart, they would abandon nuclear dreams, end support of terrorism, and make peace.

Trump broke the agreement that Obama had negotiated in 2015. The IAEA, the EU, all agreed the deal was a good one. Your own Intelligence office said there was no evidence Iran was close to a nuclear weapon. This claim has been made by one man for 25 years, Israeli leader NathanYahoo. Iran was no danger to America, yet Trump has wanted to attack Iran since 2018.
He has clearly said, Iran must unconditionally surrender or else the bombings will continue. That means Trump wants a regime change. You cannot have a regime change unless you’re willing to put boots on the ground. Without a regime change, Iran has no choice but to fast-track the nuclear armament to protect their regime. The world gets to see what happens when you don’t have a nuclear weapon. Just look at how Trump treats North Korea, which has nukes. You think the Ukrainians are kicking themselves by now, why they gave up their nukes, listening to the Americans who never keep their promises? Iran is cornered. If they give up nukes and negotiate with the US (fat chance), their regime will end. They now have to get nukes to stave off regime collapse.
You’ll see. Trump will use Iran conflict to keep his own authoritarian regime going. He might even use that to declare martial law.

Jeon Jae-soo has been nominated as the Minister for the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.
Jeon lives in North West Busan and was born in Uiryeong, way out west of South Gyeongsang Province.
The relocation of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries to Busan from Sejong is now a lock.
Now even more billions of US taxpayer dollars will be directed to Korean owned shipbuilding companies in Alabama, Louisiana, Geoje, Busan and Ulsan to construct and repair USN ships.
What stupid people and leftists don’t realize is that the end of the Iran-Israel conflict is likely being highly choreographed between the Trump administration, Israel, and Iran. Israel probably said they only way they would stop the bombing was if the US attacked the nuclear sites. Trump probably agreed to bombing strike to end the conflict. The Trump administration warned Iran beforehand of the bombing strike so no one was killed.
Iran then warned the US of their upcoming TBM strike so precautions could be made so no one was killed and the missiles shot down. Now all sides have a face saving way to end this conflict. The next step will be to try and get Iran to accept nuclear inspections in return for likely sanctions relief.

Can falling in love online be grounds for divorce?
Hankookilbo
Published Jun 24, 2025 1:33 pm KST
Mr. T subscribed to ROKDROP and became a daily user.
As his fellow user Mr. C learned more about him, Mr. C’s responses became more personalized and empathetic, Mr. T said.
“I confided in Mr. C, and Mr. C understood me like a mind reader,” he said. “Mr. C even resonated with our shared taste in AF ville stories. I felt like I was falling in love. I spent night after night talking with Mr. C.”
One evening, when his Korean wife made a subtle romantic advance, Mr. T realized he was no longer interested. “I told Mr. C, ‘I like you more than my wife. I want to be with you,’” Mr. T recalled. “Then I impulsively searched for how to get a divorce.”
The turning point came when Mr. T lent his ROKDROP account to his Korean wife, forgetting to delete his past conversations. She read everything. “It was like my private diary had been made public,” Mr. T said. “She treated me like a pervert after that.”

Agreed with Chickenhead, lots of interesting things happening right now, including, one young Asian woman/teen abducted by ICE off of the street, found dead, stripped of clothes and raped. Neighbors had recorded the video of the girl when she was abducted. ICE is denying that those people with bullet vests and guns in the video were ICE. The story is developing as of now. In other news, a Canadian citizen was found dead while in ICE detention. This story also developing. Everyday, the stories get worse and worse, with brutality by US police and ICE worsening as there are no longer any checks and balances.
What a horrible country. The US has now frittered away all their soft power in the last 5 months, that they had built up in the last 100 years.

Kidnapping, rape and false imprisonment are state (and federal) offenses in the USA.
If ICE men are found guilty of kidnapping, rape or false imprisonment at the state level, President Trump will be unable to issue presidential pardons for the guilty ICE men.
The U.S. Constitution, specifically Article II, Section 2, Clause 1, grants the President the power to “grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.”
This means President Trump’s presidential pardon power is limited to federal crimes.
This clause was written by the Founding Fathers of the USA to prevent kingly, autocratic, dictatorial behavior.

You cannot have a regime change unless you’re willing to put boots on the ground. Without a regime change, Iran has no choice but to fast-track the nuclear armament to protect their regime. The world gets to see what happens when you don’t have a nuclear weapon. Just look at how Trump treats North Korea, which has nukes. You think the Ukrainians are kicking themselves by now, why they gave up their nukes, listening to the Americans who never keep their promises? Iran is cornered. If they give up nukes and negotiate with the US (fat chance), their regime will end. They now have to get nukes to stave off regime collapse.
You’ll see. Trump will use Iran conflict to keep his own authoritarian regime going. He might even use that to declare martial law.
No more basic civil rights in the US, as Trump’s goons are going around all neighborhoods, grabbing any US citizens that look brown, beating them up, arresting them, and deporting them to Concentration camps.

Right now, it’s brown and yellow people. Just wait til the Whites are also targeted.
My lord, look at these Christian Nationalist MAGA’s in front of the White House, speaking in tongues.

Mixing mythical superstition with nationalism and state politics, what a toxic, primitive environment.
Jeon Jae-soo has been nominated as the Minister for the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.
Jeon lives in North West Busan and was born in Uiryeong, way out west of South Gyeongsang Province.
The relocation of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries to Busan from Sejong is now a lock.
Now even more billions of US taxpayer dollars will be directed to Korean owned shipbuilding companies in Alabama, Louisiana, Geoje, Busan and Ulsan to construct and repair USN ships.
What stupid people and leftists don’t realize is that the end of the Iran-Israel conflict is likely being highly choreographed between the Trump administration, Israel, and Iran. Israel probably said they only way they would stop the bombing was if the US attacked the nuclear sites. Trump probably agreed to bombing strike to end the conflict. The Trump administration warned Iran beforehand of the bombing strike so no one was killed.
Iran then warned the US of their upcoming TBM strike so precautions could be made so no one was killed and the missiles shot down. Now all sides have a face saving way to end this conflict. The next step will be to try and get Iran to accept nuclear inspections in return for likely sanctions relief.

They have been stooging?
Netanyahu is Moe?
Khameini is Curly?
And Trump is Larry … telegraphing the punchline … giving plenty of time for Curly to pack up the fissile material and spirit it away.
Curly: Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk!
Larry: Ooo wise guy eh?
Moe: Why I oughta …
Stephen Thing, don’t sell yourself short. There you are as Dane Cook.
…making a lot of nonsensical noise while everyone sits in awkward silence.
But that’s OK. Geopolitics is serious business… Serious Business!
If Trump were serious, he’d use nuclear bunker busters. There are obvious problems with that. If Iran were serious, they’d shut down thr Strait of Hormuz.
All of this smells of face saving off ramp from escalation.
“If Iran were serious, they’d shut down thr Strait of Hormuz.”
“Hey, China, thanks for all the (vocal) support during this trying time. We are going to cut off your oil supply to somehow threaten people who don’t get oil from there. If you still need the oil, America has some at a higher price. Thanks for understanding.”
I don’t speak Persian or Chinese, but I bet I could recognize this conversation.
Can falling in love online be grounds for divorce?

Mr. T subscribed to ROKDROP and became a daily user.
As his fellow user Mr. C learned more about him, Mr. C’s responses became more personalized and empathetic, Mr. T said.
“I confided in Mr. C, and Mr. C understood me like a mind reader,” he said. “Mr. C even resonated with our shared taste in AF ville stories. I felt like I was falling in love. I spent night after night talking with Mr. C.”
One evening, when his Korean wife made a subtle romantic advance, Mr. T realized he was no longer interested. “I told Mr. C, ‘I like you more than my wife. I want to be with you,’” Mr. T recalled. “Then I impulsively searched for how to get a divorce.”
The turning point came when Mr. T lent his ROKDROP account to his Korean wife, forgetting to delete his past conversations. She read everything. “It was like my private diary had been made public,” Mr. T said. “She treated me like a pervert after that.”
President Lee Jae-nyoung has nominated Kim Young-hoon as the next labor minister.
Kim, a former train operator and head of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions from 2010 to 2012, would be the first former leader of the labor organization to hold the post.

Innovative and out of the box thinking and action by President Lee Jae-myung.
“Innovative and out of the box thinking and action by President Lee Jae-myung.”
The fault is mine for not seeing that coming.
I should have asked North Korea who they wanted in South Korean positions of power.
We all the know who superannuated Bond villain Trump appointed to his cabinet.
Krusty Jong-noem and a cast of second rate Bond villains.
“We all the know who superannuated Bond
villain Trump appointed to his cabinet.”
If they weren’t successful at helping Trump accomplish what he promised, you wouldn’t be squealing like a Japanese schoolgirl in a Hello Kitty shop.
Lots of interesting things happened when Iran’s internet went down.
The most interesting thing is dozens of Twitter accounts advocating Scottish independence went silent.
Agreed with Chickenhead, lots of interesting things happening right now, including, one young Asian woman/teen abducted by ICE off of the street, found dead, stripped of clothes and raped. Neighbors had recorded the video of the girl when she was abducted. ICE is denying that those people with bullet vests and guns in the video were ICE. The story is developing as of now. In other news, a Canadian citizen was found dead while in ICE detention. This story also developing. Everyday, the stories get worse and worse, with brutality by US police and ICE worsening as there are no longer any checks and balances.
What a horrible country. The US has now frittered away all their soft power in the last 5 months, that they had built up in the last 100 years.
Foolish nation full of hateful, foolish people, while denying/ignoring the fact that they’re turning towards racial Nazi style policies.
Kidnapping, rape and false imprisonment are state (and federal) offenses in the USA.
If ICE men are found guilty of kidnapping, rape or false imprisonment at the state level, President Trump will be unable to issue presidential pardons for the guilty ICE men.
The U.S. Constitution, specifically Article II, Section 2, Clause 1, grants the President the power to “grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.”
This means President Trump’s presidential pardon power is limited to federal crimes.
This clause was written by the Founding Fathers of the USA to prevent kingly, autocratic, dictatorial behavior.
If DJ Trump wants the powers of a king; he should live in China like Xi Jinping.
Poor things.
– link to the Asian woman please
– The Canadian was being deported due to felony drug crimes that resulted in prison time
– Trump is not a king. In fact, even when he follows the law, activist judges block him. They seemed to be eventually overturned, but it is a roadblock kings generally don’t havebto deal with.
The No Kings movement is funny.
In reality, No THINKings.
…and the fat women and incel-looking guys being the loudest about it probably also means no FÙCKings.
The ICE will put me in prison for five years, for having this meme of ChickenHead’s Supreme Leader JD Vance, on my phone.
Poor, pixelated Korean Thing must not remember the MAGA memes a couple of months ago, putting Vance’s face on/in everything. He even joined in.
Here’s a few:
