  • i haven’t seen it but i’ve seen it mentioned too. these are training rifles that use ammunition incompatible with normal 5.56 (simunition), they also had no ammo in sidearms and someone spotted blue (training) magazine. This is not something you can do on accident, they must have been specifically ordered so

    Such law makes sense considering SK recent-ish history

    from what i understand there was only one small unit slightly loyal to president, that one that was sent (+ MP, + regular police), and even they called quits pretty much immediately (and lost NVG, that’s a beating). looks like they did bare minimum so that they can’t be prosecuted and left just after the vote. defense minister was already dismissed so in retrospect they could slack even harder. 707th (that unit) blocked representatives but police let them in








  • I really don’t know what was he thinking, looks like army did the bare legal minimum so that they won’t be prosecuted for refusing orders. There’s a couple of things that can be done with minimal number of loyalists that would make coup easier that weren’t done, like cutting power to parliament. This makes me guess that military didn’t want a part in this at all

    I’ve seen a take that this was an attempt to get entrenched in power before trump admin begins, as in for foreign relations purposes, but like, it’s pretty clear that a couple of people from his family and trusted party people were under investigation so him trying to not allow that sounds more likely. Now that won’t work because as far as i understand by the end of the week there will be impeachment vote
