South Korean investigators arrested President Yoon Suk Yeol on Wednesday after launching a pre-dawn operation to bring the impeached leader in for questioning over his short-lived martial law declaration.

The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials had been looking to bring Yoon into custody after the president repeatedly defied summons to appear for questioning. CIO investigators abandoned their first attempt to arrest him on Jan. 3 after a nearly six-hour standoff due to resistance from Yoon’s security team.

Wednesday’s arrest, confirmed by the CIO, makes Yoon the first incumbent president in the country’s history to be taken into custody.

Didn’t martial law get declared to try and circumvent an impeachment?

Oops.

Nobody does. It has to be one of the biggest screwups in coup history.

World leaders are getting really bold and basically thumbing their noses at the common rabble. I'm not extremely knowledgeable of this particular instance, but look at what's going on in Venezuela, Romania, SoKo, etc. and it becomes a pattern.

Then, you look at Castro Jr. stepping down in Canada, and the Dims seemingly rolling over to allow Trump to destroy them after nine years of exorbitant daily histrionics, and it's disconcerting to say the least.

I'll keep saying it because a lot of it really doesn't make sense. Something is afud.
