In a week that saw French right-wing leader Marine Le Pen banned from running for office, the South Korean Constitutional Court’s ouster of President Yoon Suk Yeol from office on Friday has critics looking towards Beijing’s hand in efforts to remove the leader from power.
“Yoon’s foreign and security policies stand in stark contrast to the pro-China figures long supported and controlled by the [Chinese Communist Party (CCP)],” Anna Mahjar-Barducci, Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) project director, told Fox News Digital. She explained that those policies “posed a threat to Beijing’s long-term strategy of cultivating a pro-China faction in South Korea,”
Mahjar-Barducci claimed the CCP has used “overt economic cooperation, political donations, covert benefit transfers and even illegal sexual bribery” to cultivate “certain South Korean political figures over time, aiming to undermine the U.S.-South Korea alliance, weaken South Korea’s strategic independence and expand its regional influence at the expense of the U.S.”
Trump’s tariff moves are designed to boost America’s ‘Main Street’ economy by increasing domestic manufacturing, workers wages, and good-paying jobs. The stock market will boom again after companies and nations make adjustments to the new paradigm. USA must do this because we have an unsupportable debt crisis that is very real. ABN
Never been a fan of Rubio, but if he keeps this up, does not stab Trump in the back and really believes 85% or more of what he is saying, he is presidential material. I am above all a pragmatist. If Rubio stands by his words and continues the pragmatic game in play today, I will support him in 2028, among other possibilities. Politics should be without emotion. It’s fundamentally based on action and, often, dark and hidden exigencies it is impossible for us to know; that’s the realism part of pragmatics. Even political leaders do not and can not know everything. We the people can generally figure out about 80% of what is going on, as has been demonstrated over the years by conspiracy theorists. Rubio has an unsavory past, imo, but if he can change his actions, we can change and support him. ABN
