All right, Alexander, let's talk about what happened in South Korea, martial law from President

0:07.0

Yun.

0:08.0

Then he took back the martial law after the parliament voted against the martial law.

0:15.0

And now he is being called on to resign.

0:19.0

The question that I have is why did he do this? What caused him to

0:23.9

announce martial law, to the surprise of everybody? No one expected this. He's very unpopular.

So there's an interesting Ukraine twist, I believe, to this story.

1:37.4

And of course, we have the North Korean troops in Russia, right?

1:42.5

The narrative of North Korean troops in Russia, which the administration of Yun has played a big part in propagating, which is also interesting.
