Potentially - a majority of South Korean MPs voted to block martial law and under their constitution, that means it can't happen according to a Guardian summary.

 

Still, makes ya think what the hell's going on there for the President to go mental in such a way.

apparently he's been accusing opposition of being in cahoots with N Korea recently, and there's been a bunch of other stuff going on...strikes etc. But yeah, does seem a bit extreme so have to see what comes out.

Makes a nice change from Trump, Ukraine or the middle f**king east.

Was a bit weird logging into the Guardian homepage yesterday to have Gregg Wallace as the top story followed by the South Korean debacle. Admittedly this was just after the declaration and the crisis had yet to really take off.

[steviewevie]

Oui ou non?

BET NOW!

[steviewevie]

France going to go all red-brown just to put the boot into the weird centrist and further f**k a f**ked french economy? 

Oui I reckon.

[steviewevie]

 

[steviewevie]

C'est non!

Ohh la la.

[charlierc]

Well, it was suggested this was likely.

 

Makes that snap election of Macron's last summer look like an even worse idea than it was at the time.

[steviewevie]

wow

Time could be up for that massive c**t Assad.

[steviewevie]

Assad's grip on Syria almost completely gone...rebels heading for Damascus now. If he is defeated and loses power god knows what comes next...could be pretty chaotic.

Assad has gone, either fled or dead. Amazing how quickly this all happened, I guess without support from Russia or Hezbollah it was always a matter of time.

Israel trying to f**k things up.

On the contrary, they're destroying Syria's stocks of chemical and other weapons that could be used catastrophically if they got into the wrong hands.

And making more enemies of whoever takes over.

The middle east has always been a tough neighbourhood with no shortage of natural enemies for Israel.  At times like these it doesn't hurt to remind whoever takes over not to f**k with them.

Ok...just it's a perilous time for Syria...the region needs a stable outcome...and Israel wading in definitely is not going to help with that.

[GhostOfMaurice]

Yeah, it'd be better for Israel just to leave all of the deadly weapons for ❓❓❓❓ to get hold of. 

 

Keeping in mind the latest BBC news headline is: Syrian rebels to name Assad officials wanted for torture as fighters say 40 bodies found 🤔

Maybe someone should destroy all of Israel's weapons because they seem to be using them against their neighbours the most.

Well if they did that, Israel would cease to exist.

 

Given nearly half of all Jews live there, think carefully before suggesting that would be a good thing.

I mean this is always used an excuse...kill them before they kill us etc...but maybe they've pushed that a bit far recently....
