SKorea Allegedly Sent Drones to Provoke North in Martial Law Bid
According to an internal military document, 59 South Korean soldiers were mobilized to send 18 drones over North Korea in late 2024. The alleged goal? To provoke the North and justify a martial law bid by former President Yoon Suk Yeol. This playbook isn't new; governments frequently orchestrate 'threats' to consolidate power, divert attention from domestic issues, or justify aggressive policies.
One might recall the deceptive 'Tonkin Gulf incident' that escalated the Vietnam War or similar manufactured crises. The lack of transparency and exclusion of US or UN Command officials raises serious questions about accountability and potential rogue elements within the South Korean military. When 'national security' becomes a whispered excuse for domestic political maneuvering, it's not
security, but a slide into authoritarianism. Who benefits from such manufactured chaos, and at what cost to regional stability?
