Ex-defense chief in South Korea tried to kill himself after being arrested over martial law case

Good, arrest Yoon now, he committed treason!

New reports that Kim Yong Hyun has attempted suicide (and failed).

South Korea’s detained ex-defence minister attempts suicide: official - South China Morning Post

This guy tends to fail a lot.

Kim lacking self-awareness and empathy is the yes-man type that always rises in the ranks of the political class. Democracies need a better system to vet these types and block their ascendence in the bureaucracy that poses an ever-present menace and threat to our freedoms. 2025 will be a severe stress-test for the content of the character of those who rule over us.

There is clearly much to cover up. Suicide is bad. Yoon needs to go. Uncle Sam is mum.

I predicted the suicide( attempt) here. Bit surprised they did not let Kim proceed with it.

yoon must indeed be arrested for treason. That he is not shows the vulnerability of South Korea. Now a paralysed nation. If Kim, North Korea, had any real invasion plans they would have been in Seoul by now. I never believed he and his father have such plans. They have been successfully playing the West for 5 decades and are content with this situation. Blowing hot and cold and getting compensations from anyone at any given time( South Korea, Us, China, Russia…)

the North Korean Kim family is one of the best diplomats in the world.

Yoon apparently wants to cling to power for as long as he can, to the detriment of the nation and its people.

Yoon wants to fight impeachment, not resign
