Moon might as well be. He has done very well in the pendemic IMO.

the big talking point lately is that at thirty five percent approval ratings in his final year moon is actually the most popular south korean president of all time a very technically correct sort of assertion which people are interpreting less as meaning that moon is actually good and more as meaning that this countrys politics are a dumpster fire and only an idiot would get emotionally invested in them

it baffles me that hes pointing this out despite otherwise being a big cheerleader of the moon biden summit because the only reason this talking point ever existed was to inflate the apparent importance of the summit and thats exactly how its being used now

oh god i finally figured out why the liberals are expecting people to be impressed by the increase in the missile limit

https://mobile.twitter.com/AskAKorean/status/1397908939686154245

they think theyre owning the tankies because if south korea has more missiles they cant be an american colony

it has not occurred to them that the only possible reason south korea could have to want more missiles is to pick a fight with china which isnt actually in the interest of anyone aside from the united states

This point of view is true in some way though, because China doesn't worry about SK developed and controlled missile pointing at China, China worry about US controlled missiles and radar system inside SK. So the SK left doesn't lose any favor with Beijing.

It's also a big get for limited amount of consession Korea give up (building more Samsung fab in the US without promising to cut down on the Samsung fab in China)

You should see the amount of diplomatic return Taiwan got for TSMC promising to build more fab in the US, literally nothing.

Originally it was going to turn the NSF into a siphon for 100b of start up money but i think it ended up around 20-30 billion of actual new spending.

To be honest most of that money would have been blown on Palantir or whatever.

the skillset required to build saturn Vs engines as they were in 1960s doesn't exist anymore in the USA. there's an overhauled design that'd make them simpler and cheaper to build, but someone has to fund it, and why fund nasa when you can give money to elong&benzos instead??

The thing is that they actually built a modern and extremely expensive equivalent to the Saturn V, the SLS. All these contacts they are handing out are suppose to “save money” by hauling mostly cargo.

One way to stave off falling profits is just to live off the government.

We basically don't make anything other than weapons and software to profile colored people.

people actually would be impressed if the liberals or anyone else renegotiated the current framework so that south korea doesnt need permission from the united states to make mundane changes to its military but thats rather pointedly not what moon did at the summit he explicitly validated the current system
