In case you're worried North Korea doesn't have the heavy lift capacity to invade the west coast of the US.

They don't have the heavy lift capacity to invade the west coast of North Korea.

No it's just the godamn EMP satellite from Homefront stubbornly looping in my head.

You may note that Homefront is a video game, and not real life.

Park just announced she is going to "allow Parliament to decide her fate", aka step down rather than being impeached.

Does this mean an early election or a caretaker president until the scheduled one? Also, what will this mean for the election? I know Park herself won an election to succeed an incredibly unpopular president from her own party so I can't tell if this matters when she's out of the picture.

 We could talk about South Korea! What with their new president, and the Ministry of Defense installing more THAAD in secret and not telling him.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in has ordered a probe after his Defence Ministry failed to inform him that four more launchers for the controversial U.S. THAAD anti-missile system had been brought into the country, his spokesman said on Tuesday.

The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system battery was initially deployed in March in the southeastern region of Seongju with just two of its maximum load of six launchers to counter a growing North Korean missile threat.

During his successful campaign for the May 9 presidential election, Moon called for a parliamentary review of the system, the deployment of which infuriated China, North Korea's lone major ally.

"President Moon said it was very shocking" to hear the four additional launchers had been installed without being reported to the new government or to the public, presidential spokesman Yoon Young-chan told a media briefing.

1. Apparently she's on death's door.
2. Korean justice seems to be reaaaaaaaaaally subjective and unkarmic.

putting her in jail for multiple years in the first place is more than you can say for most other countries tbh. is lee myung-bak still in jail?
