As things currently stand, South Korea has operational control of its military under armistice conditions, but the United States would take over in wartime. This arrangement is unique to the U.S.-South Korea alliance. It is reflected in the structure of the Combined Forces Command—the alliance’s war-fighting command—which is headed by a U.S. four-star general while a South Korean four-star general serves as deputy commander.

quote:

South Korea’s presidential office and military procurement authorities have since been tight-lipped about what might be in that “very large purchase.” But local defense experts and industry sources tell Defense News that acquisition decisions will focus on airborne systems with a price tag reaching 10 trillion won (U.S. $8.8 billion) over the next five to six years.

“A key motive for U.S. weapons purchase is the planned transfer of wartime operational control from the U.S. military to the South Korean armed forces,” said Shin Jong-woo, a senior analyst at the Seoul-based Korea Defense and Security Forum think tank. “What we need now to lead wartime operations in the years ahead is to get more and better airborne weapons systems, which would be preferential purchasing items.”

this quirk is exactly the same as a full military occupation. Keep on going though because I know you are about to launch into a tirade about how North Korea has literally done nothing wrong or whatever.

I disagree, NUMBER always cares about unemployment. Whenever a company announces firing many people its stock goes up.

Corporate types and other rich people have fully internalized the idea that an employee is cost. They've internalized it so much it completely overrode the idea that employees do things (also maybe because they never do anything themselves). The ideal company has zero employees. Wait, what do you mean it's not doing anything? But you've cut all the employees, how are you not making way more money?

Seriously. I've seen this exact cycle so many times with so many companies. Company is in trouble -> let's fire people! -> woo, we solved the problem, stocks way up! -> wait what do you mean revenue is down? -> let's fire more people, that will solve the problem! -> stocks up -> repeat until once profitable company is fully run into the ground

yeah what's a light saber gonna do against a conventional round? make it so the jedi gets hit with a supersonic lump of molten lead? probably not a better outcome there

Slugthrowers were surprisingly useful against lightsabers, as when a slug made contact with a blade, it simply melted instead of being deflected like a blaster bolt. These melted embers could then fly toward the face or hands of the lightsaber user, and harm them if they were not careful

Hmm so its spared Yemen which has no functional government due to civil war, Western Sahara whose government's in exile, Turkmenistan where even mentioning Coronavirus is public will get you put in prison, Malawi whose health minister has admitted it has literally zero test kits and North Korea which publicly shot a man who violated quarantine for completely unrelated reasons I'm sure.
