Let's stop denying the obvious: #Korea #Philippines #Japan are being used for proxy wars; and are sandwiched between these two extreme end powers. It can turn into an Axis of Evil vs Allied military war. And who'll suffer? Us: #Koreans, #Filipinos, and #Japanese.

A pet peeve is western tourists in #Japan who can't tell the difference between #Taiwanese and #Chinese and keep assuming everyone (sometimes #Koreans too!) are the latter.

SEOUL, South Korea – “Unless these two are smiling and happy to go back to North Korea or #Russia, we #Koreans would not be happy [for them to be exchanged],” the retired military officer told me. “You better tell them. You can quote me.”

Unfortunately, #Labour are having to prioritise. Whilst the middle Eastern issues of genocide, war crimes & apartheid are crucial to many, the party will be judged on the economy, cost of living, the #NHS & its waiting lists, housing, education, public transport, the welfare state, national security & defence.

Labour will respond appropriately to the middle east situation, but has other pressing matters with #Russia & N. #Koreans invading #Europe.

That's the reality mate. 🤷🏾‍♂️

#Koreans showing the world how #democracy is done: 👏

"Members of South #Korean President #Yoon Suk-yeol's own People Power Party said he posed a "significant risk" to citizens & called for his powers to be frozen."

"Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in Seoul calling for Yoon to resign."

"Members of one of the country's biggest labour groups, the Metal Worker's Union, have begun hourly strikes, pledging indefinite strikes should Yoon remain in power."

#Yoon (president os South Korea) declares
emergency #martial #law
((to protect the south from North Korea)
now... (this is my personal opinion)
this is BS
Yoon is a right wing minime Trump and uses the #North #Koreans as an excuse
exactly like #Trump does with #Mexicans
North Koreans live in an Jail nation
(they already live badly enough without outside help)
it is simply a move to take an Authoritarian position to hinder the opposing (Democratic) parties
I hope the South Koreans will stop him

"Oct 18, 2024
North Koreans go to war against Ukriane! In this exclusive video you can witness supposedly Russian far east training base and many North Korean soldiers getting disguised as Russian regular military. Is this escalation or not?"

@Blf_tpe Indeed! Especially #Koreans and #Japanese - the relationship between them has really improved in the past ~5 years. Koreans alone were 30-40% of inbound tourists in March (Asian countries were 8 of the top 10).

Asian tourists also travel to more parts of #Japan, while westerners mostly go to the same 4-5 places.
