Yoon’s Coup Attempt Shows Sad State of Civil-Military Relations The legacy of South Korea’s military dictatorship is stronger than it seems.

My latest op-ed has just been published in Foreign Policy, where I argue that, as shocking as it may seem, South Korea's martial law has always been a possibility due to its troubled civil-military relations. foreignpolicy.com/2024/12/06/s...

Article 77(5) of the Korean Constitution allows for the cancellation of martial law if half of the members of the National Assembly demand it.

Tonight there will be a Blue Supermoon at 9:35 ET

The moon will appear about 8% larger than a normal full moon and 15% brighter than a normal full moon.

The next one won't be until January 2037. Keep any eye out tonight!
