South Korea’s Martial Law Fiasco: Legitimation Crisis in the Imperial Vassal State 韓國戒嚴法慘敗：帝國附庸國的合法性危機 by KJ NOH

This failed coup constitutes a legitimacy crisis in one of the US’s most important vassal states, one of an ongoing stream of ongoing crises for the US Empire among its vassals. Touted as one of the most important leaders and partners in promoting (US-designated) democracy in a “global fight against autocracies”–Kurt Campbell even nominated for a Nobel Prize–Yoon has shown himself to be a crackpot US-client despot, like generations of tinpot dictators before him.

Yoon’s star was in favor only because he was a pliant executor of US geostrategic strategy–greasing US plans for war against China–in the high stakes agenda to maintain US global hegemony. In fact, without deep US support, it’s unlikely that such a profound political dunce–someone who had never held an elected office in his life–would have become president. Certainly, he received dramatic pre-election support from the US ruling imperial elite, for whom he was a walking fulfillment list.   When he was elected, the champagne corks blew up in Washington.

By reverting to full barbarian-authoritarian-mode, the mask has fallen off this imperial clown show of US propaganda…

這次失敗的政變對美國最重要的附庸國之一構成了合法性危機，也是美帝國在其附庸國中持續存在的一系列危機之一。尹被吹捧為「全球反獨裁鬥爭」中促進（美國指定的）民主的最重要領導人和合作夥伴之一——庫爾特·坎貝爾甚至獲得了諾貝爾獎提名——尹已經證明自己是一個瘋狂的美國附庸暴君，例如在他之前的幾代錫鍋獨裁者。

尹恩惠的明星之所以受到青睞，只是因為他是美國地緣戰略戰略的順從執行者——為美國對華戰爭計劃提供支持——在維持美國全球霸權的高風險議程中。事實上，如果沒有美國的大力支持，這樣一位政治上的大傻瓜, 一個一生中從未擔任過民選公職的人不太可能成為總統。當然，他在選舉前得到了美國統治帝國精英的大力支持，對他們來說，他是一個活生生的成就清單。 當他當選時，華盛頓的香檳瓶塞爆炸了。

透過恢復到完全野蠻獨裁模式，美國宣傳的帝國小丑表演的面具已經脫落…
