The plot twist is that, during a post-vote presser, Kim reveals that, and I am summarizing, "I am a conservative and will vote the party line", which is to oppose impeachment. He added that he doesn't support boycotting the vote.

Impeachment in 🇰🇷 requires: - one-third of members to support proposal - two-thirds to approve - constitutional court ruling within 180 days FWIW the opposition currently has 192/300 seats. DPP alone has 170.

It will be interesting to see how elite opinion shifts after Trump returns. The China hawk picks for State and NatSec Advisor may reassure a bit because they are likely to be pro-alliance. But who knows how much influence they will have over US-ROK alliance…

Well, here I am. Hopefully this will be less addictive but more productive than Twitter, but also more funny too. Seems like an impossible combination…
