South Korean President Lee Jae Myung pledged this week to go after “far-right” critics both at home and abroad, following his recent White House summit with President Trump. The move has raised alarm among U.S. officials over potential infringement on free expression and transnational repression tactics.

Lee met with Trump on Aug. 25 at the White House to discuss trade, defense, shipbuilding and other strategic issues. But tensions were visible — Lee stayed at a hotel instead of the traditional Blair House, was greeted by lower-level officials, and left without attending a formal state dinner.

    Look man it’s not that serious. SK bad, NK bad, Amerikkka bad, etc. Heirarchies bad. Sorry for making you out like a NK supporter. It’s Lemmy, I thought you were a tankie. Every time anyone throws a dig at SK they slide in with pro-NK content, but because they’re terminal larpers they usually lead with some cowardly shit like “He he yup, SK bad, right? Anyways, about NK, idk seems not as bad as the west makes it out to be…”

    Sorry I thought you were a tankie. If you’re not a tankie, I didn’t mean to get under your skin. Peace?
