Retired Colonel John Mills, widely published on national security and strategic issues, warns that the imminent election in South Korea may result in that country becoming aligned with Communist China.
Many Americans, even those with South Korean heritage and/or experience, are very muddled and confused about what is going on in South Korea. Some who think they have knowledge are under the impression that the trouble in South Korea is being fomented by North Koreans. This frame of reference is considerably out of date and in need of updating. Our U.S. Military, Intelligence, and Diplomatic leaders in Korea have been oblivious at best, complicit at worst on this Communist take over. Brazil 2.0 is in progress with the apparent wink and nod of the acting U.S. Ambassador.
The South Korean Democrat Party (KDP) created a partnership with Communist China years ago to topple South Korean society, absorb North Korea, and become the chief Asian ally of Communist China. The leader of the KDP is Lee Jae-myung. Lee is a hardened, left-leaning politician who describes America as an occupying force and the Chinese and Russians as liberating forces.
This might seem like routine and meaningless hyperbole for an American leftist. In South Korea, use of such terms is incendiary and are fighting words. These are matters the bought-off, corrupt, mainstream media in South Korea and America routinely fail to report.
Since 2017, the KDP has grown in strength and continued to win elections despite what the public sentiment appeared to be. It started with the May 2017 elections in the wake of the impeachment and removal of a previous President, Park Geun-hye, of the Grand National Party, the pre-existing conservative Party. There were valid issues about Park, but her circumstances were also leveraged to call for Presidential Elections, which the KDP won after the episode with Park.
The KDP has grown in strength in the National Assembly and a corrupt leftist, Moon Jae-in won the 2017 Presidential election and soon eliminated 100s of Military and Intelligence officials and dismantled the Intelligence Agency’s ability to defend against North Korea and China to consolidate his power and strengthen his ties with China. The elections in 2017 and 2020 were replete with fraud issues. The Korean National Election Commission (NEC) and the Association of World Election Bureaus (A-Web) have the USAID Logo on their websites which now explains much of what the NEC and A-Web were really up to and who has been paying them.
The situation is ominous in South Korea. There has now been a call up of 160,000 special police on June 3 to maintain national order – which is starting to look like the official closing of the Iron Curtain around South Korea, while America slept. Many Koreans are fearful of being arrested by Lee after the June 3 Election – they have no island to go to like the Chinese Nationalists, only to America.
Hopefully we will not be debating, “Who lost South Korea?” on June 4th.

I have no idea whether or not the rumors reported by Col. Mills are true, but the recent conflict between the (now-deposed) President and elected representatives seems to have undermined a great deal of trust between politicians, people, and the armed forces. I won't be at all surprised if China is seeking to capitalize on that, and perhaps even foment and aggravate it. (The USA has done the same thing in other nations, particularly in South America, in the past. It's not as if we have clean hands, but then, no major power does: Britain, France, the former USSR, and others have all done likewise.)
Can anyone with inside knowledge of the situation in South Korea tell us more? If so, please leave a comment with whatever information you can provide. Thanks!

Politics in South Korea - are Korean. I was told by a Korean once that Korean people are like an egg. Brittle on the outside and soft on the inside. I've found that to be true. I don't see a combining of the rampant Capitalist South and any brand of communism. It's simply not in the DNA.
Ask yourself: Which two countries build the most of the worlds ships? And who is number 3?
Concur with LL. They DO have certain foibles that are unique to them.
We're not the only country that can create color revolutions, meddle in elections, and foment unrest.
Once again all the people here think that Koreans are just like us but speak a different language. They are nothing at all like that. They are very very committed though and once they make a decision they will go with it. I think the new leadership will start to demand that America leave and this time I cannot see any reason to challenge that. It is their country. When this reaches the boiling point the silent majority will be heard from.
The 100,000 special police are ALWAYS there. They may have been fewer on the streets but the choice to young men is join the Army for 2 years or the special police for 3 or at least that was the way it was in1994 and many years/visits later. They sit in buses in out of the way places in Seoul and wait for the college kids to riot and then, there they are!
This is why the US needs to be self-sufficient in as many ways possible. There are NO allies that we can depend on indefinitely. The rest of the world deserves the freedom to make their own mistakes, and we need to be able to react in ways that buffer us from those mistakes. If South Korea wants to commit political suicide, we should gracefully bow out and let them. It's their country, their lives.
You'd think after the first time they were a vassal state to China they;d want to avoid becoming one again.
They are the most nationalist people I have ever met.
