I am wondering if those Jai Hinds would be so proud of their CEOs if they started getting shot like the healthcare guy.

If Yoon steps down now, the opposition will for sure win the follow-up election (in 60 days after the resignation or impeachment). He will then be on his way to jail. If he can hang onto the presidency, how powerlessly he will be, that title will at least give him some immunity so he can count on that there will be new events distracting the attention of the public away from him. Being a lame duck is way better than being dead.What good is Yoon hanging onto power by himself when everyone else is bailing out

The ruling party also doesn't want to have an election this soon. So both Yoon and the ruling party have common ground to share at this point.
Honestly wonder how long he will last and if the USA can bail him out like they normally did in Ukraine and Israel as of recently. Then again even their protect in this day and age is rapidly becoming more and more uncertain given how degraded they have become. Hence I reckon his chances of survival isn’t going to all that certain unless he boards a plane right now. He’s like the local version of Johnny Somali only that his crime as even worse and the whole nation is enraged. Being a direct pawn of the USA doesn’t really pay off well, I mean look at Zelensky and possibly sooner or later Netanyahu, all these people will eventually go out as hated people whose end will benefit the nation moreMany people who forget how power really works in Asian countries: the dragon robe doesn't give power to the emperor, the emperor gives power to the dragon robe. A powerless emperor's robe doesn't mean anything as all the emperors that got puppeted by their ministers and eunuch found out.
Yoon was never the boss. He made the classical mistake of thinking the robe gave him power.
That's the interesting part with the latest sanctions, it extended ban to third parties, which is implicitly a ban on export to all US allied countries. After all how can anyone in Japan or SK prove they won't send the gallium to Americans occupying their country.No they wont. It is easier to smuggle from third party than make it. So all it does is making military use more expensive than stop it altogether.
If China is serious, like in a war time scenario. They would ban all export of rare earth. Then you will see US actually run out.
