Ex-South Korean President Yoon gets 30 years for drone false flag
Remember that wild six-hour martial law stunt in South Korea? Turns out the backstory is even more insane than a Netflix political thriller.
So, former President Yoon Suk Yeol is already serving a life sentence for insurrection. But a court just tacked on another 30 years because of how he tried to set up the whole situation in the first place.
The master plan? He literally sent military drones into North Korea to drop propaganda leaflets, hoping Pyongyang would freak out. He wanted to spark a border crisis so he could point at it and say, "Look, national emergency!" and justify declaring martial law to protect his own political interests.
His former defense minister, Kim Yong-hyun, also got 30 years for playing along. They basically used the actual military as a personal PR stunt, risking a literal war and exposing their own defense capabilities just to keep Yoon in office.
Risking a nuclear escalation just to bypass parliament has to be the most extreme case of "this meeting could have been an email" in human history.
