If I understand The Diplomat’s account correctly the South Korean politicians are modeling the posture that could contribute to the further exposure of the discord at the ‘High Table’.
With the entry of North Korean troops into the Ukraine, if the South Korean Democrats lose their play it could even lead to Zelensky fleeing to whoever would take him; which might have to be a neutral to avoid exposing the obvious skid marks that would be embarrassing to his former criminal political partners governments.
That is, UNless the high table works out a deal that keeps Zelensky in power until Biden and Netanyahu exit the scene.
One thing that takes this South Korean parlay to a higher level for Lee is his daddy can’t cover for him if things don’t go his way.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Jae-myung
In March 2023, Lee was indicted on bribery, corruption, breach of trust and conflict of interests charges. He was accused of colliding with a group of private property developers when he was mayor of Seongnam, to help them make more than 800 billion won from the project, whilst simultaneously inflicting enormous losses of nearly 490 million won on the city. He was also accused of receiving or demanding more than 18 billion won from four companies in bribes to fund a football club in the city, in return for favours in his capacity as the Mayor. Lee said the indictment was “not surprising at all” and denied the accusations. He claimed the investigation was politically motivated and led by the Yoon Administration to take down a political opponent.[43][44]
In September 2023, Seoul prosecutors sought another motion to arrest Lee on corruption charges for giving special favours to a land developer in the Baekhyeon-dong neighbourhood and sending 8 million dollars to North Korea through the Ssangbangwool Group. On 21 September, the Democratic-majority National Assembly approved the motion, with a 149–136 vote, with dozens of his own party members voting to arrest him.[45] On that day, Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon issued an arrest warrant for Lee, marking a historic first, as the motion passed during a heated plenary session with 136 lawmakers opposing it.[46][47] He was released after the Seoul Central District Court rejected the arrest warrant on 27 September.[48]
In June 2024, Lee was indicted again, on bribery charges in an alleged scheme to transfer funds to North Korea and facilitate a visit to Pyongyang. He was accused of asking an underwear company to illegally transfer $8 million to North Korea between 2019 and 2020, during his tenure as governor of Gyeonggi Province, to facilitate a visit. Lee denied the charges.[49][50]
Then again stranger things have rolled off the high table in the past…
