I only started looking at the WI primary a few days ago which is a pity because I could have had some proper Korean Am hate against Francesca Hong.

The reports out of the Lincoln this past week from the families were bleak already. This is particularly dark

Over on the other site, there is a multi-day rage about how it's racist for Koreans to use sunscreen. I swear I'm not making this up.

The Europoor Ugly American discourse is trying its damn best to look away from the fact that East Asia is richer than Europe, has better trains than US, and has air conditioning everywhere.

As horrifying as this campaign of premeditated murder is, what might be even more disturbing is the utter indifference of Congress, the public and our allies to such a shocking and unapologetic obliteration of the many laws and norms against targeting civilians. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/w...

The U.S. Boat Strike Campaign Has Now Killed Over 200 People

Over on the other site, second gen Asian Ams are having days-long freakout about an ice cream flavor that's supposed to be Filipino and all I gotta say is, these people really gotta stop being so fucking weird.

My contribution to this insane asylum of a discourse is that Asian countries have very cheap delivery food in large part because density makes delivery cheaper. Build more high rise condos and you can get your food delivered much cheaper.

Samsung Electronics' 2028 operating profit is projected to be significantly greater than the operating profit of the top 100 listed companies of Japan combined. Korea is richer than Japan. By a lot. Korea won the race and it's not close.

For an East Asia-focused person, it seems completely insane to me that any US ally would command this much attention from not just US govt, but US society writ large, such that if you're to be considered a well-informed person you're supposed to have a position on the ally's internal politics.

Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!" The crowd chants: "To prison! To prison!" [with the corrupt officials of the outgoing government]

Every election post tonight is like "Wow the Democrats won the mayoralty in Racismville. Trump didn't just win Racismville but all of Klan-Guntruck County by 42."

This is a regular reminder that Israel is not a treaty ally of the United States and we can walk away from them much more easily than we can from treaty allies like South Korea and Japan.

How do people not remember that the point of having NATO with US was to keep the European military weak?

Be the American that the Iranian Foreign Ministry thinks you are.

The United States is made pathetic.

President Trump appears to have had his request for help in the Strait of Hormuz — and perhaps other requests he made — rejected by some of the United States’ strongest allies. “Most of NATO” Australia Japan South Korea

People are excited about K Pop Demon Hunters winning Oscars but every Bugonia win is also a Korean win.

Is it normal for the president of the United States to pathetically plead for the nations of the world to come bail him out of the disaster he created entirely on his own? Trump two weeks ago: woooooo!!! America!!! yeah!!! Trump today: hopefully China, France, Japan, others will be sending ships..

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5mo ago

in a single sentence Trump claims Iran's military is "destroyed 100%" but also admits "it's easy for them to send a drone or two" 🙃

During Trump I, S Korea got fucked up by China for deploying THAAD while the US stood pat oblivious. During Trump II, the THAAD got moved to the Middle East for a war that serves less than zero strategic purpose for US. Is it a surprise that more people are asking what the point of the alliance is?

Doubly this. US hegemony depends on the ability to underwrite the security of its allies. Job number one of this underwriting is to avoid insolvency. Israel is a bad debtor who should have been dropped long time ago. Failure to do so is pushing US closer to insolvency.

TK - The Korean@tkthekorean.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Still shaking my head over the dumbass Foreign Affairs article that suggests dropping S Korea as an ally because it may embroil US into an unnecessary war. WE ARE HAVING AN UNNECESSARY WAR RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF A SUPPOSED ALLY WHO'S WORTHLESS YOU FUCKING MORON

What a time to be alive

Wars break out in the periphery. The center may get tense, but rarely break out into a war. The part of the world that is not involved on this war at all is the center of the world right now. In a roundabout way, we are truly entering the Asian century.

Alliance audit is a good idea in principle, but few want to admit that if we were serious about such an audit, Israel would be the first US ally that should be dropped.

If FIFA did, for some reason, regularly give out a Peace Prize, you’d think #1 on the list of criteria for potential winners would be “do not start a war with another nation in the World Cup, directly before the start of the World Cup”

Iran has two FIFA World Cup matches in LA and one in Seattle. The first is 107 days from now.

Here's the thing. I'm a big fan of organ meats, but American organ meats are fucking terrible because the cattle are not raised for organ meat consumption. I eat raw cow liver in Korea. I would never do it in the US.

FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 6mo ago

RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef: "Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver or the cheap cuts."

I'm yet to see DC blob generalist to say anything something unstupid about Korea. I don't even expect smart, all I want is unstupid and I'm yet to see it. It's mind-blowing how this could be.
