Escalating Tensions on the Korean Peninsula

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring back our comrade Ju-Hyun Park (whom you will remember from our recent episode  A History of American Imperialism in Korea) to discuss all the latest in South Korea, with the recent martial law/coup attempt, impeachment, attempts to restart a hot phase of the Korean War, and more as topics of discussion.  This is not only an extremely important dispatch, but also a dynamic situation with new information coming out all the time, so be sure to listen to this conversation to get grounded in what happened so that you can better make sense out of new developments in the situation.   Be sure to read Ju-Hyun's recent pieces related to this discussion, South Korea’s impeachment fails—what’s next?, and Was South Korea’s coup an attempt to restart the Korean War?, and also be sure to check out usoutofkorea.org!   Ju-Hyun Park is a writer and activist with Nodutdol for Korean Community Development.  Their writing has appeared in a variety of outlets, and they can be followed on Twitter @hermit_hwarang.
