It is almost as if someone decided to flip a switch and now vast hordes of people are going completely nuts.  Unfortunately, I think that this is just the beginning, because I am convinced that civil unrest will be a major theme in 2025.

On Tuesday, the entire world was shocked by footage of crazed protesters clashing with riot police just outside of the National Assembly in South Korea…

Shocking images showing dozens of riot cops and armed police officers pushing back enraged rioters outside the National Assembly shortly after Yoon's address was broadcast to the nation.

Meanwhile, news cameras captured the moment helicopters descended from the evening skies and landed on top of the parliament building before troops disembarked and began locking down the location.

Other footage and pictures later showed heavily armed soldiers in tactical equipment stalking through the hallways of the National Assembly. Parliamentary aides were seen trying to push the soldiers back by spraying fire extinguishers.

The president of Sorth Korea imposed martial law in a desperate attempt to quell the unrest, but he was forced to end it after just six hours…

Martial law was enacted in South Korea for just six hours, prompting widespread outrage after the President cited 'threats' from North Korea.

President Yoon Suk Yeol issued the order in a television address, vowing eliminate 'anti-state' forces as he suspended parliament, banned political gatherings and ordered the end of a long-running doctors' strike.
