Tariffs, Chinese soldiers in Ukraine and South Korean elections! This has been one of those weeks where an unpleasant amount of history happens... Check out my summary below! open.substack.com/pub/tamullis...

South Korea's president Yoon Suk-yeol has been removed from office. This is a victory for democracy and the rule of law, you can't attempt a coup and expect to stay in office. He's likely to continue the unfortunate tradition among South Korean presidents of going to prison after his term.
