PDB Situation Report | March 8th, 2025: Trump’s Ultimatum to Hamas & China’s War Warning

By far, by far. They're well ahead of South Korea, which I think is in second place. But China makes something, and correct me if I'm wrong, something like over 50% of the world's ships.

That I don't know, Mike. But if you said 15th, I would say that's really high. Would have been, my guess, even lower than that. But one other thing. South Korea, which is a US treaty ally, is going through a political crisis. And it's not inconceivable that within three months, they could have basically a communist as president. This is really serious stuff.

It's really high. About a month or two ago, it would have been close to 90%. Fortunately, things are moving in a much better direction. What happened is President Yun Suk-yeol, a conservative-leaning figure, declared martial law on December 3. He was impeached by the National Assembly on, I think, the 14th.

The constitutional court decides this month and maybe in the next week whether to remove him or not. If he's removed, there's 60 days for another election. Now, Yoon was really unpopular even before martial law. He had an approval rating below 20%. Now, because the leftists have overreached, his approval rating is at least in the 40s and in some polls over 50%.

So even if he is removed, there's a real possibility that another conservative could be elected. But we know the leftists control the electoral, the National Election Commission. They've been rigging elections since at least 2020, which means no matter what the South Korean people, how they vote, is probably going to get a leftist as a president.

And the leftist candidate is pro-China, pro-North Korea. He might even be a communist himself. If he's not, he's very close to it. This is really, really very dangerous for us.
