What's the odds the US gives asylum to Yoon? Death penalty seems a bit extreme.

  Well, South Korea hasn't executed anyone for 20+ years, so death penalty is more or less symbolic here.
  Also, Yoon is very unpopular, and he's a moron, so he has zero use for America even if he somehow magically teleported there. Besides, Trump somehow seems rather infatuated with SK's current president Lee, after he was gifted a golden crown, so I don't think Trump would want to piss off Lee for some useless dude - he probably doesn't even remember who is Yoon.

  If trying to overthrow a democratic govt doesn't deserve the death penalty, nothing does (which is a reasonable position to have)

  Americans have been trained to view a descent into fascism as a topic that cable news people argue about, but it's actually quite serious!

South Korea really loves their drama, the previous President was under the spell of a cult leader and 300 people (mostly children) were likely intentionally drowned in a ferry "accident".
