De-platforming was always going to be a bad idea - once accepted as a technique, it will be of course be used by all sides, especially in what is perceived to be an existential zero sum conflict. Be interesting whether Kimmel re-emerges on

Thing is, nothing Korea can do about it. Converting allies into vassals seems to be what MAGA is all about, Korea is simply going to have to suck it up. As for the Hyundai screw up, its hard to avoid the cliche comparison with Hitler German
