Asians just won the Oscars!

1. Primaries are sucking up all of the news coverage.

Watched the Oscars and all of the awards won by Koreans and Parasite. Tremendous success and the awards were supported by everyone in the room. Bong Joon-ho was lauded as a greater director and human!

2. The reason I haven't posted this...

...when some of the Korean-American pundits i follow can't stop talking about it:

While the US tries to screw ROK at the SMA defense cost sharing negotiations, they get this shambolic support from Hollywood. Thousands of Koreans who work supporting US military efforts are threatened with unpaid leave. Trump and his supporters use the security situation on the Korean peninsula to extort money and control South Korean policy. He is damaging the alliance and international stability, perhaps irreparably.

How much publicity does that get?
