Thanks for including the NYT link because I don’t really care what CCP propagandist Arnaud Bertrand has to say about anything.
the nyt is not any less a propagandist, though yes a secondary source is important.
In 2022, the women won a court ruling against their own government. South Korea’s Supreme Court ordered the government to compensate dozens of women for the trauma they endured as “comfort women for the U.S. military,” as they were once known. The court found the government guilty of encouraging prostitution for American G.I.s to help bring in badly needed U.S. dollars for the economy and maintain ties with the United States, on which it relied for security. It also said the government forced many women to receive treatment for sexually transmitted diseases in a “systematic and violent” way.
The latest lawsuit, which was filed at a Seoul court on Friday, was the first attempt by the women to hold the U.S. military accountable. The women and their lawyers said that the U.S. military was “the real culprit” in what was a state-sponsored sex trade, even allowing comfort women inside its bases and near its field training grounds.
So, Korea forced them into sexual slavery…
And now some of the victims are suing the US government, because some women managed to get on base, and “near” a training area?
Like, it depends on the base, but for lots of them there’s not really any security. Even if the driver does have to show an ID, they rarely check everyone’s.
It’s absolutely horrible what happened to those women, but this lawsuit won’t work
