Today marked the first day of a furlough of thousands of Korean employees staffing U.S. military bases in South Korea. The layoffs without pay are the first in the history of the seven-decade alliance.
A statement from the USFK Korean Employees Union deplored the furloughs as a betrayal of the spirit of the alliance, and noted that they come just days after President Trump urgentlyCOVID-19 test kits from South Korean President Moon Jae-in. The first batch of those kits reportedly was awaiting air shipment to the U.S. on Tuesday.
Abrams has warned the furlough will affect USFK's military readiness. The coronavirus outbreak has already forced the cancellation or scaling back of joint military exercises, and the Korean military has infections among its own ranks to treat. The U.S.-South Korea impasse that forced the furloughs emerged when the Trump administration demanded significantly higher payments from Seoul to cover the cost of U.S. troops in South Korea.

And yes, the result is the cutest makeup vessel I\u2019ve ever seen\u2014a bizarrely lifelike wine bottle for ants. But this is also the perfect lip tint. This tint looks and lasts like a traditional stain, but doesn\u2019t have that bitter taste or drying, astringent feel typical in other products. It\u2019s also easy to apply: the sheer formula takes its time to dry down, so you can blend outwards for a popsicle look or fix any spots out of bounds. (You can even dab the doe-foot applicator along your cheeks for a flush that lasts.) It didn\u2019t grab on to my dry spots in a gross looking way. And, OK, have you seen the packaging?! The shade Merlot Burgundy RD03, a translucent stunner somewhere between plum and brick, is the one to grab.
