South Korea's Political Turmoil: Martial Law Fallout and Leadership Crisis

TL;DR Summary
North Korea has criticized South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol for his failed attempt to impose martial law, which has led to political chaos and calls for his impeachment. The Korean Central News Agency condemned Yoon's actions, describing them as dictatorial, while analysts speculate on North Korea's potential response, including nuclear tests. The situation is further complicated by the geopolitical dynamics involving the US, with uncertainty over Donald Trump's potential return to negotiations with North Korea and concerns about North Korea's growing ties with Russia.
