Kim Jong-un ‘rubbing his hands in glee at South Korean martial law CRISIS – chaos is a gift for his despotic regime’
According to an expert, Kim Jong-un is rubbing his hands together with delight over the martial law situation in South Korea.
North Korea Leadership Watch founder and director Michael Madden described the unrest as a “gift” for the despot.
Kim will now accuse his people of being dysfunctional and claim that his harsh rule is preferable to democracy.
They now say, “Well, this is a decadent, corrupt, capitalist culture,” Madden told The Sun. Why would you travel there, then?
“We may have stability, but you may be starving here.
According to Madden, the imposition of martial law by President Yoon Suk Yeol was “almost a gift” to Kim and North Korean public relations propaganda.

He claimed that the crisis had the consequence of making dictatorial Pyongyang appear more politically stable than Seoul.
Kim might argue that the south is unreliable, which might potentially have an impact on any diplomatic efforts between the archenemies.
He stated: The North Koreans may now essentially claim to a high level of dysfunction in South Korean political culture by pointing to the fact that they [South Korea] imposed martial law.
He added: This is a bit of a maybe ‘found money’ forKim Jong-unand North Korean elites because all they have to do is point: This is a chaotic dysfunctional political environment so why the hell are we going to talk to them first of all’.
Kim has not yet responded to the South Korean issue, and the state newspaper’s Wednesday edition made no mention of the events.
However, given that the despot has been acting more aggressively toward the West and has dispatched 10,000 troops to participate in Russia’s battle with Ukraine, Kim might take advantage of it.

Additionally, he built exploding kamikaze drones and ordered their mass manufacturing, adding to his arsenal of weapons.
In a surprise speech at 11 p.m. on Tuesday, President Yoon proclaimed martial law, which sparked turmoil in Seoul.
Elite special forces personnel were helicoptered to the National Assembly after Yoon gave the order for soldiers to storm it.
Troops pushed their way through a crowd protesting Yoon’s decisionoutside the parliament and smashed windows and broke through doors to get past defences that had been built by civilians.
Officials built barricades at the parliament’s doors and sprayed the soldiers with fire extinguishers as lawmakers desperately pushed back against the alleged power grab.
Lawmakers then voted against the declaration 190-0 with the president’s party not voting.
Then, just six hours after declaring martial law, Yoon did a U-turn and cancelled his order in a humiliating climb down.
Lawmakers have nowtabled an impeachment of Yoonwhich will need the support of two thirds of the parliament to pass.
South Korea’s defence minister has resigned after he was reportedly official to propose the move to Yoon.
Thousands of Koreans have taken to the streets around the country on Wednesday to continue protesting against the alleged power grab.

Lee Jae-myung – the leader of the opposition – has slammed the declaration Wednesday as “a coup against the people” and said the ruling party might try again.
He has hosted a massive rally outside the National Assembly saying the “great Korean people [had] overcome this coup”.
What is martial law?
MARTIAL law is the temporary replacement of a civilian government with military rule – typically during war or major disasters.
Historically, it has been brought in after coups, during protests, to suppress political dissent or stabilise insurrections.
It involves the military taking control of the normal legal system and control of civilians.
Ordinary laws and civil liberties may be suspended under martial law.
It is a drastic measure with significant implications for individual freedoms and the rule of law.
While it’s meant to be temporary, martial law can be indefinite.
