On Monday, North Korea launched a ballistic missile for the first time since President-elect Trump won re-election.

Kim Jong Un's regime conducted another missile test on Monday, indicating that he has no intention of improving his relationship with Trump as he did with President Biden.

The condemnation of ongoing partnerships between the U.S., Japan, and South Korea as a "nuclear military bloc" by North Korea's ruling party leaders was announced more than a week after their annual meeting in Pyongyang.

The Workers' Party of Korea stated that this reality indicates the direction we should progress and the actions we should take.

The meeting took place amid rising tensions between North Korea and Western governments due to North Korea's deployment of troops to aid Russia in its invasion of Ukraine.

Following this week's meetings, Kim's regime also labeled South Korea as an "anti-communist outpost," in response to President Yoon Suk-Yeoul's attempt to impose martial law in December.

After Yoon's attempt was thwarted by North Korea's legislature, the regime of Kim Jong Un commented on the issue through its state-run news outlet on December 11.

According to KCNA, the regime of puppet Yoon Suk Yeol, which was facing a severe governance crisis and an impeachment crisis, declared martial law and used its fascist dictatorship to wield guns and knives without hesitation.

KCNA stated that the international community is closely monitoring the martial law incident in South Korea and believes that it has exposed weaknesses in the country's society. Additionally, the agency warned that Yoon Suk Yeol's political career may suffer as a result of the incident.

After Yoon's power grab, South Korea's legislature impeached him, and a national court is currently considering whether to uphold his removal.
