North Korea video shows US city under attack
North Korea, poised to conduct a nuclear test any day now, has posted a video on YouTube depicting a US city resembling New York engulfed in flames after an apparent missile attack. The footage was uploaded on Saturday by the North's official website, Uriminzokkiri, which distributes news and propaganda from the state media. The video is shot as a dream sequence, with a young man seeing himself on board a North Korean space shuttle launched into orbit by the same type of rocket Pyongyang successfully tested in December. As the shuttle circles the globe - to the tune of "We Are the World" - the video zooms in on countries below, including a joyfully re-unified Korea. In contrast, the focus then switches to a city - shrouded in the US flag - under apparent missile attack with its skyscrapers, including what appears to be the Empire State Building, either on fire or in ruins. "Somewhere in the United States, black clouds of smoke are billowing," runs the caption across the screen. "It seems that the nest of wickedness is ablaze with the fire started by itself," it added. The video ends with the young man concluding that his dream will "surely come true. Despite all kinds of attempts by imperialists to isolate and crush us... never will anyone be able to stop the people marching toward a final victory," it said. The North is expected to conduct its nuclear test as a defiant response to UN sanctions imposed after its December rocket launch. |
no difference from all those N Korean bad guys in "Goldfinger" TBH
|
Is it just retaliation?

Meanwhile... in the real world

Hopefully it was Wasington DC.
San Diego has no, repeat no military targets dear big haired leader. |
New York is a sexier target. DC has really short buildings. It's a building code limitation that no building can be taller than, IIRC, the tip top of the Capitol Dome.

The lyrics to their chosen music don't really fit the theme:
There comes a time when we heed a certain call When the world must come together as one. There are people dying and it's time to lend a hand To life - the greatest gift of all. We can't go on pretending day by day That someone somewhere will soon make a change. We are all a part of God's great big family And the truth You know Love is all we need. We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving. There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives. It's true We'll make a better day Just you and me. Well Send them your heart So they'll know that someone cares And their lives will be stronger and free. As God has shown us by turning stone to bread And so we all must lend a helping hand. We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So lets start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we make a brigther day Just you and me... |
Sick, sad people. Note though that they had to use a "decadent, Imperialist, western" soundtrack.

Iffin I had to choose between DC and NYC, it wouldn't be based on architecture for sure... But that's another thread |
I really, really tried but I couldn't find the bit where it shows the starving millions of its own citizens.

Perhaps it's the 'region specific' trailer for the remake of Red Dawn, in which the USA is invaded by North Korea (honest, I'm not making it up).
Actually, the best comment I saw about the recent North Korean missile test was that its success may have surprised everyone, but not as much as it surprised the North Koreans themselves. |
I havent posted here before, I normally just have a browse, anyway! I saw this subject and though you lads my appreciate this!

Time: War Drums Along the 38th Parallel
From the Pentagon to Panmunjom, U.S. defense officials conceded on Monday they are perplexed, and pondering, what Pyongyang will do next. American and South Korean defense officials are used to strange words and deeds from North Korea, but over the past week the Hermit Kingdom’s actions have reached unprecedented levels. On Monday, North Korea carried through with its threat to declare the 1953 armistice ending the Korean War null, just as the South Korean and U.S. forces began an annual military exercise. “The U.S. has reduced the armistice agreement,” North Korea’s state-run media reported, “to a dead paper.” (See more North Korean war rhetoric.) As a diplomatic exclamation point, the North cut off a Red Cross hotline linking the two Koreas. U.S. officials suggest the North Korean delegation at the truce village of Panmunjom may soon withdraw................

Let's hope we don't look back at all these outbursts in years to come and wonder why we didn't read the signs.
Is it just me that finds the current N Korean rhetoric and aggressive posturing somewhat chilling? Even China is getting uncomfortable - and I think that should tell us something. If ever we need to remind ourselves why Iran must never get N weapons we should just take a look at Korea. |
