North Korea TV Airs Terrible Action Movie-Style Footage of Newest Nuclear Missile
An incredibly awkward segment from North Korea’s latest propaganda video showing off the Hwasong-17 nuclear-capable missile and dictator Kim Jong Un.North Korean state TV aired a bizarre video Friday afternoon showing off the country’s latest nuclear-capable ICBM. And while the Hwasong-17 missile was meant to be the star of the show, we all know the real star., features dictator Kim Jong Un, decked out like a 1980s action hero, complete with bomber jacket and sunglasses.
The pumping music leads to a crescendo and Kim slowly removes his sunglasses while looking directly to camera. With a head nod Kim has seemingly given the okay to proceed with the production and the gigantic missile is driven out of a large hangar. It’d all be pretty amusing if it wasn’t a video about a weapon that could help destroy millions of lives on planet Earth—especially at a time when nuclear tensions are already through the roof.
U.S. military officials have reportedly been unable to contact their Russian counterparts since Russia first invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, meaning that the risk of a misunderstanding that could lead to a nuclear missile launch from either side is arguably higher than at any time in recent memory.
