In what appears to be a provocative PR stunt, a bizarre video uploaded to YouTube by North Korea over the weekend shows a dream sequence that includes a U.S. city resembling New York under an apparent missile attack.

The video, produced by North Korea's official website, Uriminzokkiri, begins with a young man imagining himself aboard a North Korean space shuttle that circles the earth, pausing to zoom in on a unified Korea.

The soundtrack to the three-and-a-half-minute video is an instrumental version of "We Are the World," the 1985 single written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, and recorded by a celebrity supergroup, with proceeds going to African aid.

Near the end of the dream sequence, the imagined U.S. city—including what appears to be the Empire State Building—is shown in flames.

"Somewhere in the United States, black clouds of smoke are billowing," reads a caption, translated by The Guardian. "It seems that the nest of wickedness is ablaze."

When reached by Yahoo News, U.S. National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor declined to comment.

The video arrives just days after North Korea threatened to retaliate against the U.S. for what it called a double standard stemming from a recent rocket launch by South Korea, which the U.S. said had no military intent.
In December, the U.S. claimed a North Korean rocket launch was a test of banned ballistic missile technology, and the United Nations Security Council announced sanctions.

On Saturday, a North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman did not elaborate on the threatened retaliation. But according to the Associated Press, Pyongyang recently threatened to conduct its third nuclear test in response to what it calls U.S. hostility.

On Tuesday, South Korea U.N. Ambassador Kim Sook said a North Korean nuclear test was "imminent."

I've never made a thread in DC before, figured this is the best place to post it. I don't know what to make of it but it is pretty freaky.
Don't know if Q?

Should we be underestimating North Korea as a threat?
I say nuke em out of orbit to be sure.

It is baffling and seems like the entire system over there is about keeping everyone in the dark.

Other countries in similar situations atleast try at some point, they're not always successful but atleast they try.

Its also surprising how few defections they have, atleast i never read about them, you'd think those people would make the cubans attempts to get out of that country look halfhearted.

Oh I know. We were going through that when talking about their GDP in macro economics.

I doubt they have the energy to run to the border. Their nutrition is so bad that they literally have shrank in comparison to the rest of the world.
