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.

And before this topic gets completely derailed -

Yeah, North Korea is crazy insane. I guess this is what happens when the whole world, your "allies" included, have a less than favorable opinion of you.

Meanwhile the north korean people are eating their belts and shoes.

The "footage" is from Modern Warfare 3...the video game.

North Korea has been making so much propaganda for so long, it can be easy to overlook at this point, but the world tends to take notice when you depict an American metropolis under siege by a missile attack. This is particularly troubling as the country is set to go forward with a new nuclear test despite international condemnation.

The video was posted on North Korea’s official YouTube channel, Uriminzokkiri, and features a dream sequence where a man envisions the US coming under fire by a hail of North Korean missiles which ravage a collection of skyscrapers in New York.

The only problem?

The video isn’t from North Korea’s assuredly excellent special effects team, rather it’s taken directly from a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 cutscene. You can’t make this stuff up.

In the game, the US comes under attack by an angry Russia during what amounts to World War III, hence Manhattan being under fire by a barrage of missiles. But in the North Korean video, they’re taking all the credit. The captions over the footage read:

“Somewhere in the United States, black clouds of smoke are billowing.”

“It seems that the nest of wickedness is ablaze with the fire started by itself.”

In the end, the man concludes that his dream “surely will come true.”

I guess someone needs to get Captain Price and Soap MacTavish on the phone.

We should retaliate by posting episodes of MASH on YouTube.

FYI

This video is old. At least two. They have shown it on their government controlled TV. Not that is really matters.

It was a weird video.

The video is gone. It says that there is a claim by Activision. WTF, is Activision going to sue North Korea?

They have to be the most pacified people on earth, you'd think they would have revolted against that mess a long time ago.
