[QUOTE]In what appears to be a provocative PR stunt, a bizarre video [URL="https://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=Ah7dtjCsjqr4G3rwdGgn_cqZCMZ_;_ylu=X3oDMTFka3BkYnE0BG1pdANCbG9nIEJvZHkEcG9zAzEEc2VjA01lZGlhQmxvZ0JvZHlBc3NlbWJseQ--;_ylg=X3oDMTMzazlkODRxBGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDNDIzMjNmMmUtYTYwZS0zNDVjLWI5YTUtMWRhZDI3M2ZiMTI1BHBzdGNhdANibG9nc3x0aGVsb29rb3V0BHB0A3N0b3J5cGFnZQ--;_ylv=0/SIG=121lomth6/EXP=1361288957/**https%3A//www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv=HKWJSKYBDXE"]uploaded to YouTube[/URL] 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 "[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Are_the_World"]We Are the World[/URL]," 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," [URL="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/feb/05/north-korea-video-us-city-flames"]reads a caption[/URL], 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 [URL="http://news.yahoo.com/north-korea-threatens-us-over-rocket-launches-083555975.html"]threatened to retaliate against the U.S.[/URL] 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."

NK when war starts. :suicide: :suicide: :suicide: :suicide: :suicide: :suicide:
I r dumb
North Korea just did an Internet.
Oh for fucks sake NK stop doing this shit. You knw when you're going to war you will probably be defeated.
The only funny thing about the video is the choice of music
If it weren't for america, they wouldn't have the idea of a space shuttle. Nor the music.
Oh the irony.

They will put up a bloody good fight if they do.

Or the clips stolen from what I'm pretty sure is Call of Duty
[QUOTE=Scrimp;39483114]They will put up a bloody good fight if they do.[/QUOTE]
True,but I don't think they kan handle NATO/UN,Russia (?),China (?),SK etc etc all at once.
Best Korea is at it once again.
iirc china is allied with nk
[QUOTE=TCB;39483148]iirc china is allied with nk[/QUOTE]
Aye, but if NK's stupid enough to try anything nuclear, China will just wash their hands of them.
[QUOTE=TCB;39483148]iirc china is allied with nk[/QUOTE]
I thought China hates NK, they just deal with them because they don't want conflict.
Pyongyang has a death wish.
[QUOTE=TCB;39483148]iirc china is allied with nk[/QUOTE]
An economic alliance at best. NK receives lots of aid from China but it's very doubtful that they'd let themselves be dragged into a conflict with South Kora/US. According to Wikileaks China is fed up with NK's "childish" behavior.
[QUOTE=Untouch;39483170]I thought China hates NK, they just deal with them because they don't want conflict.[/QUOTE]
They just don't want the state to collapse and be inundated with millions of refugees.
To be fair, no country wants NK to collapse outright.
[QUOTE=Scrimp;39483114]They will put up a bloody good fight if they do.[/QUOTE]
I think most of us know how much fun the US will have with their army. I mean you don't even have to think they stand a marginal chance other then the first weeks/months of a surprise attack

Is North Korea launching giant legs or some shit?
I lost it at the MW3 clips
[QUOTE=Wormy;39483125]Yup, it's from Modern Warfare 3.[/QUOTE]I bet NK plays CoD games and stop at the peak of destruction towards the US, considering that their definition of beating the game.
Especially Homefront, it has to be their favorite.
Oh my god that video is hilarious.

I'm getting a Spec Ops The Line feeling
Shooting American soldiers the entire game, couldn't get better

LOL says who
"We are the world" is now stuck in my head
Canon's worst product placement yet.
let's just respond with the America, Fuck Yeah! music video
I find it funny that this sort of implies that they are only successful in their dreams.
This looks like an advertisement for something, but I don't know what. It seems our great leader has also mastered Adobe after effects.
The music made me felt like I was watching a really bad porno......
[QUOTE=TCB;39483148]iirc china is allied with nk[/QUOTE]
China is only allied with NK for basic regional leverage. If shit really hits the fan, no doubt China will turn the other cheek. They don't want to get involved in a war.
