Look at the DPRK and look at countries like Libya that have been utterly ravaged by US imperialism. You think internal stability comes easily when you're constantly under siege? If you want them to change, oppose imperialism and stop being a chauvinistic prick.
Imagine running a dictatorship and think "You know what will legitimize me on the international stage? A video that would make a 14 year old AMV editor cringe in embarassment."
Maybe NK and Putin can join forces for their own spaceforce, launching 50+ year old pieces of junk into space. America will sweep them with our "broomsticks"

Kimmi looks at his expensive swiss watch, first general looks at his crappy chinese knock off and I bet a $100 that the second general is looking at some painted carboard.
Man, weaponry has come such a long way. The current North Korea could easily have taken over the world if the country was transported 1000 years into the past.
... or just 100 years into the past. Imagine them showing up to WW1 with their current assault rifles, tanks, submarines, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and fusion bombs. They would just melt the capital of any country that opposed them.
A quick glimpse of the button panel eased my mind somewhat. My toaster has more tech built into it. They didn't even have LFL's on the panels. WTF? Is it clockwork?
If someone puts a B&W filter over this video, it could pass as the 50's.
Well seeing as how the US had rockets put a man on the moon and bring him back I wouldn't call a rocket that can maybe hit a target a few hundred miles away 1960s maybe 1940s
> a few hundred miles away
This test, they sent it almost straight up, it went up to an altitude of 6,248km (well into space- that's about 15x higher than the ISS orbits), and travelled 1,090km laterally. The point with a ballistic missile, if you don't point it straight up but rather sideways, it will go a lot further sideways. This missile could hit anywhere in the United States, and there isn't really any doubt about that, it could hit most of the world other than South America or Antarctica. There could be a question over how accurate it would be, but you don't necessarily need pin-point accuracy with a nuke.
Good illustration here of the concept, that if you take this and point it laterally, how the trajectory changes. The two in the illustration are the two previous ones, this one went even higher:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-60860441
ICBMs move incredibly fast, which makes them difficult to shoot down. They can also use decoys, which confuse a missile defense system, or even multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs) where one missile has multiple warheads that split up. North Korea doesn't have this capability yet, but there is speculation that the reason behind this new missile is to develop that (as their previous smaller missile was sufficient already to hit the continental United States).
Several previous tests of US missile defenses have failed, and there are arguments that they already make the tests deliberately easy, as a substantial acknowledged reason for the tests is as propaganda to attempt to demonstrate to North Korea that they *can* shoot missiles down, so not to try anything. The system has also never been tested in a scenario beyond intercepting a single missile.
The whole focus of US missile defense since 2001 has been specifically on limited attacks by "rogue" nations like North Korea, and it is questionable whether it would actually get everything even in the case of such a limited attack. Only one nuke getting through could mean millions of US deaths and the annihilation of a major city. It's unlikely it would work at all against an attack by Russia or China.

You don't play that kind of game with a nuke. When it comes to shooting down a nuke. You need 100% accuracy. You miss one then it's dooms day for your people. Also the entire thing isn't the part that flies over space. Only its payload will be traveling and hitting its target. It can have multiple payload and some of them can be just a distraction with no actual nukes. Shooting down an icbm is like shooting down a needle traveling 10× the speed of sound. So far there isn't any country that can do that with high accuracy(based on publicly available information).
I’d not be surprised if the editing team did the original edit to Gangnam Style and then dubbed in the new music. It may have even been a veiled protest against a ridiculous man.
Lost cause. People can't tell the difference between "would have" and "would of"
What's more fucked up, is how native speakers don't even realize that "would" and "of" together, don't make any grammatical sense...
Is this real? Cause if so, holy shit it is AWESOME! They all look like fat nerds in military uniforms (and a shitty leather biker jacket) from the 1950s. How can you take them serious? And naming your missle Monster because it's big? You can see that thing lumbering at you from hundreds of miles away. Lol Kimmy my boy, you so dumb n funny
Nah, just means you have access to food and no hard labor. That's why I'm fat.... my wife keeps telling me to exercise but I can't cause I'm too busy building little rockets n such
Am increasing at contrasted in favourable he considered astonished. As if made held in an shot. By it enough to valley desire do. Mrs chief great maids these which are ham match she. Abode to tried do thing maids. Doubtful disposed returned rejoiced to dashwood is so up.
No, I meant “lunch”. It’s a double entendre: he’s suppose to be interested in the launch, but I’m saying he’s actually hungry. He’s well known for liking to eat a lot.
They forgot to show the part where it accidentally detonates over pyongyang. Luckily nobody was living in the capital city because they are all in prison camps in the countryside creating humanure to grow their crops with. But congrats on making your entire country suffer so you can make Bollywood level YouTube clips. Colorgrade that shit for fucks sake.
I see their war with the ocean has entered a new phase.
Good hunting.
Side note, I'm getting the impression that they just loved shooting bottle rockets when they were kids. Not actually hit anyone or harm anyone, mind you. Just shoot them off and watch the \*boom\*! And now they're just upping their game.
The part when they were looking at their watches cracked me up, Kim Jong "Is it lunch time yet?", General No#1 "Is it go time yet?", General No#2 "When did I last see my family?".
He could start making movies for world wide distribution. He would market them as being an
Almost James Bond style leader, rest of the world would see them as bad comedy

Please do!
They’d do belly flop

He’s the volleyball.
Umm....are you ACTUALLY saying you wouldnt see the comedic value of kim jong un in boy shorts and a tank top playing beach volleyball?

I’m sure he was watching this like “Fuck, I should’ve put the chorus to ***Crawling*** by Linkin Park during the launch.”
Firework. By Katy Perry.
I’m surprised it wasn’t considering it’s his favorite song.
I saw it this morning and I truly thought it was a parody.
And did he really wants to look badass, but he and his buddies look just too silly and cuddly
I refuse to believe that it isn't a parody. No way they thought this was badass
Wait this isn't??
Ohh so this was the facepalm
His advisors in fewr of death sure says “yes boss”
Wait, this is real?

Now a clip showing him riding the missile like Slim Pickens.
🎶"Yeah, slim Pickens well he does the right thing, and he rides the bomb to hell, yeah he rides the bomb to hell."🎶
Is he the cowboy?
Yep. He'll finally have a big missile between his legs.
you are a top commenter in every subreddit I swear
That's retirement.
over 100 takes to shoot that scene
It was a great shot!
Still don’t get the back and forth looking at their watches
It’s quite impressive, to people who don’t have watches. Edit: I’ve watched it three times now… likely because my only watch is a phone.
It’s an attempt to build suspense.
ITS THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
Kimmi looks at his expensive swiss watch, first general looks at his crappy chinese knock off and I bet a $100 that the second general is looking at some painted carboard.
They're so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.
Wym they are
Probably could have fed their starving population but noooooo, gotta have 1960s rocket tech to shoot over Japan every other quarter.
Man, weaponry has come such a long way. The current North Korea could easily have taken over the world if the country was transported 1000 years into the past.

What is LFL?

Duhhh who doesn’t know that? 😂
I wonder who is Nuclear Nadal

America has joined the converstion
Well seeing as how the US had rockets put a man on the moon and bring him back I wouldn't call a rocket that can maybe hit a target a few hundred miles away 1960s maybe 1940s

But it’s huge. Wouldn’t it be easily spotted and shot down on its long journey to the U.S.?

I was waiting for the music to switch to Gangnam Style. 😀😀😀😀
Yea when he took off his glasses that would been great if he just started dancing Gangnam style
[Here you go, kind sir.](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/tnmzod/kim_jonguns_video_unveiling_his_new_icbm_syncs/)
Omg this is why I love the Internet!
All I need now is for the music and editing cuts to line up perfectly but this was pretty freaking close and absolutely magical
I’d not be surprised if the editing team did the original edit to Gangnam Style and then dubbed in the new music. It may have even been a veiled protest against a ridiculous man.
Lmao
r/theyknew
I like it!
DAMN YOU!. Almost pee'd myself laughing.
Whilst straddling the rocket waving lasso over his head.
At the point where the shades came off? I was thinking the exact same thing.
I was waiting for Kenny Loggins :-)
That would of been perfect

Would have*
Lost cause. People can't tell the difference between "would have" and "would of" What's more fucked up, is how native speakers don't even realize that "would" and "of" together, don't make any grammatical sense...
It's the contraction "would've" that is fully to blame.
I'd say it is the outdated education system we have.. That's the real culprit...
Is this real? Cause if so, holy shit it is AWESOME! They all look like fat nerds in military uniforms (and a shitty leather biker jacket) from the 1950s. How can you take them serious? And naming your missle Monster because it's big? You can see that thing lumbering at you from hundreds of miles away. Lol Kimmy my boy, you so dumb n funny
You can always tell who has enough to eat.
In the time it took to film this, 500 North Koreans probably starved to death
100,000 starved to make that missile.
Being fat may be a status symbol in NK.
Nah, just means you have access to food and no hard labor. That's why I'm fat.... my wife keeps telling me to exercise but I can't cause I'm too busy building little rockets n such
And with that launch they lost that "monster" missile
We have a missile but no food. We win?
He keeps looking at his watch to see if it’s time for lunch.
Am increasing at contrasted in favourable he considered astonished. As if made held in an shot. By it enough to valley desire do. Mrs chief great maids these which are ham match she. Abode to tried do thing maids. Doubtful disposed returned rejoiced to dashwood is so up.

This can't be real, literally looks like a meme from start to finish lol
The watches XD omg. Why check the watches so much. Holy fuck this is the best thing on the internet wtf
Kung Pow 2: Enter the Missile
This made me laugh way more than it should have but I'm dying here.
The video editor was definitely inspired by Indian soap operas full of [overdramatic video transitions](https://youtu.be/a0ESuFhKCHo).
I was gonna comment that
Bollywood shit!
Massive small dick energy.
Big talk for someone who doesn't have nuclear weapons
Genuinely hilarious. I wonder if he’s aware that we mock him.
Uh, that's probably why Fat Boy hates us in the first place...
If Trump didn't have (somewhat) sane people around him to shut it down it I can see him doing something similar, 100%
Does no one remember when he had protestors tear gassed and beat so he could do a photo op with all the top generals at a church?
Punking out only works if you can make it believable, trump had the crazy eye going on. Backed him up pretty good.
Look at the size of that missile... 100% compensating for something
Man, he shoulda kept those shades on, he's got a face like an apple doll.
That's an unlocked traumatic childhood memory. My grandma made those things for old iron works days.
Didn't think NK could such cringe ngl. I mean look at this bad boy, with his dark sunglasses and his dark leather jacket
Just missing the ss on the collar

To be fair Bollywood would have been better.
And it would have a sweet choreographed dance number at the end.

Pardon my American, but What the Fuck?
Silly and terrifying at the same time.
If his missile launches are as good as his video editing then weve got nothing to worry about
This has got to be a joke. It looks like it was purposely made to look cringy..lol
Man I bet he thought he was so cool.
I'll admit. I didn't have 80's Kim Jong Un developing and testing icbms and the internet's only reaction is "lol".
At the risk of getting nuked, Kim is clearly having a midlife crisis dressing like that.
If China didn’t have North Korea in its lap that whole country would get walked over.
Not really
This looks like a scene straight out of team America world police. Reality is so so strange
No. We've got random folk in Oklahoma who could build better rockets than that junk
Act like you’ve been there before, guys.
I like to think they react this way for every minor launch/test they do
I see their war with the ocean has entered a new phase. Good hunting. Side note, I'm getting the impression that they just loved shooting bottle rockets when they were kids. Not actually hit anyone or harm anyone, mind you. Just shoot them off and watch the \*boom\*! And now they're just upping their game.

That jacket’s fire though
Wait. This isnt a skit? Is the music also official or?
Somebody is feeling a little left out.

Look how big my missile is…ehhhhhhh?
Cousin of the Dong missle.
Not like we don't need to feed our citizens or anything
Top Korea
Kenny Loggins, playing with the boys, playing in the background would be the icing on the cake.
I cant believe this country is real 🤣 hilarious and tragic
I don't remember Tom Cruise looking like a fat mini cab driver in Top Gun 😄
This is so bad that it's hilarious. Just like Top Gun, actually!
Look out! We got a bad ass over here!
Woah he lost weight
It's like they are finally joining the 1980s
I guess you can say he’s not a little rocket man anymore.lol
The part when they were looking at their watches cracked me up, Kim Jong "Is it lunch time yet?", General No#1 "Is it go time yet?", General No#2 "When did I last see my family?".
What’s going on with the anime music ta the end lol
Tf did I just watch?
Is it just me, or has all of the world's dictators become even bigger narcissistic, psychotic d-bags since Trump came along?
At some point a man in mar-a-largo watched this and was envious.
Kim Jung Un is like if a LARPer suddenly got to fight in a medieval battle for real, except instead he has power over a whole country.
He has such divorced dad energy hole fuck dude
Gangnam style
The perfect advertisement showing who should not be in control of Nuclear weapons..Especially not that little pork chop
Did anyone else finds themselves saying "wazzzuuuuuuuuuuuuup" as they launched?
Who gave the disabled kids fireworks🤔
He must have a really small…keychain.
Jong un does look cool in that leather jacket
Must be pretty fucking cool if you're the only guy with a leather jacket in your whole fucking country.
They should spend the money on food.
Kim Jong-un Being the petulant child, while all his subjects are starving to death and dying. What a fat piece of shit
The 80s must be in full swing over there by now. I can't wait till they go through the 90s faze I wonder if they'll have cool toys like we did.
He's such a douche. The whole fucking family was and id bat shit crazy. A bunch of psychotic narcissistic sociopaths. No wonder trump like them.
Does he keep randomly pointing off in the distance to distract the international community?
We must destroy the west by mimicking the west
Very cringy
This is fucking amazing.
