North Korea releases propaganda film showing Washington under nuclear attack

[Lodestar]

North Korea released a new propaganda video menacingly titled “Last Chance”, showing a submarine-launched nuclear missile laying waste to Washington and concluding with the US flag in flames.

The four-minute video, set to jaunty music, romps through the history of US-Korean relations and ends with a digitally manipulated sequence showing a missile surging through clouds, swerving back to the earth and slamming into the road in front of Washington’s Lincoln Memorial.

1. They've always said they'd launch first.

In many ways nothing has changed, and this is primarily for domestic consumption. If the elite suddenly disappear that's when we should worry.

2. I don't think China wants to lose our business.

That said, maybe we should send James Franco back there to cool things down.

3. OMG!!! OMG!!! Someone out there doesn't like us!!! KILL THEM!!!! KILL THEM WITH FIRE!!!!

.....sheeze......

4. During the video Kim Jong Il premiered the latest North Korean supersonic anti ship cruise missile

8. Those are bottle rocket boosters, right?

Maybe we should send them trump.

To negotiate.

11. Wrong pic, thats the old model the new one is even more advanced with the improvement of duct tape

to provide an reinforced hull and a booster engine powered by pop rocks and coca cola.

5. The film is on YouTube

I'm not going to link it here. Just search "Last Chance Korea"

6. But when _we_release it, it's called "Independence Day". n/t

7. Well, at least we're still living in tents, eating birds and drinking snow in cities made to look

like European cities to deceive the entire world

9. Attacking Washington, DC ... during election season?

Not very original, just ask all of the "outsider" Republican candidates. The producer of the film might want to start working on the sequel ... before the annual purge kicks off.

10. I'm not really sure why the common reply is to marginalize or dismiss these threats.

There are many options between war and being an ostrich on the matter.

Even Russia is warning Pyongyang to tone down the rhetoric. This is heating up.

[cstanleytech]

12. Because 99.9% of its just hot air that the leadership of North Korea is spewing

kind of like Fox News.

[Socal31]

13. In your opinion.

That position is of arrogance, as it completely dismisses history, and the ingrained hatred of the US presence on the peninsula.

[cstanleytech]

14. No, its based on their actions over the decades. They bluster, they threaten but do they actually

do anything major? No.
Why? Because the North Korean leadership is really only concerned with only one thing and one thing only, staying in power and if they tried anything like a first strike with a nuclear weapon on the US or even on South Korea they know that both the US and China would likely come down on their ass like the hammer of god and they would be out of power if not dead soon afterwards.

[Socal31]

15. You completely ignore one thing: miscalculation.

The difference between now and decades ago is that they actually do have nuclear weapons.

All it takes to set of the DMZ is another shelling or sub-sinking.

The military assets we have deployed there right now are suspiciously larger than usual for our Foal Eagle exercises. B-2, F22, etc.

Just be aware.

[cstanleytech]

16. Having and actually using are two different things.

There probably isnt any single major government in this world that would allow North Korea to get away with using a nuke in a first strike and I think the leadership of North Korea knows this.
