However, we do note that in the Hollywood like video, Mr. Kim blessed us with his acting abilities. Bravo!

Can't afford to replace the "monster missile"?

The ROK successfully test launches its ICBM prototype.
Thankfully for Japan, crazy militarist liberal administration is going away, replaced by conservative Yoon who looks to cut defense spending in order to provide tax cut to the wealthy.
Had Lee won the presidential election, the ROK defense budget was projected to reach $80 billion by 2027.

What do you mean, they "FAKED" it?!?!?
Well you know, if they take me to a broadway show or a really fancy dinner.
Or sometimes, I'm just so tired, and I've had enough already. I just want to get some sleep.
But I was so GOOD!!!!!!!

This means North Korea launched Hwasong-15, then claimed they successfully launched Hwasong-17.
Hwasong-17 is a multi-warhead ICBM while Hwasong-15 is single-warhead, so Hwasong-17 would be harder to neutralize than Hwasong-15 even if both can reach Washington DC.

Faked launch? Recall it was Stalin who initially put the Kim family into power. And Stalin learned from earlier Russian rulers who had created the fake Potemkin Village about ways to deceive the public. Today Putin crying Nazi is carrying on the Russian tradition of faking things, which is easier to do when the state controls media and information.

Another lie from one of "The Gang of Three". How unusual...

That video was such a spectacle. All those generals looking so relaxed, laughing, soldiers screaming with enthusiasm. Kim the Don strutting around like a bad ass. Music the works. All fake of course, not that that matters really, cause it’s the performance that counts.
The inevitable endgame of all of these autocracies. Forced to live ( and smile to ) an obvious lie. Obvious of course for everyone but the prince with no clothes running the show. What a living hell it must be. Be happy to be born in the free world folks.

And this missile LIE is still up in their official website "DPRK Today".
Just wonder why they even have an english version of that site, they don't fool anyone outside of that gulag country.

As reported previously they plan to shoot off a big one towards the US on 15 April.
Maybe after losing the earlier one on 16 March in the skies above Pyongyang they are saving the other one.
Fighto!
Ha ha! Little Rocket Man caught telling tall stories! "And my rocket was THAT big, I swear!"
What a hilarious and pathetic video of the bogus "launch" that was!
Cricky
It was not hilarious or pathetic! It was an attempt to break into the art house short movie market. Come on who doesn’t love a chubby in a leather jacket with a big missile as a back drop. It’s strait out of Team America. A classic. 10 points for Kim 20 years too late but like your gumption.

Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages! We present to you, Vainglory! A more perfect and precise example you will never hope to find in all the world, in your lifetimes! Now, don't crowd! No pushing or shoving! Their state-run media will ensure that each of you has an opportunity to gaze upon this bizarre and pathetic spectacle!
