North Korea Simulates Nuclear Attack on DC ‘If Imperialists Provoke Us’
North Korea released a propaganda video Saturday depicting a nuclear attack on Washington, D.C., claiming the dictatorship will launch nuclear missiles if provoked by “American imperialists.”
The video, ominously titled Last Chance, shows numerous recordings of missile launches from submarines and various military installations. Using visual effects, the video then zooms in on a missile, following it as it travels to the heart of Washington, D.C. The missile then strikes and detonates in the reflecting pool between the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument, reports Fox 5.
“If the American imperialists provoke us a bit, we will not hesitate to slap them with a preemptive nuclear strike,” Korean subtitles read in the video. “The United States must choose! It’s up to you whether the nation called the United States exists on this planet or not.”
After showing a wide shot of the city being vaporized by the blast, it cuts to an image of the U.S. Capitol Building in a blur of discolored waves as the building splits down the middle and explodes. The American flag is then seen burning with crosses in the background. The video also goes through perceived embarrassments of the U.S. at North Korea’s hand, reports The New York Times.
North Korea recently threatened a nuclear strike on Washington, D.C. after new United Nations sanctions punished the nation for testing nuclear devices and launching various missile tests. North Korea released similar videos in 2013, one bombing New York City and another showing President Barack Obama burning in flames.
The full video is available below. The nuclear attack on D.C. commences at 3:22 in the video.
