North Korea...suicidal, or attention whore?

RE: North Korea...suicidal, or attention whore?
More attention whoring. Even the news agencies agree. North Korea released a propoganda video of a missle strike on the US. The special effects weren't even that great...

Quote:Heather Williams, a research fellow at the U.K.’s Chatham House website, said North Korea was “almost like a petulant child,” constantly wanting to remind people of its existence by acting out.

She said images like the Capitol and New York explosions fitted the theme of previous propaganda from Pyongyang, but added “at the same time, it’s a more serious situation than we have seen in quite a while.”

“It is a reminder of the situation and that things could escalate,” she said.

Williams said Kim Jong Un was a “young, new leader” who still needed to “prove himself” to the country’s powerful military.

“My take is that it is overwhelmingly bluster for domestic reasons, not international ones,” she said.
Video in hide tags. And yeah, it's in Korean.
