BREAKING NEWS – Pyongyang, North Korea – North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has gone Hollywood in a video highlighting his newest missile launch.
The U.S. condemned test launch of the Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile and hit North Korea with new sanctions.
But Kim heralded the test as a show of force that would deter future U.S. military moves while he ironically imitated one of the biggest American military touchstones: In a leather jacket and aviator shades, Kim drew comparisons to Top Gun in a video promoting the test to the public. He said he was not trying to mimic Tom Cruise, but he refused to explain why he recently mandated that the new state religion is Scientology.
