AMN:
Video appears to show Kim Jong Un casually smoking next to an untested liquid-fueled missile.
North Korea’s July 4 test of an intercontinental ballistic missile shocked the world by displaying how advanced and potent the missile forces of the hermit kingdom had become.
But a short video clip laid bare another shocking reality: North Korean missile forces allowed Kim Jong Un, the supreme leader of the country, to smoke a cigarette feet from the base of an untested, liquid-fueled rocket engine.
In the clip, first spotted by Ankit Panda, the Senior Editor of the Diplomat, Kim casually puffs a cigarette as the missile is positioned onto the launch pad. North Korea’s fueling practices of missiles has raised concern before, as liquid fuel is volatile and dangerous in even the most controlled settings. MORE
That rocket engine would make one a fine cigarette lighter, Mr. Kim, and would be very appropriate for someone of your great stature. Light up!
He has none of Marvin the Martian’s charm but all of his Earth destroying plans.
If it ever happened old Marvin would be wonderin why we’re shootin retarded midgets at him!
And our next Darwin Award contestant is…….
My Chief Petty Officer would’ve kicked our asses clear into next week if any of us ever smoked around any kind of flammable liquid, jet fuel, lox bottles etc. when I was in the Navy and rightly so. Maybe lil kim just wanted to go BOOM!
BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM……..
(Marvin the Martian’s voice)
“Oh, THERE’S my Illudium PU236 Explosive Space Modulator.”
What, no Bugs Bunny to thwart and befuddle Marvin the Martian? Can we sic Gremlins on lil kim, just because.
More bs news. Fake as Fock!
Yeah, but ya gotta admit it’s fun to think about!
These reckless practices will come with a price, just as they did when the Russian decided to cover their reactor at Chernobyl with a thatched roof.
The NorKo’s want to get rid of him, s they suggested he light up and feel comfortable.
The next time a small fule leak–KABOOM! State funeral to follow.
And just like that, a new Kim Assassination Plan presents itself…😀
well… someone had to light the fuze
I’m still convinced the whole NoKo defense program is nothing but Potemkin missles rolling around on surplus Soviet trucks.
