The government of North Korea has released a new propaganda video which shows President Barack Obama and United States troops in flames, and credits Washington with leading North Korea to become a proud nuclear power.
Such content isn't shocking to North Koreans, who are exposed to a regular barrage of songs, operas, and even novels that fuel the nation's hatred of the United States and belittle South Korea. Propaganda is a tool used to govern the people, and in recent years North Korea has taken its propaganda campaign online, posting thousands of videos to YouTube.
Recently, the propagandists have been busy touting the successful launch of a satellite in December, and a nuclear test on February 12, attempting to convince North Koreans that their country was becoming a high-tech nuclear power under its new, young leader, Kim Jong-un.
The latest video to be uploaded is a 90-second video uploaded by the country's official Uriminzokkiri website, entitled "Thanks to the Americans."
The text that scrolls across the screen reads:
?It is not incorrect to say that the United States? gangster-like policy of hostility prompted us to become a most strong military power. Thus it can be said that it was ?thanks to? the Americans that we conducted a nuclear test.?
Flames in the video are superimposed on footage of Obama in Congress, American troops, and screen shots of a South Korean television station reporting on the North's nuclear test. The video ends with an animated simulation of a nuclear device exploding in an underground test site.
