Experts in America are troubled by North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un’s rare display of lethal weapons.

On Monday at the Defense Development Exhibition, an event meant to mark the previous day’s 76th birthday of the ruling Workers’ Party, Kim gave a speech and showed off some serious weaponry.

In the display, was an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that North Korea has already test-launched and displayed at military parades in the past.

That missile, the Hwasong-16, is considered to be the North’s biggest-yet ICBM.

According to Seoul’s Unification Ministry, Monday’s weapons exhibition was the first of its kind since Kim took power in 2011.

The display was Kim’s message to the US, who he has accused of creating tensions and not taking action to prove it has no hostile intent toward the North, state media reported Tuesday.

For that, he has also vowed to ramp up an “invincible” military, with a couple of his men doing high-flying martial arts kicks and launching themselves headfirst into concrete bricks at the exhibition.

Bizzare.

In an apparent continued effort to drive a wedge between Washington and Seoul, Kim also said his drive to build up his military isn’t targeted at South Korea and that there shouldn’t be another war pitting Korean people against each other.

“The U.S. has frequently signalled it’s not hostile to our state, but there is no action-based evidence to make us believe that they are not hostile,” Kim said, according to the official Korean Central News Agency. “The U.S. is continuing to create tensions in the region with its wrong judgments and actions.”

Calling the United States a “source” of instability on the Korean Peninsula, Kim said his country’s most important objective is possessing an “invincible military capability” that no one can dare challenge.

Yikes, times a million.
