Kim Jong Un tests a scary missile and makes his ambitions clear: He wants to be Tom Cruise in ‘Top Gun.' This week’s missile test was a horror. Opinion by vinaymenon

It might save millions of lives. The world is in a dark place. You’ve got psychopath Vladimir Putin committing hourly war crimes in Ukraine. You’ve got Taliban lunatics trying to relegate Afghans — especially females — to the Middle Ages.On Thursday, North Korea casually tested its Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile as if it was a new food truck. This “monster missile,” the size of a skyscraper, can be armed with nuclear warheads. According to Reuters: “The Hwasong-17 flew for 67.

There were five different angles of blast-off, including an aerial tracking shot that, honestly, was technically kind of cool. Well, cool until you remember this video is supposed to be a dramatic PSA alerting us to our impending doom. So not cool.
