According to the article I saw, the text over the New York in flames footage suggested that the nest of wickedness was in flames /by their own hands./ That suggests to me that the point of the video is this: by the time the North Korean space program reaches the reusable shuttle stage, the US will have collapsed via internal civil war; since (in their opinion) the only thing blocking the peaceful reunification of Korea is that the US military is propping up right-wing regimes in Seoul, then they are predicting that the day that the US military is recalled to fight in its own civil war will be the day that peace comes to Korea.

I don’t share their confidence that North Korea will ever build their own shuttle. I do find their idea that the US could have another civil war terrifyingly plausible, though, and they probably are right that a US civil war would probably result, for them locally, in the fall of South Korea. I think it’s crazy to suggest that the result would be peaceful, jubilant crowds in the former South Korean happily waving the new flag of the reunited peninsula. But it doesn’t strike me as an entirely crazy thing for them to dream about.

But there is a big difference between having a country where there are creeps and cranks who fetishsize destruction and a country where official government organs put out bizarre stuff like this.
