WATCH: New North Korea Internet Video Shows Obama, U.S. Troops Up in Flames

You?ve already destroyed New York City in a rocket attack that looks suspiciously like one from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.?What do you do for an encore? If you?re?North Korea?s semiofficial?Uriminzokkiri news website, you follow up with a propaganda video?that depicts President Obama and U.S. troops on fire and what may be an animation of a nuclear device launching.

Titled ?Thanks to the Americans,? this video comes a week after North Korea conducted its third nuclear test on Feb. 12, and appears to blame the U.S. for the Hermit Kingdom?s pursuit of weapons of mass destruction. The New York Times sums up the text:

?It is not incorrect to say that the United States? gangster-like policy of hostility prompted us to become a most strong military power,? says the text that scrolls across the screen. ?Thus it can be said that it was ?thanks to? the Americans that we conducted a nuclear test.?

Once again, however, Pyongyang?s propaganda masters needed a little help to get their message across. While Uriminzokkiri?s earlier video was taken down after a?copyright complaint from Call of Duty gamemaker Activision,?Global Post reports the latest clip lifted its music from the soundtrack of the video game Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
