OK, here's the deal.

Kim Jong-un has more or less gone mad today, with the North Korean military warning that war could break out "today or tomorrow". Nukes are pointed at America. It's all very scary.



This video is our attempt to make sense of all that.



The obvious ploy on a news website like this would have been to enlist a foreign affairs expert.



That expert could have explained whether this is all elaborate posturing by Kim Jong-un in the name of domestic popularity, or a serious attempt to destroy the evil capitalist west.



But then we thought, no one really knows what the guy is up to, so we'll try to explain this delicate, possibly world-ending situation, through the lens of pop culture.



There is obviously no suggestion that the original Gangnam Style song had anything to with North Korea or Kim Jong-un.



We hope.
