Kim Jong Un issues warning to the rest of the world after showing off new nuclear weapon

With everything going on in the world, this is not really the opportune moment for Kim Jong Un to be showing off a new nuclear weapon - but here we are.

The rather rotund North Korean dictator recently held a parade in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang, where he showed off a bunch of new weapons, including an intercontinental ballistic missile.

As the name suggests, those are the ones which can fire really far and are for shooting at other countries a long way away, or for trying to persuade those countries not to attack you, because then you'd fire the missiles at them.

This one's called the Hwasong-20, and North Korea describes it as the 'most powerful nuclear strategic weapons system' because in a dictatorship with a cult of personality, you can't ever really admit that someone else has better stuff.

The man who is large and in charge said that the North Korean military 'must continue to evolve into an invincible force', though they haven't proved to be quite that on the battlefields of Ukraine.

North Korea's military has often been mocked for having generals with so many medals you could defeat them with a decent magnet, despite them not fighting a war for yonks.

They're still technically in conflict with their southern neighbours, as an armistice was signed 72 years ago, but no official peace treaty has ever been drawn up.

Some of Kim Jong Un's soldiers have been lent to Russia as part of Vladimir Putin's ongoing unsuccessful invasion of Ukraine - and not all of them have made it back.

Still, the North Korean dictator put on a large show at which several vehicles worth of heavy ordnance trundled past crowds of people waving little flags.

Also present at the gathering were officials from China, Russia, Laos and Vietnam.

Last month, it was Chinese Premier Xi Jinping's turn to be on hosting duties as the countries have put on regular displays of military might to show what sort of hardware they've got to work with.

Elsewhere in his bizarre dictatorship, Kim has allegedly been 'cracking down on women with breast implants' as he apparently thinks enhanced breasts are 'un-socialist' and a sign of capitalist excess.

His secret agents are apparently investigating the North Korean populace for signs of rule-breaking.

Meanwhile, on a recent visit to Russia, Kim had his staff destroy all traces of his DNA evidence that he left in his wake, with them wiping down the furniture and collecting things he had touched.
