With tensions rising between the U.S. and North Korea, following the Asian nation’s massive display of military strength followed by a failed missile test, even veteran diplomatic analysts are guessing what the next move will be. Particularly since nuclear arsenals are involved.

But maybe the real battle will happen on the concert stage?

At least that’s what we can glean from a recently released video of what can only be described as an unusual method of saber-rattling from North Korea: A video of an opera singer, decked out in full military regalia, backed up by a full orchestra, with movie screens in the background showing well-timed images of missile launches, explosions, and a burning American flag.

Your turn, President Trump.
