North Korea calls Japan’s Shinzo Abe an ‘imbecile and political dwarf’

North Korean state media on Friday blasted Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as an “imbecile and political dwarf” after Abe suggested the country fired ballistic missiles in their most recent weapons test.

North Korea’s insult comes after the country successfully tested a “super-large” rocket launcher this week, suggesting it may be deployed in their military soon.

Abe described the test as a ballistic missile launch — and said it poses a threat to Japan and the international community.

North Korea’s KCNA news agency responded with the insult in a statement Friday — and threatened Japan that they may see what an actual ballistic missile from the country soon.

“It can be said that Abe is the only one idiot in the world and the most stupid man ever known in history as he fails to distinguish a missile from multiple launch rocket system while seeing the photo-accompanied report,” the state media agency said.

“Abe may see what a real ballistic missile is in the not distant future and under his nose … Abe is none other than a perfect imbecile and a political dwarf without parallel in the world,” it added.
