Jon Stewart has a message for North Korea: “Your war-mongering’s a little retro,” mocking Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un’s binoculars and the North Korean army’s training exercises.
“Look, I don’t know if you know this,” says Stewart, “but we’ve moved on from that Patton thing. War is a little more modern, now.”
