ROCKET MAN BLUES: Social Media Viral Trend Shows NK’s Kim Jong-Un ‘Sad’ Because Everyone Is Firing Missiles but Him,
Rocket Man has been left out of the ‘missile party’.
By all rights, people online had every reason to feel anxious—or even panicked—as missile and drone strikes escalate, not just between the US, Israel, and Iran, but also in conflicts like Russia versus Ukraine and Pakistan against Afghanistan.
Yet, amid the tension, many social media users are showing an impressive ability to handle stress with humor, finding ways to laugh even in the shadow of what feels like an impending WW3.

One viral trend in the past few days perfectly captures this: users are posting memes and videos joking about how North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un—playfully dubbed “Rocket Man” by President Donald J. Trump—is feeling left out, since everyone else seems to be exchanging missile strikes while he sits on the sidelines.
Below is a curated (though far from exhaustive) collection of these memes and clips, offering a humorous lens on a very serious topic. Enjoy!
