Americans are asked to find North Korea on a map and you probably know where this is going

The war of words between North Korea and U.S. President Donald Trump escalated dramatically overnight, with Pyongyang threatening to carry out missile strikes on the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam.

It's the story of the day, and the majority of Americans -- a staggering 75% -- think North Korea's nuclear weapons program is a critical threat toward the United States.

Given the seriousness of the situation, you would think Americans at least knew very well where North Korea is. Like, they would be able to point it on a map while blindfolded.

Well, you're 100% wrong.

Jimmy Kimmel sent someone on Hollywood Boulevard to interview random Americans about the possible military action against the authoritarian country, and asked them to find the country on a map.

The results are, well, quite discouraging, even though the video was edited to show the worst answers. Seriously, just watch it, and despair.
