U.S. Multinational Sea Inspection Exercise Flayed

KCNA

    Pyongyang, October 14 (KCNA) -- The United States, some time ago, staged a multinational sea inspection exercise in the waters off Australia by inveigling armed forces of its satellites. It is planning to stage such military rehearsals ten times in the future. The U.S. described the rehearsal as intended to "defend the Pacific" and "prevent the spread of mass destruction weapons" in a bid to cover up its danger. Rodong Sinmun today notes this in a signed article, and goes on:
    This assertion is nothing but a jugglery of words to mislead pubic opinions at home and abroad and such a trick cannot conceal the aggressive and provocative nature of the war game.
    The U.S.-led multinational naval exercise was an anti-DPRK military drill chiefly aimed to intercept, search and capture its ships and planes.
    The military rehearsal proves that the U.S. imperialists' blockade operation to form an international encirclement ring around the DPRK and tighten pressure on it has entered a full-dressed practical stage.
    Their blockade operation against the DPRK is designed to lay a higher economic hurdle before the DPRK, take the initiative in the solution of the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. and, moreover, prevail over the DPRK by force of arms.
    The U.S. has so far increased offensive international pressure upon the DPRK on the plea of the DPRK-U.S. nuclear standoff.
    However, it had not dared to form a united front with its allies and satellite forces and even stage a collective military blockade operation against the DPRK.
    If the U.S. imperialists wantonly violate and ditch international law and the Korean Armistice Agreement, the waters off and air above the Korean peninsula and the rest of the world will be plunged into in a grave crisis and a state of war. Herein lies the serious point of the recent multinational sea inspection exercise.
    The U.S. should ponder over the grave consequences to be entailed by the inspection racket against the DPRK and discontinue such act.
