U.S.-South Korea Joint Military Exercises Denounced

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, March 15 (KCNA) -- The United States staged a large-scale military exercise in Phyongthaek area of south Korea and announced that it would launch "reception, staging, onward-movement and integration(RSOI)" and Foal Eagle military drills till late March. These military moves are dangerous ones aimed to provoke the second Korean war. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed commentary. It goes on: The U.S. warmongers have described those war exercises as ones for "rapid retaliation". This is, however, nothing but a smokescreen to cover up the aggressive nature and danger of those military exercises.
    There is no threat on the Korean peninsula that compels the U.S. to rapidly cope with.
    It admits of no argument that RSOI and Foal Eagle to be launched by the U.S. together with the south Korean army with huge armed forces and military equipment involved are comprehensive test military operations to be conducted under the simulated conditions of a preemptive nuclear attack on the DPRK.
    The U.S. loudmouthed negotiated settlement of the nuclear issue is a trick to ignite a war of aggression against the DPRK by aggravating the situation behind the curtain of dialogue.
    The U.S. imperialists' evermore undisguised moves to invade the DPRK are only further heightening the vigilance of its army and people against the U.S. and their anti-U.S. consciousness than ever before.
    The U.S. is sadly mistaken if it thinks it can easily realize its plan to invade the DPRK.
    The army of the DPRK which attaches importance to military affairs is fully combat-ready and will deal merciless blows at the aggressors.
