U.S. Madcap War Maneuvers against DPRK under Fire

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, March 27 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article brands the U.S. imperialists' RSOI and Foal Eagle joint military exercises in south Korea as a test war, a preliminary war aimed to militarily threaten and blackmail the DPRK and launch a preemptive strike against it. Noting that the U.S. imperialists are now going to provoke another war of aggression in the Korean peninsula by applying the same method of "preemptive attack" to the DPRK as they used in the Iraqi war, the article goes on:
    They have massed huge forces in south Korea since the outset of the Iraqi war. They mapped out the "operation plan 5030," the "new operation plan 5026," scenarios for a war of aggression on Korea. What remains to be done is just to start a war against the DPRK.
    RSOI and Foal Eagle are to serve this purpose. The on-going war exercises can not but be very dangerous military moves.
    The international community wishes for a peaceful negotiated solution to the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. The countries concerned are working for it. But, the U.S. is conducting a test war targeted against its dialogue partner against this backdrop. This is a very disturbing and reckless move. These war maneuvers are undisguised challenge and perfidy to the international community and the countries concerned in their efforts to seek a peaceful negotiated solution to the nuclear issue.
    The U.S. war drills are aimed to scuttle dialogue and harass peace. It is the ulterior motive of the U.S. not to ensure peace on the Korean peninsula but to stifle the DPRK, not to seek a negotiated solution to the nuclear issue but to step up the preparations for a war behind the curtain of talks, waste time and mount a sudden preemptive attack on the DPRK. The U.S. is set to bring down the DPRK by force of arms. RSOI and Foal Eagle joint military drills can be termed as a preemptive military operation aimed to carry out its strategy towards Korea, high-handed military actions. There is no guarantee that the on-going war maneuvers will not go over to an actual war. The U.S. imperialists' war racket intended to extremely rattle the nerves of their dialogue partner, chill the atmosphere of the talks and launch a war will get them to nowhere.
    The U.S. should be held accountable for the serious consequences to be entailed by this reckless saber rattling and should stop acting rashly.
