U.S. Hit for Tensions on Korean Peninsula

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, April 11 (KCNA) -- The situation on the Korean peninsula is very tense, which is attributable to the United States that is bringing the situation to the brink of war with escalated dangerous military rackets, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article. The U.S., Japan and south Korea stage more than 100 joint military maneuvers from the beginning of every year to the end in and around south Korea, the article says, and goes on:
    The maneuvers under way in south Korea may lead to a real war any moment, which are a tinderbox of another Korean war and world war. That is what the arrogant U.S. imperialists seek. The immediate purpose of the U.S. is to ignite a war of aggression on the Korean peninsula in the wake of the Iraqi incident. The wrong judgment that the military pressure on the DPRK through wildcat war exercises and an offensive of "dialogue and pressure" make the six-way talks favorable to the U.S. and infeasible illusions about the "upperhand in strength" prompt its reactionary ruling quarters to an adventurous new Korean war. No sooner had the talks ended than the U.S. stage large-scale war maneuvers to invade the DPRK in the sky and on the ground and seas. This clearly proves that though paying lip-services to "dialogue" and "peace", it, in actuality, seeks to unleash a war of aggression against the DPRK.
    If the U.S. tries to take a military option, ignoring the grave situation on the Korean peninsula and the good faith and magnanimity of the DPRK, it cannot but take a countermeasure.
    The U.S. should put an immediate halt to the reckless war gambling.
