Dangerous War Scheme against DPRK Lambasted

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, August 12 (KCNA) -- The south Korea-U.S. "Combined Forces Command" recently announced that the Ulji Focus Lens-04 joint military exercises will involve U.S. units present in south Korea, south Korean troops and part of the U.S. units overseas. Commenting on this, Minju Joson Thursday says:
    The command is advertising that the war game is an annual joint rehearsal aimed to assess and improve the process of the performance of joint actions.
    But it is another challenge to the DPRK which is making every possible effort to achieve peace and reunification of the country.
    The danger of the joint war game is brought into bolder relief by the fact that it is to be staged at a time when the relocation of the U.S. forces in south Korea to the south of the River Han has entered the practical stage and arms buildup is being pushed forward with extra zeal under the pretext of "filling up the vacuum".
    The U.S. strategy of preemptive attack on the DPRK is to deploy its troops in south Korea out of the range of the retaliatory strike of the DPRK and arm them with latest types of means of war to increase their maneuverability and strike power, conclude the war by blitz warfare through surprise attacks from the sky and sea and thus realize their designs of aggression.
    The projected rehearsal is not merely a repetition of the annual one but war maneuvers to round off the preparations for a preemptive attack on the DPRK.
    Needless to say, the exercises will create grave obstacles and difficulties in the development of the inter-Korean relations and the process of reconciliation.
    It is an anti-national act of trampling underfoot the spirit of the north-south joint declaration that the south Korean authorities are going to stage the war maneuvers against the north together with the United States.
    The U.S. imperialist aggression forces and the south Korean bellicose forces would be well advised to stop acting rashly, facing up to the revolutionary will of the army and people of the DPRK.
