U.S. Joint Naval Exercise in Tokyo Bay under Fire

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, October 28 (KCNA) -- The U.S.-led joint naval exercise that has been under way in Tokyo Bay of Japan since Oct. 26 is by no means a simple naval maneuver but a reckless preliminary war against the DPRK as it is aimed to lay a siege to it and stifle it by force of arms at any cost. Rodong Sinmun Thursday says this in a signed commentary.
    It goes on:
    The objective of the exercise is to lay an international siege to the DPRK with U.S.-led allied forces involved and pressurize, blockade and contain it by force of arms.
    The U.S. is watching for a chance to stifle the DPRK by force at any cost after winding up preparations for a preemptive attack on it behind the scene of the six-party talks. The U.S. pays lip-services to "peace" and "dialogue" whenever an opportunity presents itself. This is, however, nothing but hypocrisy.
    Now that the U.S. imperialists are working hard to blockade and stifle the DPRK by mobilizing multinational forces, no one can predict when they will come in attack to swallow up the DPRK unless its physical deterrent force is increased.
    Any measure taken by the DPRK to bolster its physical deterrent force is urgently required by the tense situation prevailing on the Korean Peninsula and the rest of Northeast Asia. No one is entitled to find fault with this move as it is aimed to defend the sovereignty and security of the country.
    It is improper for some forces to participate in this joint naval maneuver, chiming in with the U.S. anti-DPRK campaign. Any involvement in the U.S.-led cooperation system to stifle the DPRK would only render the situation more complicated.
    The U.S. and its allied forces had better properly understand the stand of the DPRK and its mode of toughest countermeasure and stop acting ashly.
