U.S. Urged not to Misjudge DPRK's Will

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, October 30 (KCNA) -- Armed forces of the United States and its allies staged a madcap "joint naval exercise" in Tokyo Bay recently, pursuant to the "PSI." In this regard Bolton, U.S. under-secretary of State, at a recent press conference admitted that the main purpose of the exercise was to "strongly warn north Korea and those enterprises related to it as they are involved in the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction."
    Commenting on this, Minju Joson Saturday says that the DPRK can never remain an onlooker to this maneuver as it is a direct product of the hostile policy pursued by the Bush administration toward the DPRK in a bid to escalate its moves to isolate and stifle the former in view of the venue of the exercise, its scale, timing, etc.
    The naval exercise assumes more dangerous nature as it was timed to coincide with the U.S. extreme escalation of tensions on the Korean Peninsula, the news analyst points out, and continues:
    The fact that Japan hosted the recent maneuver targeted against the DPRK, pursuant to the U.S. hostile policy toward it, is a wanton violation of the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration.
    The DPRK clarified more than once that it would regard any sanctions and blockade against it as a declaration of war.
    Unshakable is the determination of the army and the people of the DPRK to increase the self-defensive deterrent force in order to defend the sovereignty and dignity of the country.
    The U.S. would be well advised to behave itself, pondering over the serious consequences to be entailed by such reckless moves for sanctions against the DPRK as the "joint naval exercise."
