Rodong Sinmun Slams U.S. New War Scenario against DPRK

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, May 15 (KCNA) -- "OPLAN 5029-05", a new war scenario against the DPRK recently worked out by the U.S. and south Korea, invests the U.S. armed forces stationed in south Korea with the right to command all military operations under a " special situation." The previous "operational plans" called on the U.S. Pacific Command to supervise the start of a war of aggression against the DPRK. However, the U.S.-south Korea "Combined Forces Command" is now given the mandate not only to work out a war scenario against the DPRK but carry out operations under the new scenario.
    Herein lie the nature and danger of "OPLAN 5029-05" quite different from the previous plans.
    Rodong Sinmun Sunday observes this in a signed article. This indicates that "OPLAN 5029-05" is an extremely dangerous war scenario against the DPRK as it is aimed at deliberately creating a war atmosphere and sparking a military clash in the Korean Peninsula on its own initiative, the article says.
    The new war scenario is more specific in its content and more feasible in practice than the previous ones, it notes, and goes on:
    This scenario calls on the U.S. imperialists to increase the numerical strength of the U.S. forces by 690,000 including a ground unit capable of staging a rapid three-dimensional mobile operation in concert with the U.S. troops in south Korea, a carrier flotilla capable of conducting a three-dimensional naval operation, an air force for striking at the depth of the "enemy" and naval task forces present in Okinawa and in the U.S. mainland in case of a contingency on the Korean Peninsula.
    The U.S.-south Korea joint exercises codenamed RSOI and Foal Eagle, etc. were staged under "OPLAN 5029-05". This war scenario is aimed at bringing down the system in the DPRK.
    Then why is the U.S. working so hard to overthrow the system? This is because the U.S. offensive to pressurize the DPRK is going bust, finds itself in a pretty fix, hard hit and exhausted by its tough actions.
    It is the revolutionary spirit of the army and people of the DPRK and their mode of counter-action for just self-defence to return fire for fire and mercilessly punish the provocateurs.
