    Pyongyang, March 15 (KCNA) -- The south Korea-U.S. "Combined Forces Command" on Mar. 10 announced its plan to stage provocative joint military exercises against the DPRK. A Rodong Sinmun analyst Wednesday brands this plan of the U.S .imperialists and the south Korean war-thirsty forces' dangerous war game against the DPRK as a very grave military provocation to meddle with the cause of independent and peaceful reunification of the Korean nation, push the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the brink of war and ignite a war of aggression against the DPRK.
    Terming RSOI and "Foal Eagle" a test nuclear war and a preliminary war to invade the DPRK little different from the "Team Spirit" joint military exercises in their scale, nature and scenario, the analyst goes on:
    Unusually tense is the situation on the Korean Peninsula over the nuclear issue. The Bush administration has brought the six-party talks for a peaceful solution to the nuclear issue to a stalemate by imposing financial sanctions against the DPRK under false charges of "counterfeit notes" and "illegal dealing". The untenable sanctions and pressure are delaying the resumption of the six-party talks and the peaceful settlement of the nuclear issue. The U.S., however, does not show any sign of their withdrawal. On the contrary, they are going to escalate military threat and pressure against the DPRK through large-scale joint military exercises.
    The reality gives a clear answer as to who is the one beclouding the prospect of the six-party talks and bedeviling the improvement of the north-south relations and who is the belligerent force screwing up confrontation and tension on the Korean Peninsula to a new fever pitch and driving the situation to the brink of war. The U.S. imperialists' persistent moves to start a reckless war for aggression will force the army and people of the DPRK to step up all the steps to defend sovereignty under the banner of Songun. If the aggressors dare provoke a war, the Korean army and people will deal merciless annihilating retaliatory blows at them and uproot the danger of a war in this land.
    The south Korean bellicose forces betraying the nation while cooperating with the aggressors from outside will never go scot-free, either.
