South Korea-U.S. Joint Military Exercises under Fire
Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)
Pyongyang, February 19 (KCNA) -- Recently the South Korea-U.S. "Combined Forces Command" officially announced its plan to stage military exercises, a combination of "Key Resolve" and "Foal Eagle," throughout south Korea from March 2 to 7.
Rodong Sinmun today observes in a signed article carried in this regard:
The above-said joint military exercises are very provocative war maneuvers to be staged under the simulated conditions of an attack on the north.
"Key Resolve" is just the same as the previous RSOI in contents as it is nothing but a new codename.
These war maneuvers are to be staged in parallel with ill-famed "Foal Eagle" joint military exercises, large-scale combined field mobile drills, just as what took place before.
These facts eloquently prove that the DPRK-targeted joint military exercises projected by the military authorities of the United States and south Korea will remain the same in their aggressive nature as they were before.
The relations of confidence have not yet been established between the DPRK and the U.S. as their forces are leveling their guns at each other. Any provocative war exercises to be staged against the other side under this situation would only stoke its distrust and confrontation and they may easily develop into an all-out war. This is more likely as the U.S. conservative hard-liners, having bitterness towards the DPRK, are watching for a chance to torpedo the process of dialogue and ignite a war of aggression against it. Herein lies the danger of the projected saber rattling.
The reality clearly proves that the United States and its lackeys the south Korean warmongers have always been chiefly to blame for blocking the Koreans' cause of independent reunification and bringing the danger of war, concludes the article.
