Recent U.S.-S. Korea War Exercises Termed Reckless Saber Rattling

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

   Pyongyang, August 27 (KCNA) -- The madcap Ulji Freedom Guardian joint military exercises staged by the U.S. bellicose forces and the south Korean warmongers recently were a grave military provocation to the DPRK and a blatant challenge to the desire of the world peace-loving people for detente and peace on the Korean Peninsula, says Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a signed article.
    The prevailing situation clearly proves that the U.S. loudmouthed "peace", "stability" and "improved relations" are nothing but an empty talk to hoodwink the public at home and abroad and that there is no change in its scenario for aggression to stifle the DPRK by force of arms, the article notes, and goes on:
    The U.S. war-like forces' reckless and dangerous moves for a war of aggression against the DPRK are further increasing the danger of military conflicts and a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula, beclouding the prospect of settling the nuclear issue.
    If it is true that the U.S. has no intention to invade the DPRK and desires peace on the peninsula, it should stop saber rattling targeted against the DPRK in south Korea and its vicinity but take practical measures for ensuring durable peace.
    The U.S. is staging frantic war exercises against the DPRK behind the scene of "dialogue," escalating the military tensions on the peninsula. The people of the DPRK are highly vigilant against this double-dealing tactics of the U.S.
    It is thanks to the DPRK's positive peace-loving efforts that a war has been averted and peace preserved on the Korean Peninsula.
    The military racket kicked up by the U.S. bellicose forces against the DPRK, going against the spirit of the six-party talks, is aimed to bring the situation on the peninsula to the phase of acute confrontation and secure a pretext for igniting a war.
    Now that the military threat of the U.S. bellicose forces persists it is the inviolable right of the sovereign DPRK to bolster its war deterrent in every way.
    The U.S. should make a switchover in its policy towards the DPRK as called for by the people desirous of peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and peace in Asia and the rest of the world.
