Trump Should Cool His Head and Face up to Reality: KCNA Commentary

Pyongyang, December 19 (KCNA) -- Such opinion that Trump might order a preemptive attack on the DPRK is widely spreading among former and incumbent officials of the U.S. administration, media and experts recently. Those concerned of the U.S. Department of Defense think that the possibility of an armed clash on the Korean peninsula with a U.S. preemptive attack next year is 40 to 50 percent, and some former officials of the Department of State comment that the possibility of a war between the DPRK and the U.S. is more than it. Recalling Trump's recent special meeting with some hard-liners insisting on a preemptive attack on the DPRK, U.S. media are claiming "the war chariot of the Trump administration began to move" and "it is reminiscent of the Bush administration preparing for a war against Iraq." In view of the present situation, there is widespread concern and criticism among Americans that "if a war with north Korea breaks out, a disaster more terrible than the one during the Second World War might be brought to the U.S. mainland" and "it will cause such a disastrous result as killing of up to two million in the U.S., south Korea and Japan. The U.S. magazine News Week reported the opinion poll results that two third of the Americans remain averse to the war with the DPRK. The right to preemptive attack is not exclusive to the U.S. The U.S. should cool-headedly face up to the reality that the iron-willed DPRK's preemptive nuclear attack against provocateurs is just not hot air. -0-
