U.S. Is Arch Criminal Disturbing Peace, Stability: KCNA Commentary

Pyongyang, September 6 (KCNA) -- Though the U.S. tries hard to paint its joint military drill as a "defensive one," it can never cover up its criminal nature. The just ended U.S.-south Korea joint military drill was a nuclear war drill to conquer the DPRK by force of arms and establish military hegemony in the Asia-Pacific region from A to Z. It was clearly evidenced by the goal and contents of the drill staged pursuant to operation plan and its ever-escalating scale and methods. An expert of the Russian Academy of Sciences said: The U.S. advertises that the Ulji Freedom Guardian is "one for protecting democracy" but it is quite different from its "defensive purpose" as the drill scenarios including "the operation for occupying Pyongyang" and "beheading operation" for "removing the leadership of the DPRK at a single stroke" are obviously offensive ones. The aim of the drill is to put the DPRK into an unendurable position to facilitate its "collapse" and achieve the "German-style unification through absorption". Xinhua News noted that the joint military drill the U.S. and south Korea stage every year, steadily escalating their scale, are increasing the possibility of military conflict on the Korean peninsula and threatening peace and stability in Northeast Asia. An expert of California University said that the U.S. and south Korea should make a policy switchover, not clinging to muscle flexing causing military tension but recognizing the desire of the Korean people to live in peace. The U.S. is the arch criminal escalating the tension on the Korean peninsula and creating instability in the region. The army and people of the DPRK will strongly react to the U.S. hostile moves and nuclear threat including war drills by dint of its treasured sword--nuclear weapons. -0-
