Rodong Sinmun Wednesday observes this in a signed commentary.

It is shameless for the puppets to step up their arms buildup at an unprecedented tempo under the pretext of the above-said measures of the DPRK, the commentary notes.

It cites facts to prove that the U.S. and its puppet Lee Myung Bak regime are entirely to blame for the present grave tension on the Korean Peninsula.

It should not be overlooked under any circumstances that the puppets are kicking up a racket for introducing more ultra-modern war hardware to south Korea at a time when they have become evermore undisguised in their moves to hurt fellow countrymen by force of arms, backed by outside forces, the commentary notes, and goes on:

The Lee Myung Bak group is making bluffing, while frantically pursuing confrontation and a war against the DPRK, counting on its U.S. master. This reminds one of a puppy knowing no fear of a tiger.

Neither "U.S. military protection" on which the Lee group of traitors pins so strong hope nor latest weapons would prove effective in face of the powerful military power of the DPRK, a product of the Songun politics.

The Lee group would be well advised to stop its reckless military provocations, bearing in mind that its arms buildup would only lead to self-destruction.
