U.S. Massive Deployment of Forces in Waters around Korean Peninsula Flayed

Pyongyang, June 23 (KCNA) -- The U.S. 7th fleet combat group led by nuclear-powered carrier Ronald Regan left its mainland by an order of the U.S. military to immediately go into action in the waters around the Korean Peninsula. And 12 F-22s were newly deployed in the Kadena base of Japan and the U.S. ground forces present in south Korea were put on emergency alert.

Minju Joson Tuesday observes in a signed commentary in this regard:

These moves rendered the situation on the Korean Peninsula so strained that the serious political and military tension there reminds one of the eve of a war.

It is none other than the U.S. that has pushed the situation on the peninsula to such acute phase of confrontation.

The U.S. administration has hatched plots to disarm the DPRK and stamp out its ideology and bring down its system in the end prompted by its inveterate hostility toward it.

At present the U.S. is busy rapidly dispatching the U.S. forces claimed to be the most elite military group to areas around the peninsula in a bid to browbeat the DPRK. But, this is no more than disgraceful behavior of the stupid.

"Sanctions" and pressure oft-repeated by the U.S. can never work on the DPRK. It is the mode of counteraction of the DPRK based on the Songun politics to resolutely counter the U.S. "sanctions" with retaliation and "confrontation" with all-out confrontation.

The U.S. would be well advised to stop its foolish acts and drop at once its futile hostile policy toward the DPRK.
