Such behaviors were indicative of the dangerous scenario of the U.S. imperialists to provoke a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula at any cost, Rodong Sinmun Monday points out in a signed commentary.

It says:

The U.S. and south Korea have called "military committee", "consultative meeting on security matters" and the like every year, changing venues. However, the recent war confab is unprecedented in the light of provocative nature and danger.

The U.S. boldly unveiled its design to invade the DPRK by hinting that it would feed into the second Korean war, to be provoked by it, not only the existing wartime reinforcements but also the U.S. forces deployed across the world.

What should not be overlooked is that the said "joint statement" specifies the "extended deterrent", a military conception that was represented for the first time in a "joint statement" of the U.S.-south Korea "security consultative meeting" in 2006.

The U.S. oft-repeated call for "dialogue" is nothing but a deceptive trick intended to disarm and stifle the DPRK.

It is the height of folly for the U.S. to calculate that it would get something through the preemptive nuclear attack.

The DPRK's nuclear deterrent will be bolstered if the U.S. persists in the nuclear confrontation without willingness to make a switchover in its policy of aggression on the DPRK.
