Rodong Sinmun Wednesday observes in a signed commentary carried in this regard:

This is a revelation of a war scenario of those who are keen to ignite another Korean war at any cost and put the whole of Korea under their control.

Through this war the U.S. imperialists seek to boost the offensive capability of the U.S. forces present in south Korea and the south Korean puppet forces and round off the preparations for a war.

Timed to coincide with the deployment of the above-said ultra-modern sea patrol planes, the U.S imperialists and the south Korean bellicose forces are staging madcap Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises.

The U.S. bellicose forces describe the exercises as "annual drills" and " defensive ones" but this is nothing but hypocritical rhetoric intended to cover up the offensive and aggressive nature of the exercises and their danger.

The on-going exercises have rendered the situation on the Korean Peninsula so tense that it is beyond control and the military confrontation has gone into extremes.

The situation made it clearer that the U.S. is not in a position to ensure peace and realize denuclearization on the peninsula and build confidence between the DPRK and the U.S.

The U.S. is busy beefing up its forces and staging war exercises targeted at the dialogue partner while paying lip service to the "dialogue" with an axe to grind. This is nothing but crafty and brazenfaced double dealing tactics to achieve its criminal purpose with ease from a carrot-and-stick approach.

Noting that the situation is growing more serious due to the U.S. adventurous war racket, the commentary warns that the U.S. will be wholly to blame for the ensuing consequences.
