Rodong Sinmun Monday says in a signed commentary:

The U.S. imperialists are mulling staging provocative war exercises by mobilizing huge mobile task forces to put a military pressure upon the DPRK and, at the same time, launch an actual war for invading it any moment.

The U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet forces assert that the projected war maneuvers are of "defensive nature" and "a demonstration of armed forces" in a bid to hide their offensive nature and their objective for aggression, but they can never cover up their dangerous and grave nature.

The Obama Administration seeks to ignite another Korean war while escalating the confrontation with the DPRK under the pretext of the conspiratorial case of warship sinking.

It is the scenario of the U.S. imperialists to stage the above-said maneuvers with the calculation that nothing will happen if they put their plan for military actions against the DPRK into practice on the assumption that their persistent anti-DPRK false propaganda succeeded in building international opinion that the DPRK is a "suspect."

If the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet forces dare ignite a war, misjudging the strong mental power and will of the army and the people of the DPRK, they will sternly punish the war provocateurs with a merciless retaliation, warns the commentary.
