US-S. Korea Wholly to Blame for Escalated Tension and Danger of War
Pyongyang, November 29 (KCNA) -- The U.S. and the south Korean authorities, its followers, are the arch criminals disturbing peace and security on the Korean Peninsula, says Rodong Sinmun Monday in a signed article.

The U.S. and the south Korean warmongers are escalating confrontation and tension through ceaseless moves to ignite a war, seriously disturbing peace and security on the Korean Peninsula, the article notes, and goes on:

The south Korean puppet forces perpetrated a grave military provocation while frantically staging war exercises for aggression against the DPRK in the area very close to its territory despite its sincere efforts to defuse the tension on the peninsula and improve the inter-Korean relations. This clearly proves that it was none other than these forces who escalated the confrontation and tension on the peninsula and brought the danger of a nuclear war to it.

It is attributable to the U.S. hostile policy of aggression towards the DPRK that the peace and security on the peninsula are exposed to a grave threat.

The vicious moves of the U.S. and the south Korean ruling forces in league with it to start a war of aggression against the DPRK are the main factor of driving the situation on the peninsula to a serious catastrophe.

The military provocation committed by the puppet forces in the waters around Yonphyong Island was by no means accidental.

It was part of the adventurous scenario to provoke a war of aggression against the DPRK which has long been in the making and a deliberate and premeditated move to derail the process for improving the inter-Korean relations and do harm to the DPRK by force of arms at any cost.

The U.S. has frantically stepped up the preparations for a war of aggression against the DPRK, while staying in south Korea for several decades. The aim sought by the U.S. is to keep Korea indefinitely divided and put the whole of the Korean Peninsula and the rest of Northeast Asia under its unchallenged control with south Korea as its military base and springboard. Prompted by such sinister aim, the U.S. is noisily talking about the fictitious threat from someone while posing a constant military threat to the DPRK under the pretext of coping with it.

The warlike forces of the U.S. and south Korea are driving the situation to an uncontrollable catastrophe under the pretext of the recent incident in a bid to impose a nuclear war disaster on the Korean nation without hesitation.

This is, however, a serious miscalculation. The warlike forces will never go scot-free while making desperate efforts to ignite a war of aggression against the DPRK on this land at any cost.
