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

This indicates that the Japanese reactionaries' scenario to stage a comeback to Korea has reached a very grave phase.

Japan was zealously involved in the monstrous crimes committed by the U.S. imperialists during the past Korean War.

The Japanese militarist forces with such crime-woven history behind are working hard to stage a comeback to Korea under a war umbrella of the U.S. again in the new century. This is clearly evidenced by the above-mentioned fact.

Such moves of Japan cannot be construed otherwise than a very grave and serious development. One can observe that Japan's moves to hurl the SDF into the Korean front in "contingency" on the peninsula are a prelude to the Japanese militarist forces' war.

The Japanese reactionaries-loudmouthed "tightened alliance" and "counteraction" to cope with the situation in the vicinity of Japan are, in essence, a call for reinvasion and a slogan of war.

If they ignite the second Korean War in league with the U.S. imperialists at any cost, the army and people of the DPRK will give vent to the pent-up hatred for Japan and deal a merciless sledge-hammer blow at the aggressors.

The Japanese militarist forces had better not misjudge the warnings of the DPRK.
