Minju Joson Thursday observes in a by-lined commentary carried in this connection:

The U.S. and south Korean warmongers' much ado about "threat of nuclear weapons from north Korea" reminds one of a thief crying "Stop the thief!"

They are raising a hue and cry over such threat, while leaving their crimes on the shelf. This is nothing but rhetoric to mislead the public opinion at home and abroad and justify and push forward the preparations for a preemptive nuclear attack on the DPRK.

The agreement adopted at the meeting called for staging the above-said exercise from this year and taking counter-actions on the basis of the application of specific operation means after conducting twice or thrice drills of the same form.

This means that they are set to go over to an actual war while staging "operation exercises" with all latest type military hardware including nuclear weapons involved under the pretext of "threat of nuclear weapons from north Korea" unlike the past when they staged war exercises for aggression against the DPRK under the signboard of "defense."

They intend to ignite a nuclear war against the DPRK under the above-said pretext, the commentary notes, and goes on:

The south Korean puppet forces were in such poor shape as to visit the U.S. for a confab on preemptive nuclear attack, bringing into bolder relief their true colors as traitors making desperate efforts to bring a nuclear disaster to the fellow countrymen.

The situation on the Korean Peninsula is deteriorating day by day due to the warmongers responding to the sincere efforts of the DPRK to improve the north-south relations with the above-said confab in collusion with outside forces.

The U.S. and the south Korean warmongers will meet only self-destruction, should they put the above-said scenario into practice.
