Rodong Sinmun on Tuesday observes in a by-lined commentary in this regard:

The present conservative ruling forces which earned ill-fame for being the most vicious anti-reunification and confrontation group in history never miss the chance to talk about "unification" but they do this, not prompted by any desire for reunification.

The "unification of systems" much touted by the Lee group is a product of its wild ambition to stifle the DPRK, the commentary notes, and goes on:

The Korean nation's cause of reunification is, in essence, the one of rejoining the blood ties of the nation divided into the north and the south by outside forces and achieving the national unity.

The conservative group's loud-mouthed "unification of systems" will only lead to a war as it is quite contrary to the wishes and desire of the fellow countrymen.

The puppet forces are behaving foolishly, dreaming of what they called "contingency".

It is only south Korea where contingency will take place.

The DPRK hopes for improved north-south relations and national reunification but will never pardon anyone who goes mad with the moves to escalate the confrontation of the systems, defiling the dignity and system of the DPRK in utter disregard of national reconciliation, unity and reunification.
