The general context of their remarks is that the next-term U.S. administration will incline to the policy of aggression that envisages isolating and stifling the DPRK with sanctions and blockade and attacking the whole Korean Peninsula by force of arms when an opportunity presents itself. In a nutshell, it is the policy of "strategic perseverance" as before.

Rodong Sinmun Sunday says in a bylined article in this regard:

It appears that the U.S. seeks to step up the moves of isolating and stifling the DPRK and wait for the "change" in the DPRK. But it is a foolish dream.

The Korean people regard the U.S. evermore intensified sanctions and blockade against the DPRK as a ridiculous action of those who are fearful of the might and invincibility of Korean-style socialist system.

Even though the U.S. applies severer sanctions and blockade against the DPRK, it can never browbeat the country. On the contrary, it could meet bigger failure.

The U.S. history of hostile policy toward the DPRK proves this.

To look back on the past, the U.S. has persistently resorted to military pressure and economic blockade policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK. In recent years its moves for sanctions against the DPRK have become craftier. It took issue with the DPRK's peaceful satellite launch and politicized and internationalized the issue even though it did not take issue with such thing by other countries. The U.S. prodded its allied forces to apply collective sanctions against the DPRK.

For decades the U.S. has unsuccessfully resorted to the moves against the DPRK. Instead, the DPRK has been catapulted to the center stage of the world.

Despite the U.S. ceaseless economic blockade and isolation, political and military pressure and threat, the DPRK has built powerful nuclear deterrent to guarantee the sovereignty of the country. The might of Songun Korea has significantly grown stronger.

The U.S. government authorities should draw a due lesson from the failure of their policy toward the north and behave with discretion, though belatedly. They have not yet come to their senses.

The U.S. is seeking to follow the past policy toward the DPRK obsessed with daydream. The DPRK's steadfast stand to it is that they may wait as long as they wish.
