In this regard, Rodong Sinmun Monday observes in a bylined commentary:

The arms sale is intended not only to gratify the greed of Northrope Graman, munitions monopoly linked with the U.S. Defense Department, but also to increase the ability of collecting information about the DPRK.

The U.S. warlike forces' sinister intention is to prepare the south Korean warmongers and the Japanese reactionaries, who regard the confrontation with the DPRK as their mode of existence, as a shock brigade for realizing its hostile policy toward the DPRK and ignite a war against it.

The DPRK's political, military and economic potentials have shown substantial increase and its over-all might has been strikingly demonstrated in various fields.

The U.S. authorities are fearful of this and making desperate efforts to stifle the DPRK. The U.S. has put forward south Korea and its other allies to the forefront of escalating the confrontation with the DPRK and worked hard to realize the ambition to dominate the world while preventing a war on its mainland and minimizing damage to be inflicted upon it.

The U.S. ruling forces have pushed the confrontation with the DPRK to an extreme phase in a bid to render the situation on the Korean Peninsula seriously tense and create favorable conditions for realizing their ambition for dominating the Asia-Pacific region under this pretext.

Even though the U.S. persistently pursues reckless hostile policy toward the DPRK by instigating its allies, the U.S. will get nothing but unimaginable disaster.

The present era is different from that in the 1950s when the U.S. ignited the Korean war while ensuring the security of its mainland.
