Rodong Sinmun Wednesday observes this in a bylined article.

The anti-DPRK saber-rattling escalated by the south Korean puppet forces in cooperation with foreign forces for aggression is the source of the ever-increasing danger of war on the peninsula, says the article, adding:

To rely on outsiders for aggression, not on fellow countrymen, and tighten the "alliance" with them will only fan up mistrust and hostility. This will not help settle anything.

Blindly following outsiders only helps the U.S. tighten its control over south Korea. This is as foolish an act as pouring water to the mill for igniting a war against the DPRK.

The south Korea warmongers' cooperation with foreign forces keen to ignite a war against the DPRK is little short of an open provocation of a war.

The joint military exercises with the U.S. in south Korea have become ever more frequent since traitor Lee Myung Bak came to power, bringing their offensive nature into bolder relief.

The south Korean puppet regime is to blame for the touch-and-go situation on the Korean Peninsula as it has sought to tighten "alliance" and military cooperation with the U.S. against the DPRK, hell-bent on the moves for a war against it.

The south Korean warmongers chose the road of a war of aggression against the DPRK in reliance on cooperation and "alliance" with outsiders. This foolish act only precipitates their self-destruction

The U.S. imperialists and the south Korean belligerent forces are sadly mistaken if they calculate they can browbeat the DPRK through their saber-rattling.

It is the DPRK's independent mode of counteraction to react to military pressure with an all-out action and to nuclear threat with nuclear deterrent for self-defense.
