Shortly ago, the U.S. and south Korean puppet group cooked up a "joint plan to cope with the provocation of a local war," escalating the danger of a war.

The joint plan signed by the commander of the U.S. forces in south Korea and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of south Korea calls on the U.S. forces to automatically get involved in the conflict in case of the north's "provocation of a local war" and thus jointly counter it together with the south Korean puppet army.

The plan for aggression elaborates on the contents of the operation and proposals on joint counteraction.

In this regard, the south Korean puppet group claims that a legal and institutional mechanism has been provided to ensure the U.S. forces' automatic involvement in the local war, the U.S. agreed with the principle on striking not only the base of provocations and supporting and commanding forces and that it has become possible to make a prompt and decisive counteraction against any provocation by the north.

All these facts brought the U.S. hypocrisy to daylight and proved that the U.S. and south Korea are the root cause and chieftain of the provocation of a local war.

The above-said joint plan is a very dangerous document for invading the DPRK and an open declaration of a war of aggression against it.

Any conflict on the Korean Peninsula will immediately lead to an all-out war and a nuclear war, not confined to a local war.

The Armistice Agreement, the north-south agreements on nonaggression and the joint declaration on denuclearization of the peninsula were totally nullified due to the grave provocations of the U.S. and the puppet group. Consequently, there is no mechanism to deter a war.

Worse still, the U.S. and puppet warmongers are openly hatching sinister plots to bring down the statues of the great Generalissimos and monuments to them, symbols of the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK. In order to counter these moves, the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army has already declared military actions against the U.S. mainland and the bases of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces in Hawaii, Guam and the Pacific, to say nothing of the military targets and enemy ruling institutions in south Korea.

Have the U.S. and puppet warmongers imagined what catastrophic consequences to be entailed by the "joint plan for countering the provocation of a local war" at this time?

They are seriously mistaken if they try to threaten the DPRK with such farce.

The hatred and resentment of the DPRK's army and people are running high.

The signing of the plan will increase the justice of practical military actions of the DPRK which keeps not only Chongwadae in Seoul but the White House in Washington within the coordinates of high precision strikes. It is a foolish dream for the puppet group to seek a way out by clinging to coattails of the U.S.

The U.S. nuclear umbrella will never help protect the puppet group as it will prove ineffective in face of the powerful nuclear strikes of the DPRK.

The DPRK's army and people which launched a final sacred war to defend the sovereignty of the country and the dignity of its supreme leadership will make a clean sweep of the U.S., the ringleader of aggression, and the pro-U.S. puppet warmongers from the surface of the earth.
