Rodong Sinmun Slams US Nimitz's Entry into Pusan Port

Pyongyang, May 13 (KCNA) -- U.S. super-large nuclear carrier Nimitz entered Pusan Port of south Korea on Saturday. It was reported that the U.S. nuclear carrier task group made up of Nimitz, Aegis destroyers and missile cruisers would be involved in the joint naval drills with the south Korean puppet forces in the East Sea of Korea. South Korea is expected to hurl huge armed forces including Aegis destroyers, 214-class submarines, destroyers and sea-patrol planes into the naval maneuvers.

Rodong Sinmun Monday observes in a bylined commentary in this regard: Nimitz's entry into Pusan Port against the backdrop of the extreme tension prevailing on the Korean Peninsula is not a simple issue to be overlooked.

Nimitz's portcall means a fresh tinderbox to escalate the tension and ignite a nuclear war against the DPRK, to all intents and purposes.

The U.S. and south Korean puppet forces are playing sleight of hand to create impression that they want detente, asserting that they "keep the door open for dialogue". But the reality goes to prove that what they seek is confrontation and war, not dialogue and detente.

"Dialogue" and "trust" touted by the American master and his stooge in Washington shortly ago is nothing but poor rhetoric to cover up their true colors as warmongers.

The U.S. and south Korean authorities are not interested in dialogue and detente on the Korean Peninsula in the least.

They are the arch criminals who are escalating the tension by bringing the danger of a nuclear war to the peninsula,

If they dare preempt strikes on the DPRK, misjudging its will, they will entail disastrous consequences.
