Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Monday observes as follows:

That the U.S. and its south Korean puppet trigger-happy forces seek the joint military exercises with a nuclear carrier involved is the revelation of the bellicose attempt to escalate the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the extreme pitch of tension, prevent the dialogue and peace from progressing and attain the ambition for invading the DPRK by openly threatening it with nukes.

The south Korean puppet regime plans to deploy the nuclear carrier in waters off south Korea in collusion with the U.S. in a futile bid to frighten the DPRK.

The DPRK will never be browbeaten by it or any other things more powerful than it.

It has all means and forces to cope with any adventurous nuclear war scenarios of the U.S. and the puppet forces. It is fully ready to show its mettle to the bellicose forces running amuck by counting on the nuclear carrier.

The regime would be well advised to be well aware that it is fated to meet the complete ruin which can never be recovered by the nuclear carrier and anything else more powerful than it if it continues pursuing reckless military provocations against the DPRK, backed by its American master.
