The editorial warned that the gravity of the situation on the Korean peninsula lies in that the projected joint war exercises will not simply end up after escalating the tension but they may lead to unheard-of nuclear war disaster.

The editorial disclosed that the joint military maneuvers are war exercises for aggression aimed at "occupying Pyongyang".

If the authorities foolishly come out for the confrontation with the north, pursuant to the U.S. policy, they will only precipitate their own self-destruction, the editorial said, demanding a halt to the joint military exercises.
