Rodong Sinmun Tuesday observes this in an article. Their muscle flexing taught a serious lesson that neither dialogue nor negotiations nor improved relations are possible under the situation where the U.S. and south Korean puppet group stage military exercises for invading the DPRK, the article notes, and goes on:

Dialogue can never go together with war exercises.

There is in south Korea a rumor that the end of Foal Eagle would help defuse the tension and pave the way for dialogue.

However, it is too early to expect dialogue, cooperation and improved relations now that the south Korean authorities show no willingness to terminate the military exercises with the U.S.

They plan to stage Ulji Freedom Guardian military drills in south Korea from coming August which is little short of Key Resolve and Foal Eagle.

It is the height of shamelessness for the south Korean authorities to talk about "dialogue and cooperation", feigning ignorance of the dangerous saber-rattling staged by them with the U.S. to carry out their sinister scenario for invading the DPRK.

They should draw a due lesson from the catastrophic consequences entailed by their reckless military exercises against the DPRK and make a bold decision to put an end to them before talking about "dialogue".

They had better behave themselves, facing up to the trend of the times and the desire of the compatriots.
