Rodong Sinmun Tuesday observes in a commentary in this regard:

This clearly proves that the U.S. is working with bloodshot eyes to conceal its true colors as provocateur by convincing the world that its bankrupt propaganda about "threat" from the DPRK remains an established fact.

The U.S. is pulling up the DPRK over its war deterrence in a bid to form a NATO-type military bloc in the Asia-Pacific region for the purpose of containing regional big powers through military edge and realizing its ambition for domination, the commentary notes, and goes on:

The U.S. regards it as the best ideal to form NATO of Asian version in order to carry out its strategy for dominating the Asia-Pacific region.

The U.S. secretary of Defense's recent visit to Japan and south Korea was aimed to intensify the triangular cooperation in which the U.S. plays the role of midwife.

The U.S. is stepping up the conclusion of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Its scenario is designed to expand such economic bloc as TPP to a union of politics, diplomacy, etc. in a long-term plan in an effort to use it in favor of containing regional big powers and carrying out its strategy for world domination.

It is quite clear that such moves of the U.S. will result in escalating tension in the Asia-Pacific region and expand the structure of the Cold War formed on the Korean peninsula to the region.
