Rodong Sinmun Wednesday observes this in an article:

As proven by the recent revision of the "U.S.-Japan defence cooperation guidelines," the south Korean puppet group, a faithful lackey of the U.S., is now finding itself at a loss, driven into an abyss of diplomatic isolation, as the U.S. zealously backed Japan's military expansion for reinvasion.

Pursuant to its strategy for Asia domination, the U.S. is massively beefing up its military muscle in Asia while neighboring countries around the Korean peninsula are taking strong counter-actions against its move. Sandwiched between them, the south Korean authorities' "balanced diplomacy" has proved to be disgraceful one. Consequently, they are now hit hard from all sides, derided and censured by the people for their diplomatic incompetence.

The south Korean puppet group, no more than a colonial servant of the U.S., deserves this deplorable plight as it is bereft of sovereignty. It is a sealed fate of the sycophants and traitors antagonizing the compatriots in the north and depending on outside forces.

The south Korean people are subject to disgrace and insult, peace on the Korean peninsula is at peril and the Korean nation can not live in peace even a moment because of the wicked traitors who make company with the nation's sworn enemy to hurt the compatriots in the DPRK and are hell-bent on the cooperation in the war exercises against it.

The south Korean authorities, left alone after suffering shame in international arena for behaving without any principle, bound to their shackling alliance with the U.S., have brought only bitter disgrace to the nation.
