What the puppet forces claimed is nothing new as it is part of their anti-DPRK frantic confrontation racket, says Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in a commentary.

Revealing the aims sought by the puppet forces in getting frantic with military provocations while trumpeting about "the north's provocations," the commentary goes on:

They seek to build up public opinion over the "north's provocations" in a bid to stir up bad blood towards the DPRK and justify and escalate their anti-DPRK war racket.

Prompted by this scenario, they are working hard to make the "north's provocations" an established fact even by using such spurious word as "strategic" and talking about "likelihood."

Another aim sought by the south Korean puppet forces is to tighten their military nexus with the U.S. and Japan.

The plan to introduce THAAD into south Korea from the U.S. revealed by them is bringing a serious disaster to the Korean peninsula and Northeast Asia. At the prodding of the U.S. they are working with sleeves rolled up to boost logistic support and exchange of military information with Japan.

Their loud-mouthed "north's strategic provocations" are nothing but a pretext for ratcheting up the military tie-up with the U.S. and Japanese reactionaries to carry out their strategy for invading the north.

No matter how loudly the puppet forces may trumpet about "dialogue", it only sounds trigger-happy, the commentary notes, warning the warmongers of merciless punishment.
