The U.S. imperialists' moves to provoke a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula were thwarted thanks to the united efforts of the army and people of the DPRK who cherished the revolutionary spirit of Mt. Paektu, the spirit of blizzards of Mt. Paektu, the article notes, and goes on:

The army and people foiled the moves of the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean warmongers to provoke a nuclear war in the spirit of fierce offensive, weathering all difficulties and hardships, and in the staunch fighting spirit of rising up no matter how often one may fall.

It was none other than the U.S. and its followers who went frantic with sanctions and pressure on the DPRK till the end of last year.

Its criminal scenario was to strangle the economy of the DPRK, cause social chaos and check the implementation of the line on simultaneous development of the economic construction and the building of a nuclear force through the harshest sanctions and pressure.

The U.S. desperately kicked up the anti-DPRK "human rights" racket by prodding its followers but they could never mar the mental power of the army and people of the DPRK.

The victory won last year serves as a precious boon for guaranteeing greater victory this year.

Entering this year the U.S. has openly disclosed its ambition to increase pressure on the DPRK through tightened triangular alliance involving the U.S., Japan and south Korea.

But with nothing can the U.S. break the will and stamina of the army and people of the DPRK.
