Japanese Foreign Minister Kishida talked nonsense that it was not acceptable that north Korea made provocative remarks and acts in response to the U.S.-south Korea joint military exercises and that it is necessary to intensify international pressure.

Defence Minister Nakatani spouted out reckless remarks that possibility of additional "provocation" from north Korea can not be ruled out and that efforts should be focused on the preparation to cope up with all possibilities.

Rodong Sinmun Thursday comments on this:

Lurking behind Japan's shameless moves to stir up the public opinion that reverses black and white is its cunning intention to catch fish in troubled waters by cooperating with the U.S. master in its hostile moves against the DPRK.

Looking back on history, Japan has drawn water to its mill with the backing of a big country.

Japan has kept the U.S. troops which were left with no justifications for presence as the remains of Cold War era and paid upkeep for their presence in Japan with the tax collected from its citizens. This humiliating policy servile to the U.S. is designed to make Japan become a military giant and realize an ambition for reinvasion with the help of the U.S.

The end of good begins evil. The Japanese authorities should remember that their bad habit will bring an irretrievable calamity to them and their citizens.

The DPRK has already solemnly made clear its stand to cope with the anti-DPRK frenzy of the enemies.

The Japanese authorities will be held accountable for the catastrophic consequence to be entailed by their reckless moves.
