The commentary goes on:

In this year's first round of confrontation, the Korean revolutionary armed forces frustrated the last-ditch attempt and unprecedented war hysteria of the U.S. imperialists and their lackeys by dint of invincible arms and thus firmly protected the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK and its people's happiness.

The DPRK defused the danger of a nuclear war as its army and people, united close around the party, have steadily bolstered up its nuclear deterrent for self-defence, pursuant to the line of simultaneously developing the two fronts.

The U.S. and the south Korean puppet regime should reflect on their reckless criminal acts and learn a serious lesson from them.

The powerful nuclear attack technologies demonstrated by the DPRK are shining successes made by it in the face of harsh sanctions and grave nuclear threat and blackmail by the U.S. imperialists and their followers.

Such nuclear threat and blackmail no longer work on the DPRK.

There remains only the final choice to be made by the U.S. - whether to make a bold decision to roll back its policy hostile to the DPRK or to face a nuclear strike.
