Voices envying and admiring at this are heard from those countries aspiring after independence and peace but those expressing extreme fear and horror are coming from the U.S. and other hostile forces.

Rodong Sinmun Saturday observes in a commentary in this regard:

The DPRK is capable of mounting an overall and realistic attack on the U.S. military bases in the Pacific, operational theater.

The strategic structure of the DPRK-U.S. standoff has dramatically changed.

This is attributable to the U.S. wrong policy towards the DPRK.

Had the U.S. sought a realistic and farsighted way, paying heed to the warning of the DPRK long ago, the former would have never met such tragic fate as now and the DPRK-U.S. relations would have developed favorably.

The U.S. made a serious policy mistake. When looking back on the past history of the DPRK-U.S. confrontation, there were many chances for the U.S. to turn its relations with the DPRK into normal state ties.

The above-said test-fire of the DPRK also reflects its warning that the U.S. should make a switchover in its DPRK policy with reason.

In case the U.S. fails to make a proper choice, it will compel the DPRK to bolster up its nuclear attack capabilities both in quality and quantity and then the former will face more serious consequences.

The U.S. politicians had better boldly recognize the changed situation and make a policy decision in keeping with the trend of times.

Time and opportunity do not always come for the U.S.
