The U.S., however, has not yet gotten rid of its old confrontation-minded conception, the commentary notes, and goes on:

Had the Obama administration come to its senses earlier and made even a little effort to approach the DPRK without prejudice, the situation would have not turned such grim as today and the administration would not have suffered such shame as departing from the arena of history leaving its DPRK policy failure.

The U.S. now finds itself in a nightmare of getting its mainland hit by a nuclear bomb anytime as the DPRK is taking stronger measures to bolster its nuclear force at a high level and asserting its position to make preemptive attack on the former.

Misguided policy is bound to produce wrong results.

The U.S. had better bear in mind an aphorism that one who threatens others can not be peaceful oneself.

It should make a bold decision to withdraw its anachronistic hostile policy toward the DPRK, squarely facing up to the latter's strategic position.
