Rodong Sinmun Thursday observes in a commentary in this regard:

It is undeniable that the DPRK's line of simultaneously developing the two fronts has emerged victorious and the U.S. hostile policy towards it has gone totally bankrupt.

The prestige of the U.S. styling itself "the world's only superpower" has sunk.

If the U.S. had heeded the advice of the DPRK and made a switchover in its policy towards it, it would have not suffered such disgrace as now.

Taken aback by the sky-high spirit of the army and people of the DPRK, the U.S. went more hysteric, cooking up harsher "sanctions resolution" against the former and staging Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military drills for starting a nuclear war with huge armed forces involved.

The DPRK took a series of measures for self-defence for bolstering up its nuclear deterrence to cope with the escalating nuclear threat and blackmail of the U.S. and its ever-harsher sanctions and blockade.

It is thanks to the powerful nuclear deterrence that the DPRK could direct efforts to the economic construction and the improvement of the people's standard of living and is now conducting a dynamic drive for building an economic power and a highly civilized power in a peaceful environment.

It is the views of experts on international affairs that only fools would try to gain something through sanctions and blockade and the number of the DPRK's nukes would increase with the passage of time. U.S. politicians should not remain indifferent to their opinions.

The DPRK will always emerge victorious as long as the most just and greatest line of simultaneously developing the two fronts remains in force.
