The gentry of the puppet foreign and unification ministries has become all the more zealous in begging for international cooperation for sanctions against the DPRK and confrontation racket with fellow countrymen, stressing the need to check the "north's dialogue offensive devoid of sincerity" and strengthen the pressure for "change and denuclearization".

Meanwhile, the south Korean puppet military authorities are hell-bent on the military provocative moves to stifle the DPRK by force from the outset of the year.

Rodong Sinmun on Sunday says in an article in this regard:

The south Korean puppet authorities' above-said confrontational rackets reveal their unchanged inveterate bad habit and traitorous nature.

They are no more than the last-ditch efforts of the confrontational maniacs upset by the trend of the times toward the improvement of the north-south relations.

Recently the south Korean authorities put pressure upon the organizations and personages of all social standings desirous of the improvement of the north-south relations and the national reunification, while resorting to the sanctions and pressure on the DPRK and provocative moves to ignite a war against the DPRK in league with foreign forces. This is the desperate wriggle to dampen the aspiration for the reunification through alliance with the north growing stronger among the south Korean people and evade the crisis of ruin.

However desperately the south Korean conservative group may kick up the anti-DPRK racket, it can never check the fellow countrymen's aspiration and united struggle for the improved north-south relations and national reunification.
