Its purpose is to examine various proposals in political, military, diplomatic and economic and other fields and thus seek an effective way of halting the DPRK's development of nuclear weapons and missiles.

What matters is that its options include extremely reckless and dangerous ones such as use of its military force including a preemptive strike at the DPRK, multi-faceted military and diplomatic pressure upon it, harsh economic sanctions, scenario to bring down its system and redeployment of tactical nuclear weapons in south Korea.

Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Saturday says that the U.S. administration is examining all policy options which had been thrown into a dustbin, a clear proof of the great agony it has suffered repeated shame and setbacks in the confrontation with the DPRK and an indication of the fate of the American Empire going to its final ruin.

The commentary goes on:

The new U.S. administration should bear in mind truth that Songun Korea is sure to emerge victorious while the U.S. is fated to suffer a defeat in the history of standoff between the two.

Whatever policy option the U.S. may take towards the DPRK, it will be accompanied by the latter's tailored counteraction of its style and in that case regret will come too late.

The U.S. administration would be well advised to recollect the epigram "sinister purpose ends in poor result".
