Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a commentary slams the U.S. for responding to the DPRK's proposal for putting a moratorium on its nuclear test in return for the U.S. halt to the joint war drills and proposal for concluding a peace treaty with nuclear war drills.

It goes on:

The danger of the joint saber-rattling this year lies in the fact that it is orientated to examining the feasibility of mounting a preemptive attack under the war operation scenario against the DPRK already mapped out by the warmongers.

What merits a more serious attention is that the U.S. is mulling escalating Key Resolve and Foal Eagle into the tripartite military rehearsals involving not only the south Korea but also Japan.

The hostile forces' reckless military actions to make a preemptive strike at the DPRK have reached an extremely dangerous phase.

The U.S. is an arch criminal escalating the tension that threatens peace and stability in the Korean peninsula and the rest of Northeast Asia.

It is the mission of the Korean revolutionary armed forces to put a definite end to the U.S. nuclear threat and blackmail and to bring lasting peace to this land.

The commentary urges the U.S. to drop its daydream to stifle the DPRK by force of arms.
