Rodong Sinmun Monday says this in a commentary.

It is a wicked design of the U.S. to shake the DPRK's will for increased nuclear deterrent through intensive military threat and blackmail and then realize its ambition for "the north's dismantlement of nukes", the commentary says, and goes on:

It would be a fatal mistake of the U.S. to think it can browbeat the DPRK with such nuclear carrier.

Such threat may startle a jellyfish, but can never work on the DPRK. The U.S. had better recognize this.

It is no more than a bluff that the U.S. gets busy deploying nuclear carrier task forces under the eyes of the nuclear power in the East.

If the enemies recklessly provoke the DPRK, its revolutionary armed forces will promptly give deadly blows to them and counter any total war with all-out war and nuclear war with merciless nuclear strike of Korean style.

The DPRK's toughest counteraction will be a fatal punishment that never tolerates the survival of provocateurs.

Steadfast are the Korean army and people's will and resolve to annihilate the invaders to the last one and totally round off the showdown with the U.S. by bolstering up their nuclear deterrent for self-defense in every way.

The commendatory warns that the invaders and provocateurs will face death only.
