The south Korean puppet Ministry of Defense recently made public the "2018-2022 mid-term defense plan" to be pushed forward for the five years to come from next year and announced that it would establish the army mobilization command in coming October. Against this backdrop, the south Korean puppet forces launched Max Thunder joint air combat drill involving various fighters and troops in league with the U.S. imperialist warmongers on April 14.

Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Tuesday says:

The above-said maneuvers indicate that the puppet forces have gone beyond the red line in its war hysteria against the north. They remain unchanged in its bad habit of doing harm to the DPRK in league with outsiders.

The south Korean puppet military persists in provocative acts targeting the DPRK with the backing of the U.S. Their main purpose is to finally round off the overall preparations for igniting a war, pursuant to the scenario for a preemptive attack on the north.

The puppet regime has gone so foolish as to attempt to browbeat the DPRK with the backing of the U.S. It is just a suicidal act to challenge the matchless revolutionary Paektusan army equipped with highly miniaturized, precision and diversified nuclear strike means.

The puppet military gangsters should not forget the day when Yonphyong Island was engulfed in flames for their reckless provocation.

If they don't want to meet the final doom, they should behave with discretion, refraining from reckless risks.

Minju Joson says the puppet forces are bound to meet the miserable end with their U.S. master if they persist in war provocations to stifle the compatriots in the north by inviting the U.S. nuclear strategic assets, failing to recognize the principal enemy of the nation.
