To this end, the U.S. and the south Korean authorities should unconditionally stop various types of annual joint military exercises against the DPRK, the article says, and goes on:

The south Korea-U.S. joint military exercises are a main factor threatening peace on the Korean peninsula and doing harm to the Korean nation's security.

Such drills can never be justified with any rhetoric as they bring only misfortune and disaster to the Korean nation. They are an extension of the U.S. vicious hostile policy towards the DPRK and outcome of its strategy for world domination.

The U.S. should immediately stop its reckless acts of testing the DPRK's patience, properly aware that the escalation of the tension on the Korean peninsula will bring only death to it.

If the south Korean authorities truly want peace, they should take a step to deter the U.S. aggressive and bellicose acts, not pulling up the DPRK's nuclear deterrence for self-defence, pursuant to the U.S. hostile policy towards the DPRK.

The acute military confrontation between the north and the south may deepen mistrust and misunderstanding among the fellow countrymen and cause even the national disaster.

The south Korean authorities should make clear their stand on the DPRK's demand that steps be promptly taken to defuse the acute military tension on the Korean peninsula.
