Rodong Sinmun Thursday says this in a commentary.

It goes on:

This clearly proves that Japan is a watch dog barking in defense of her master.

Japan is still terming the DPRK's steps for beefing up its strategic nuclear force as "threat", not away from its persistent and anachronistic way of thinking, while billing the DPRK's steps as a pretext for meeting undesirable partisan interests.

The present Japanese authorities are hyping the "threat" from the DPRK in a bid to deflect the mindset of the public opposing the revision of the constitution, but such move would rather backfire.

Future never turns rosy for Japan even though it has replaced the current constitution with a war constitution.

If Japan runs amuck chiming in with the U.S. moves to hurt the DPRK, it will face more miserable fate than its master.

No matter how desperately the Japanese reactionaries may work, they will never revive the era of empire in the past.
