By describing the aggressive nature of the drill as "annual" and "defensive", the U.S. imperialist warmongers are mulling kicking up war zeal once again.

Shortly ago, the U.S. chief executive bluffed that if there breaks out any war, it will be out on the Korean peninsula and if thousands die, the place will be the peninsula, thereby openly disclosing his intention to ignite a nuclear war. The projected joint military exercises in the wake of such remarks clearly prove where the exercises will end up.
