Rodong Sinmun Thursday says this in a commentary. It goes on:

The DPRK's steps to bolster up nuclear deterrent touted by the U.S. and its vassal forces is not a threat to global peace and security but the U.S. reckless saber-rattling for nuclear war seriously getting on the nerves of our state is the threat to global peace and security.

The DPRK dignified with independence will never put the nuclear deterrent for self-defense on the negotiating table and flinch even an inch from the road of bolstering up the state nuclear force already chosen by itself.

It is no more than a declaration of war against the DPRK that the U.S. fabricated the unprecedented "sanctions resolution" which categorically cut off normal trade activities and economic exchange in the UN by branding the DPRK as the "force to wreck peace".

All service personnel and people of the DPRK will show their mettle if the U.S. dares ignite a war against the former.

If an order is issued, we will give vent to the pent-up wrath on the U.S. imperialists and wipe out the aggressors to the last one so that there would be no one left to sign a surrender document.

The U.S., chief criminal wrecking global peace and security and enemy common to mankind, would meet a miserable doom before long.
