Rodong Sinmun Monday in an article ridicules such provocation of the U.S. imperialist warmongers unable to discern where to go as the bravado of mentally vulnerable persons and the last-ditch efforts of those at the death's door.

The U.S. increases the degree of military threat and blackmail against the DPRK than ever before, but such time-worn moves can never work on, the article says, adding:

The lunatic hysteria of the U.S. will precipitate its own destruction.

The army and people of the DPRK turned out as one, rallied closer around respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un and are now dynamically advancing toward the final victory of the revolutionary cause of Juche while resolutely frustrating the war moves of the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet forces keen to wreck peace and extremely strain the situation on the Korean peninsula.

The DPRK has displayed its huge political and military might as the nuclear weapons state despite unprecedented hardships and difficulties, and it has nothing to fear.

If the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet forces make a small spark in the sphere where the DPRK exercises its sovereignty, our revolutionary armed forces will scorch the bases of aggression and provocation to make them impossible to live and reliably defend the country's security and people's happiness and achieve the historic cause of national reunification without fail.
